Terex-Atlas in Germany has launched the first pair in a series of new hydraulic loader cranes. The B3-duty-rated AK26.2 and AK36.2 models with 2.6 and 3.6 m reach, respectively, precede the April launch of similar models, the AK42.2 and AK210.2 with 4.2 and 21 m reach. These two are also rated B3.

Also to be launched in April is the 21 m reach AK102.2, which is built to B4 duty rating.

The sixth new model is the 118.2 VGL, aimed at grab applications. The new 8 m reach model has a new arm system designed to be particularly well suited for fast loading of bulky raw materials.

Single or double stand- up controls with access ladders are available and the crane slews through 425 degrees. Hoses and pipes are routed internally and the main lift ram has dampening protection to protect against operator damage.
