Domenico Ciano, technical director at Raimondi Cranes explained that the MRT159 adopts a new topless crane range design to improve safety and to facilitate the installation on the jobsite.

"The flexibility of the MRT159 now has more jib configurations available, and a selection of three different winches with respective powers of 30 kW, 37 Kw, and 45 Kw," says Ciano. The Raimondi MRT159 can offer a better capacity compared with the previous model, the Raimondi MRT152. Now, the long jib radius can also increase the tip load by 25%.

Deliveries of the new crane will start in July 2016, following its presentation at this year’s ANKOMAK exhibition.

Akem Group, the official Turkish-based Raimondi Cranes agent, is onsite at Ankomak 2016 with the erected newly-released MRT159 for the duration of the event.
