Launched in 2013, BG Lift’s CWE 525 celebrates its twelfth anniversary in 2025. Twelve years in which it has rewritten the standards of the compact lifting sector, establishing itself as a true benchmark among telescopic crawler cranes. The CWE 525 remains unrivaled to this day. A machine that has kept pace with the times, setting itself apart with performance, versatility, and precision in every context.
Designed in-house by BG Lift’s R&D team and built with top-quality materials and cutting-edge technologies,
the machine continues to stand out for its power, maneuverability, and reliability—even in the most complex and confined environments.
Smart compactness, uncompromising performance
With a height of just 2,600 mm, an operating weight of 13,200 kg in crane configuration, and a total length of only 5,000 mm, the CWE 525 is designed to offer maximum transportability and operational versatility. Its compact dimensions allow access to tight spaces, making it ideal for urban job sites, indoor environments, historic city centers, or dense industrial settings.
But it’s not just about compactness: the CWE 525 also excels in high-reach performance, with a lifting capacity of 580 kg at a reach of 29.40 meters with the jib fully extended.
A combination of compactness and power that no other machine in its class can offer.
And with a jib capacity of 3,600 kg when fully retracted, it proves highly efficient even in the most compact configurations.
Stability, agility, total control
Its optimized stabilization system covers an area of 6,692 x 6,516 mm, ensuring effective operation even in confined spaces. Superior approach angles (16° front, 21° rear) and an integrated counterweight on the chassis ensure stability on uneven ground, ramps, or difficult surfaces.
The stabilizer stroke of 900 mm—more than double that of many competitors—offers superior adaptability even on significant slopes, enhancing safety and performance.
Technology serving efficiency
The high-performance hydraulic system and enhanced traction allow the CWE 525 to operate with precision even on demanding surfaces, ensuring accurate movements, continuous power, and stability.
With an overhang capacity of up to 650 kg and consistent operational strength, it is an extremely competitive crane also from a logistical perspective.
Those looking for compromise can look elsewhere. Those seeking a definitive solution choose the CWE 525.
A machine for the present. Still ready for the future.
The CWE 525 is not just a high-performance compact crane. It is a technical vision that has anticipated market needs and delivered real solutions in every operating scenario.
For twelve years, it has won over lifting professionals with its strength, reliability, and adaptability to change.
And now it looks ahead: the full electric version, powered by lithium batteries, is on the way.
Innovative yesterday. Decisive today. The CWE 525 remains unrivaled.
