According to Palfinger, Dong was attracted by “the simple, robust and trustworthy design” of the company’s wind crane.

Thomas Nitsch, managing director of Palfinger Wind said: "This is an important step for us and once again shows that our full range of platform, nacelle and transformer station cranes offers the perfect solution for any offshore lifting needs“.
