The PLM E-515 is an equalized fixed arm lifting crane that looks like an excavator. The E-515 has an active counterweight connected to the boom by hydraulics. The hinged counterweight pressurizes the boom lift cylinders to save fuel. An excavator must lift the weight of the boom plus the clam and contents. An E-515 only lifts the clam contents. If you have a small operation or you need a machine that is easy to transport, the E-515 may be the answer. It is a much better choice than an excavator.
