The chassis uses same technique as all my other cranes – all axles are mounted on a single axle, that goes throguh whole chassis from front to back. 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th axle can bee steered by gear on the back. The boom is elevated by two linear actuators, driven by 20z gear on the side of the supestructure. The z12 gear above it operates the winch. Boom can be extended manually.
