Tadano Mantis GTC1200 for AGK

Massachusetts, USA based ACK Marine & General Contracting has purchased a new 120 tonne Tadano Mantis GTC1200 telescopic crawler crane from local distributor Empire Crane Company.

Empire sales representative Justin Melvin, who sold the crane said: “ACK Marina does a lot of its crane work from barges and a good number of its upcoming jobs are bridge or demolition work which includes work in low clearance areas. The company also does a lot of work for Mass Port which has strict height restrictions near airports.”

The fact that the GTC1200 has a 2.5 degree barge load chart, was also a significant factor in the selection process. The crane’s first job will be a land based bridge project, where it will work alongside another Tadano Mantis GTC1200.”

ACK Marine vice president and chief estimator John McNulty said: “We chose the 2017 Tadano Mantis GTC1200 because it fits the niche that we work in. It doesn’t require you to break down, the boom easily retracts and can get into tight areas. It has the versatility so I don’t have to worry about exceeding height restrictions with the crane setup.”
