Three-axle Tadano returns home
5 May 2021A Tadano ATF 50G-3 from Nuremberg crane service provider Gebrüder Markewitsch’s fleet, was used for the construction of crane washing bays at Tadano’s plant in Lauf an der Pegnitz, Germany.
Setting-up housing for its crane washing bays was necessary, as Tadano repurposed the former covered winter washing bay to create a small parts painting area. The location chosen for the new bays was that of the former outdoor washing areas. A pit and a surrounding platform, now allow comprehensive washing work to be carried out even in winter or during adverse weather conditions.
A Tadano ATF 50G-3 returned to its birthplace to assist with the roofing and enclosure of the two bays. It was tasked with lifting several dozen girders and posts of the steel structure as well as the roof structure, which were placed on top of the open wash bays. The heaviest steel trusses weighed in at 2t. The area to be enclosed covers 20 x 20m and is over 7m high.
The three-axle all terrain crane with its 40m long main boom and maximum lifting radius of 46m was able to handle this construction site single-handedly without any problems.
Andre Markewitsch, managing director of Gebrüder Markewitsch, said: “Our 50-tonner was able to use this home game to show exactly what it’s made of yet again: it’s compact, flexible and yet powerful enough to handle even medium-sized jobs independently.”
