Schmidbauer Demag AC 500 with Superlift

Managing Director Werner Schmidbauer comments on the new acquisition: “One of our company’s specialty areas is installation in refineries and power plants. On these jobs, we need a powerful machine with good maneuverability and the space-saving benefit of the Terex star-type outrigger. Another requirement for us involves excellent lifting capacities at steep boom positions.

”Immediately after delivery, the Terex Demag AC 500-2 will be put to work in the erection of a temporary bridge over the Main-Danube channel at Bamberg. From there it will proceed to Karlsruhe for use in the Miro refinery for several weeks.”

The Terex Demag AC 500-2 SSL is the shortest eight-axle machine in its class with a carrier length of only 17.1 m. With a boom extension, the crane can achieve a maximum working height of 145.8 m. Deflections of the entire system are minimized by means of the star-type outrigger. Short setup times and ease of operation through an innovative crane control system ensure optimal working conditions. The crane is powered by a DaimlerChrysler engine with 480kW / 653HP at 1,800 rpm.
