Overview
Drives to the job, lifts when it gets there.
The 65|HT is a genuine highway truck: an 8×4 chassis on Raydan air-ride suspension that carries itself to the jobsite at up to 60.7 mph, no trailer required. Once positioned, its four-section boom telescopes to 115 ft, and with the optional 28.5 to 51 ft bi-fold fly it reaches a 171 ft tip height.
CALC-selectable outriggers set up in full, intermediate, or retracted positions, backed by a fifth front-bumper outrigger for tight pick-and-carry work. A Cummins L9 (370 hp) drives both the road and the crane functions, run through a ZF AS-Tronic 12-speed automated manual with no clutch pedal.
