Korean crane company hosts Manitowoc display
30 January 2015 by Daniel SearleSouth Korean crane rental company Shinui Petra has hosted an event to showcase its range of Manitowoc crawler cranes.
Held at the company's facility at Yongin, Shinui Petra displayed cranes including the Manitowoc 8500-1, 11000-1 and 12000-1.
Around 200 customers attended the event, to discuss both sales and rental opportunities, as well as to see machine demonstrations and to operate the cranes.
Choi Byung Eun, chief executive at Shinui Petra, said: "In Korea, 90% of the crawler crane market spans units that are over 10 years old, so we saw an opportunity to bring in new, high-quality, and low-emission cranes.
"The sturdy design and proven reliability of these Manitowoc crawler cranes make them suitable for a wide range of applications.
They are equipped with a wide crawler stance, a free-fall winch, and self-rigging counterweight assembly as a basic option, so they have clear advantages over their competitors."
