Load King Stinger 80-160 Receives 2022 Construction Equipment Magazine’s Top 100 New Products Award

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Load King's Stinger 80-160 Boom Truck is one of the Top 100 New Products of 2022 in "Construction Equipment" magazine. Load King, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Custom Truck One Source.

The Stinger 80-160, which is a continuation of Load King’s innovation in boom truck and lift engineering, is the company’s fifth product to be featured in a CE Magazine’s annual list.

“It’s exciting to see one of our products recognized in the industry yet again this year,” said John Lukow, Senior Vice President, Cranes for Load King. “We’re working hard to build the Load King name and generate awareness of the quality and durability our brand brings to the market.”

The Stinger 80-160 boom truck has a maximum lifting capacity of 160,000 pounds at a 10-foot radius. The all-new, six-section, full power, 160-foot main boom features a double-keel formed design that allows for a lighter, stronger boom than the four-plate it replaced. The crane has two single stage extend cylinders that provide for two different operating modes: one focused on stability, and the other on structural capacity, making a better chart throughout.

The Stinger 80-160 has a bi-fold lattice swing-away jib for a maximum tip height of 228 feet and offsets to 20 and 40 degrees. The crane can also be configured with a remote control and basket on both main boom and jib. Operators welcome the new LK-1 control system with Select Speed. This allows the operator to customize the crane controls to suit the situation.

“I am very pleased to receive this award from Construction Equipment Magazine,” said Fred Ross, CEO of Custom Truck One Source. “We’re proud of the work we’ve done, reviving the Stinger Crane line and seeing our efforts recognized by the industry is great validation of that work.”

Since 1991, CE Magazine’s Top 100 New Products list has been the longest-running, and most respected award program of its industry. Each year, CE Magazine editors evaluate products that demonstrate innovation, productivity, efficiency, and safety.
