New 1300H features Easy Reach console

National Crane has added the Series 1300H, a 27 t capacity, stand-up control crane. It can be mounted on a three-axle truck, while maintaining an overall vehicle length of under 12 m and carrying over 2.7 t of payload. One of the new additions is a patent-pending control console technology called 'Easy Reach'. The console itself moves from one operator station to the other. Unlatching the spring assisted console allows for effortless movement into the transport and operation positions. The Easy Reach technology also makes the 1300H the stand-up control crane with pilot-operated hydraulics, which allow smooth operation and precise load control. Meanwhile, all of the valves are centrally located behind a hinged door that allows easy access for service.

The Easy Reach console offers adjustable operating height for ergonomic operation, a start/stop switch, a console-mounted hour meter, and 12-volt power outlet.

The 1300H also features state-of-the-art Can-Bus electronics along with a graphic load moment indicator display and Work Area Definition Systems. Dual 'H' style outriggers and rear stabilizers offer excellent stability and allow full-span, mid-span, and retracted-span lifting capabilities. The four-section boom is available in 21m, 30½ m, or 33½ m lengths. Maximum tip height is 49m with the 33½ m boom and 13.4 m jib.

National Crane offers the 1300H with optional features such as a 7.6m - 13.4m two-section jib. Customers can also order a front stabilizer to allow a 410º working area. Radio remote controls are available as are personnel baskets and a removable steel bulkhead. Durable wooden or steel beds offer payload hauling flexibility.
