K23-33 City
The K23-33 City has been one of the most popular trailer cranes from Klaas for many years. With a hook height of 33 m and a lateral reach of 23 m at a load capacity of 250 kg, the aluminum crane offers an impressive working radius for versatile use on the construction site.
The K23-33 City is particularly flexible due to its quick conversion: Within a few minutes, the crane can be transformed into a work platform without tools, enabling safe and efficient work at height.
Thanks to the integrated self-drive system, the crane can be precisely positioned even in confined spaces. The retractable drawbar shortens the overall length to just 7 m, further facilitating use in hard-to-reach or inner-city areas.
As a single-axle trailer with a dead weight of only 3.5 t, the K23-33 City also impresses with excellent maneuverability and particularly simple handling on tight construction sites.
Features

Support
- Fully hydraulic support with ASC support monitoring enables continuously variable support widths – also in the discharge direction
- Maximum flexibility in the setup for optimal use of space and load-bearing capacity
- massive L-shaped outrigger form for maximum tipping stability
- Outriggers without sub-construction thanks to long, vertical cylinders

Automatic setup
- faster and easier setup of the crane via radio remote control
- continuous lateral extension of each individual outrigger
- Automatic leveling of the support cylinders for optimal construction even on uneven surfaces
- Permanent pressure monitoring automatically adapts to changing external conditions

double luffing cylinders
- torsion-resistant lifting of the boom thanks to two luffing cylinders
- double cylinders for double safety
- Improved reception of lateral guides for a more stable and calmer stand of the boom

infinitely rotatable
- high-quality slewing ring from German brand manufacturing
- The well-designed rotation mechanism allows for endless rotation of the upper carriage in both directions

Self-propelled drive
- Operation of the hydraulic self-drive system via the standard remote control
- easy and precise maneuvering in confined spaces

retractable drawbar
- Reduction of the total length from 9.25 m to 7.00 m
- allows setup even with limited space

Mast system
- extremely strong and weather-resistant special aluminum alloy with low dead weight
- No loss of strength in the weld seam thanks to friction stir welding – the joints are as tight as the solid material
- Klaas' typical hole pattern reduces wind attack surfaces, minimizes dead weight, and ensures high buckling stiffness
- Movable cables are integrated into the mast and therefore optimally protected
- low-maintenance hydraulic piping eliminates the need for complex hydraulic hose changes

Folding pointed joint
- The joint plate is milled „from a solid material“, thus enabling higher load capacities
- Electronic monitoring in the joint guarantees optimal load absorption in every angular position
- Double folding pointed cylinders for additional safety and protection against lateral forces

Telescopic winch
- Rapid telescoping under load thanks to patented Klaas rope technology
- Integrated electronic length measurement records the current mast extension length and calculates the maximum possible load capacity
- low dead weight of the ropes increases outreach and load capacity
- low-maintenance and easily accessible rope technology

Diesel-powered trailer cranes
- powerful diesel engine for reliable crane operation
- fuel-efficient for reduced operating costs and lower environmental impact
- electronic tank monitoring with display of fill levels on the crane and via the remote control

Hybrid-powered trailer cranes
- optional operation via powerful diesel engine or environmentally friendly electric motor
- Electric motor for road use can be removed without tools
- flexible adaptation to different operating conditions and requirements

Crane control
- complex control system according to EN 280 and EN 13000
- modern safety PLC for reliable crane operation
- CAN-BUS control block for precise and sensitive work
- smooth start-stop for low-vibration work
- optionally expandable with additional remote control

Radio remote control
- precise and sensitive control through high-quality joysticks
- Clear display of the most important operating conditions such as tilt and rotation angles, max. Lifting force, lifting rope speed
- high operating comfort and safe control during crane operation
- optionally with memory function for saving and automatically starting defined target points (hold-to-run)
- flexible power supply via standard batteries or cable

Full fairing
- spacious, lockable storage compartments
- safe storage of tools and accessories
- large storage area on the vehicle
- high-quality, clean overall appearance thanks to aluminum sheet

Accessory Fix System
- Accessories safely stored and ready at any time
- no annoying lashing necessary
- custom-fit brackets ensure safety in road traffic
- Equipment of the crane with individually desired brackets

Aerial work platform
- Rapid and tool-free conversion of the crane into a fully-fledged aerial work platform
- equipped with a 230V socket and standard lashing points for personal safety
- Platform can be swiveled 45° to each side

Personnel safety mode opt.
- Personnel safety according to BG guidelines
- Enables working at high altitudes without stationary safety features such as scaffolding or safety eyelets
- Securing people with a crane boom allows free work in exposed locations

GPS tracking opt.
- Trackunit's tracking system captures important machine and operational data such as usage, maintenance, and battery status.
- Remote fault analysis by Klaas service staff to reduce downtime
- Support with billing, logistics and efficient equipment rental
- easier location of equipment in case of theft
