The new crawler crane is based on the CC 8800 model (1,250t lifting capacity), of which 11 machines have already been sold. The Twin Boom System design allows the booms to be freely mounted onto the crawler carrier in order to achieve full on-site mobility.

“The CC 8800 TWIN is maneuverable while carrying load and is therefore a true mobile crane,” says Terex Demag.

Al Jaber Heavy Lift & Transport LLC is a subsidiary of the Al Jaber Group of companies employing approximately 25,000 people.

The subsidiary specialises in heavy crane and transport operations primarily in oil, gas and petrochemical sectors.

The CC 8800 TWIN, to be delivered in 2007, will be used in the construction of large-scale projects, especially erection of vessels, reactors and PAUs.

Al Jaber already operates a fleet of Demag lattice boom cranes ranging from 250 to 1,250t, and has recently added an AC 160-1, an AC 250-1, and an AC-500-2 to its fleet of some 250 mobile cranes.

Al Jaber also operates two CC8800-1, 1,600t capacity crawlers.
