In addition to the vertical mast lift, the boom lifts from the horizontal position up to a 15° angle for greater height.
According to the manufacturer, the battery-operated unit runs "smooth, clean and quiet" while all crane functions are hydraulically operated, which includes the optional hydraulic winch cable lift that is able to reach far below floor levels into man holes, pits, basements, or lower levels.
Air Technical Industries also claims the new version of the RBC improves versatility for challenging industrial applications in situations where items need to be lifted, transported and also articulated in assembly or maintenance operations.
"It is especially useful in applications with low headroom or tight clearances. It makes the job easier, safer, faster, and it helps to limit worker injuries and fatigue by eliminating manual lifting, bending and stretching," the company said.
