Looking to buy a roofer’s crane, roofer’s lift, aerial work platform, moving lift, mini crane, or ladder lift? Check out our top brands Klaas, GEDA, and UNIC.

KLAAS aluminium cranes were initially designed for roofing work. This is due to the distinctive bend between the mast and the boom. They are extremely suitable for both flat and pitched roofs, whether for lifting materials or transporting demolition materials down. KLAAS has a suitable machine in its range for every construction site. The smallest crane has a hook height of 25.5m, while the largest crane has a hook height of 58m. Our cranes can therefore handle virtually any construction site.

The benefits of this are very clear: working with a KLAAS crane results in enormous time savings. Every crane is operated via remote control. You can therefore operate them either from below or on the roof. In any case, it saves you a lot of ladder work, keeping physical exertion to a minimum. As a standard, we state that a KLAAS crane takes over the work of 1-2 workers. The gain in efficiency is therefore enormous.

However, nowadays we observe that our cranes are finding other applications as well. They are also used for installing glass, or for installing solar panels, for timber frame construction, for wood structures, for steel structures, or, for example, for moving in urban areas where the move needs to take place at the rear of the building.

KLAAS lifts are used in both the roofing and moving sectors. The German manufacturer KLAAS built its first roofing lift in 1954. Based on this expertise, moving lifts were subsequently developed. It was not until many years later that KLAAS began developing the renowned aluminum cranes.

KLAAS aluminum lifts are available in various sizes, ranging from 21m to 56m in height, and can be mounted on different carriers. They are available as trailers or mounted on vans or trucks. The smaller models lift up to 200kg, while the larger models can be loaded up to 400kg. Our machines are always equipped with 2 lifting pistons that ensure maximum stability.

UNIC mini cranes are the most compact cranes in the world. This makes it immediately clear what they are specifically designed for: namely, for lifting operations where access is minimal or the work zone is limited. UNIC mini cranes are of Japanese manufacture. They therefore combine cutting-edge Japanese technology with extremely simple operation. Over the years, UNIC has developed a full range of cranes, with lifting capacities ranging from 1 ton to 10 tons.

These UNIC mini cranes have a very wide range of applications. They are used, among other things, for glass installation, steel structures, timber frame construction, wood construction, in offshore projects, for assembling or disassembling machinery, in aviation, shipping, the film industry, restoration projects, for working below ground level (with ranges from -28.77m to -128m below zero level), for installing cladding, etc.

While KLAAS is the Premium brand of the German KLAAS factory, KLAAS has launched a second brand, namely AMAK. AMAK also produces aluminum cranes, both trailer-mounted and truck-mounted. The reason for launching this second brand is for commercial reasons on the part of the KLAAS factory, which wishes to consolidate its market share as the market leader and expand it even further.

There are, however, a number of notable differences between the KLAAS and AMAK brands. For instance, technological innovations are always launched on the premium KLAAS brand. Only a few years later, these are also rolled out on AMAK machines. This ensures that with KLAAS, you always have the latest technology in your machine. In short, we can state that a separate engine is the most suitable option for driving a crane, not only in terms of fuel consumption but also regarding wear and tear on the truck engine.

At Euro Top Concept, we only carry the premium KLAAS brand. For maintenance and repairs of both KLAAS and AMAK machines, however, you can turn to our experienced team of mechanics.
