The National Crane 649E2 is one of five models in the 600E2 Series boom truck crane lineup.  It is equipped with a 16 ft - 49 ft (4.88 m - 15 m) four-section boom. Optional two-section 15 ft - 25 ft (4.6 m - 7. 6 m) Model 6FJ29M Jib is available. 

Best in class performance and serviceability

• The steel torsion box and flatbed further reduce frame flex
• Speedy-reeve boom tip and sheave blocks simplify rigging changes by decreasing the time needed to change line reeving
• Crane components painted before assembly reduce the chance of rust, improve serviceability and enhance the appearance of the crane
• A control knob located on the swing motor brake release valve can be easily adjusted to the crane operator’s swing speed preference
• Engine start/stop switches
• Emergency stop overrides located at the crane operator control station
• Hydraulic reservoir capacity of 66 gal

Serviceability

• Bearings on the boom and retract cables can be greased through access holes in the boom side plates.
• Removable winch allows the internal telescoping cylinder to be removed quickly, without dismantling the boom
• Internal anti-two-block wire routing eliminates external reel and wire to protect crane components
• The boom sheave case is open, allowing access to replace the internal anti-two-block wire and to observe internal boom components
• Internal boom parts have been reduced, decreasing service time when rebuilding the machine
