Dedicated Brick & Block Transport
Block wagons with rear-mounted cranes
The perfect way to deliver or relocate palletised/prepacked bricks and blocks. With payloads of 12.5t (truck only) and 26.5t (with trailer) and remote controlled grabs they can get your job moving with the materials you need.
The grab can be removed for different lifting projects.
In addition, the rear lifting cranes with decent duties, fall arrest/cargo confinement curtains combined with impressive manoeuvrability lend themselves to a range of other work including machinery deliveries, bulk bag drops or placing items in narrow alleyways.
