Steel building construction specialist Perthel Stahlbau has bought a Tadano AC 4.070-1 all terrain crane. The company ordered the crane with a double folding swing-away jib and a load view camera for the cranes 52.10-metre main boom in order to suit applications such as installing roof panels.
The crane’s first job will be to erect a steel building for Belgian customer Nippon Gases. Once complete the factory, in Zörbig, Germany, will produce dry ice.
The new AC 4.070-1 is replacing an older Tadano all terrain which the company has used for the last ten years. It is also the fifth Tadano crane the company has had over its 33 years of existence.
Speaking about the crane’s two-engine design Perthel’s managing director Jörg Müller said: “Our cranes usually don’t have to travel very far, so it made economic sense to us to have an efficient second engine on the superstructure in order to take care of crane operation itself.”
Müller collected the crane in person from Tadano’s factory in Lauf. The crane was handed over by Tadano sales manager Uwe Degenhardt.
