Sanghvi Movers orders another 8 crawlers

Sanghvi Movers has ordered a further eight large Terex crawler cranes all for delivery in 2011.

The eight 400 tonne capacity CC 2400-1 crawler cranes will be used by Sanghvi for a future wind-energy project. The new order, signed at a ceremony in Mumbai earlier this month, is in addition to the 22 big crawler cranes that the company ordered last October for the construction of power stations, wind-energy projects and refineries.

The cranes will be manufactured at the Terex production facility in Zweibrücken, Germany, with deliveries planned throughout this year.
