AC 300-6 arrives in Germany

German crane rental company Gräser-Eschbach has taken delivery of a 300 tonne Demag AC 300-6 All Terrain crane, the first in Germany.

The six axle AC 300-6 has an 80 metre main boom plus a 21 metre bi-fold extension, with up to 40 degrees of offset. It can handle up to 15 tonnes on its fully extended main boom.

The first AC 300-6 in Germany

Managing director Frank Eschbach said: “For us, the AC 300-6 is not only one of the newest but also one of the best and most powerful cranes in the 300 tonne class. Above all, its high lifting capacity of 15 tonnes with a fully extended main boom length of 80 metres makes it the perfect crane for our company.”

“And we regard the fact that it is only 120 kilometres from our branch in Mannheim to Zweibrücken as a fundamental advantage for our business relationship with Terex Cranes - the short distance combined with the fast service of this manufacturer made our purchase decision even easier.”
