The Z crane rests on a Mercedes ML55, a proven platform. It has a custom roll cage that bolts directly to the crane, dispersing the weight to the chassis while adding extra security for the operators. The ML55 also carries 4 pin 12 volt DC power supply outlets, monitors for all operators (HD resolution), digital and analog video recorders with variable speed playback, and an open walkie system(VOX) for communications between drivers and operators.
