More large dinghies for crane points

Swedish rental company Kranpunkten has taken delivery of a range of new top-of-the-range, fully electric Dingli boom and scissor lifts as part of its move to a fully climate-neutral rental fleet.

The newest units include Dingli’s 139-foot BT44ERT boom lift and the 99-foot Dingli 3225 DC Rough Terrain scissor lift.
The BT44ERT aerial work platform offers a maximum working height of 44 metres with a reach of 27.2 metres and 300 kg on the platform, while the maximum lifting capacity of 454 kg can be increased to a reach of 24.9 metres. Kranpunkte is the first Swedish rental company to include this model in its range.

The 3225DC scissor lift offers a maximum working height of 32 metres and can be driven at full height with its maximum platform capacity of 1,000 kg. The 2.1 metre deck extension can be locked at any point and benefits from the full 1,000 kg platform capacity, while the overall deck length is extended from 6.2 metres to 8.3 metres. Four-wheel drive and steering are standard, as are auto-levelling outriggers.

Purchasing Manager Rikard Jönsson said: “We continue to invest in fully electric lifts in line with our strategy to be fully climate neutral by 2030. This means that we have to set high demands on our equipment suppliers to continuously develop more environmentally friendly products. It is therefore gratifying to see that technological developments now enable us to complement our fleet with electric machines that can handle really great heights and complex workplaces.”

Kranpunkte Sweden, based in Båstad in southern Sweden, was founded in 1989 in Förslöv between Gothenburg and Malmö. Today, the company operates a fleet of more than 4,500 machines at nine locations with around 110 employees, mainly aerial work platforms, including boom lifts, scissor lifts, trailer lifts, truck-mounted platforms and mast climbing platforms, as well as telehandlers and wheel loaders. Today, 85 percent of the machines in the fleet are either electric or hybrid-powered.
