Crane Service adds AC 250
12 June 2013
Rigging, heavy hoisting and heavy hauling specialist Crane Service from Albuquerque in New Mexico, USA, has taken delivery of a new 250 tonne capacity class Terex AC 250-1 all terrain crane.
The AC 250-1 has an 80 metre pinned boom and is transportable within a 12 tonne axle load limit. The all terrain joins a recently purchased AC 100/4L in Crane Services’ fleet.
Commenting on the new crane, Scott Wilson, Crane Service Inc president, said, “We decided on this model based on our relationship with Terex and our positive experience of the AC 100/4L.
“We were impressed by the main boom combinations and the 80 m full power boom was a definite advantage. Not to mention the crane’s impressive lifting capacities across the board. The counterweight configurations and options make it operationally and logistically very friendly, especially here in the United States.”
The AC 250-1 fills a gap in the company’s product line-up and will be used for customers across the greater southwest. “There is a market for this size of crane,” said Scott Wilson. “An increasing number of our customers now have heavy lifts and need longer boom options. This crane will enable us to meet this need.”
