All 20 units feature the Terex EVO 1 operators cab for designed to offer quick set-up, excellent visibility and new levels of operator comfort. Low temperature and collar kits have also been ordered for each model. All 20 cranes will be delivered by the end of this year.

Lider director Aleksandr Nikolaevich Nekrasov said: “The versatility and all-round lifting performance of the CTT 161A-8 TS is particularly well-suited for the intensive operation and scope of applications we need. Besides the savings we’ll make as the owners of a tower crane fleet dedicated to our needs, we are confident that when they are not on our jobsites, the advantages of renting cranes of this operating efficiency and capacity is something that other companies will be quick to seize.”
