Rudi21Reaching far is our strength
The powerful Klaas elevating work platforms are based on our decades of experience in developing mobile cranes with aluminium booms and integrated work platform functions. This is reflected in their sophisticated design, high reliability and maximum practicality.
Thanks to intuitive operation and sophisticated technology, the platforms can be quickly, safely and conveniently assembled and disassembled directly from the control panel. The low-maintenance cable technology also allows telescoping under load, making it easy to reach even hard-to-access or complex work areas with precision.
The Klaas boom system
The endlessly rotatable boom consists of high-strength aluminium profiles made from a special alloy and is produced in the stir welding process. It thus provides a strength as if milled from solid metal, a long service life and low maintenance costs. Thanks to its low net weight, the Theo achieves outstanding reach values, as every kilogram less in the mast benefits the range and load capacity.
The patented Klaas winch technology enables quick and secure telescoping under load – even when the boom is inclined at a flat angle. As the cables are guided and electrically monitored, slack ropes and skipping are prevented. An integrated electronic length measurement constantly records the current extension length of the boom and uses the data to calculate the maximum possible load capacity. The rope technology used is low maintenance and very easily accessible.
The Klaas support system
At the touch of a button on the basket control panel, the assembly and automatic self-levelling process is started. This ensures that all supports are under the same pressure and that the device is optimally positioned. In addition, the L-shape of the supports ensures maximum stability. Thanks to the fully hydraulic support system, each individual support can be adjusted continuously and precisely. Their long, vertical cylinders eliminate the need for complex underpinning on uneven terrain. Since the support widths are also infinitely variable, even scaffolding, hedges or narrow alleys are no obstacle. The hydraulic lines are integrated into the support beams so that they are protected from falling objects.
Klaas platforms have a city support system in which the extension beams are only extended on one side. The support beams facing the road are not extended and remain within the vehicle contour. This means that the platforms can also be set up safely in urban areas without causing major traffic disruption. Even with the support beams extended on one side only, they achieve their maximum outreach values on the side with broad support.
The Klaas platform control
Klaas aerial work platforms feature state-of-the-art safety controls (PLC) from a well-established manufacturer. These have been adapted to meet Klaas' specific requirements. A modern CAN bus control block with extremely sensitive joysticks enables particularly precise working and prevents dangerous swinging of the boom.
The basket control station with integrated plastic cover is optimally tailored to the operator's needs in terms of ergonomics and haptics. It is easy to operate thanks to direct selection of the most important functions and a clear display. All essential operating states of the aerial work platform can be read at a glance.
