Franz Bracht has used three Sennebogen crawler cranes to ensure the smooth construction of a new furniture store in Offenburg, Germany.

The basic structure of the new shopping center is rising up from around 1700cu m of reinforced concrete elements.

The crawler cranes, two 4400 models and one 5500, can be used as pick and carry machines, moving over the ground at walking speed with goods on the hook up to 90% of the maximum safe working load.

The building complex consists of several wings, which are each supplied by one of the cranes. The machines move up and down along the center axis and thus serve both sides of the building section, which are arranged like fingers on a hand. Heavy prefabricated concrete components can be precisely positioned with little effort.

"We have placed our trust in the reliable Sennebogen cranes for decades. Especially the flexible crawler cranes with their simple technology and space-saving transport are popular machines in our machine park," says Thomas Spangemacher, technology director at Franz Bracht.
