Managing director Manfred Hermann said: “The GMK5150L is the strongest taxi crane in its class. With a partial ballast of 10.2 tonnes, it fulfils all of our requirements for a high capacity, compact crane that remains within German weight specifications and does not need any additional accessory cranes.”

Established in 1972, Hermann Kranverleih is based in Wackersdorf and has been managed by Manfred Hermann since 1990. The fleet now comprises of 15 cranes, as well as eight heavy duty trucks.
