Two new XE models are being rolled out by
Fassi, the F345A xe-dynamic and the F345RA xe-dynamic loading cranes, which fall into the medium-duty lifting range. Fassi's aim was to extend the XE's lifting range, while still providing excellent performance and weight-to-power ratio. Fassi touts outstanding lifting capacity, even with the increased range.
The new Fassi F345A is a rack and pinion rotation crane, while the F345RA offers continuous rotation on a slew ring. They are both supplied as standard, together with the FX500 control system and the D850 hydraulic distributor bank, Fassi RCH/RCS radio controls, and FSC-S or H stability controls.
The weight and dimensions of both models are ideal for fitting on 3-axle vehicles. When coupled with a truck with generous load capacity, the F345A and F345RA cranes will provide a solid lifting performance thanks to their weight-to-power ratio.
These models belong to the HC1 HD5 S2 class (if fitted on trucks), according to the EN12999:2011 standard, and reach a maximum lifting capacity of 33.4 m, with a maximum hydraulic horizontal outreach of 20.5 m, which can be increased to 26.7 m in the version with six telescopic booms combined with the L214 hydraulic extension.
The cranes will be available in various versions with a maximum of up to eight hydraulic booms in the standard configuration, and in three versions with a short secondary arm. For added range, a number of configurations are available with JIBs.
