You can get the reach of the 50-meter class like never before without the weight restrictions. With a five-section boom, the 56Z still comes in at less than 100,000 pounds, giving you more options in a 50-meter class vehicle. The innovative, compact design provides a lighter unit with a small footprint that still delivers a vertical reach of 180 feet 10 inches and 163 feet 10 inches of horizontal reach. With the usual Putzmeister flexibility, strength, and dependability comes additional benefits. This includes the small but revolutionary RFID hopper grate switch and an optimized boom and structural components for weight-to-strength. This truck brings together world-class design and user value into a DOT-friendly package.
