Botex's unique ability to comfortably lift heavy weights (500 TL series lifts over 2500 kgs at 2 mtrs and 1.320 at 4 mtrs) makes it the only tractor or trailer mounted crane to suit all types of wood handling. A Botex crane is just as comfortable working with chip and pulpwood as any smaller loader. Recent increased demand in the Tree Surgery, Ground Care, Amenity and Local Council market for a machine to go out and recover large blown and felled hardwoods has seen a number of very specialised combinations sold for use behind higher road speed vehicles such as JCB Fastrac Unimog or 40k agricultural tractors such as Valtra Valmet. These trailers can be fitted with air brakes and special road tyres.
The top selling loader is the 560 TL which is available with either a long or short Kingpost. This can be fitted on a trailer or a tractor. It can also be mounted over the rear axle of JCB Fastrac, MB trac or Unimog.
Botex

over 1,000 kgs.
THis model is also available as a 3 point linkage crane.Trailers are available
