Kanson Crane Service, a leading crane rental company in Hong Kong, has taken delivery of the first Tadano GR-500EXL rough terrain crane.

The GR-500EXL lifts 51 tonnes and has a five-section, 42 metre boom. It is available in right- and left-hand drive versions. A total of three units have been brought by Kanson in the RHD version.

Nelson C. K. Kan, Kanson director, said, “We selected this model for its 51 tonne lifting capacity, 42 metre long boom, right-hand drive with leaf suspension, and continuous road travelling but, the most important reason is total quality of the crane of Tadano and its service support.”

The order is part of a fleet renewal programme underway at Kanson.
