For the best load chart and reach combination of any 60 USt crane on the market, Aspen Equipment is pleased to add the new National Crane NBT60XL crane to its sales and rental fleet. With a hydraulically removable counterweight that’s configurable from zero to 16,000 lbs, the NBT60XL allows users flexibility in choosing the right setup for any task.
Influenced by its successful forerunner the NBT60L, the NBT60XL features additional enhancements in the 60 USt market, whether it’s a boom truck or truck crane. The crane combines boom length and load chart capacity with a sturdy feel and maneuverability for any jobsite. It offers a 151′ five-section, full-power boom for outstanding reach, but with an overall vehicle length of just under 45 ft, the NBT60XL remains highly roadable. Other features that are available include the optional 36 ft offsettable lattice jib or two-piece 26 ft – 45 ft telescopic jib. Contact Aspen Equipment for more information about the NBT60XL.
