It may be Broderson’s smallest pick and carry deck crane, but don’t let the IC-20’s size fool you. Sharing many of the same characteristics and features as the larger Broderson models, the IC-20’s industry-leading performance is directly attributable to its rugged construction. Operator fatigue is minimized with easy-to-operate direct mechanical to hydraulic controls, delivering smooth and precise operation. The IC-20’s extremely tight turning radius enhances maneuverability and functionality at space-constrained work sites.
