Demag AC 55-3 for Mammoet

Mammoet Germany has taken delivery of the group's first 55 tonne Demag AC 55-3 All Terrain crane.

The three axle AC 55-3 features a 50 metre main boom, which can be lowered to five degrees below horizontal for easy rigging from the ground, while the flexible outriggers set up allows them to be positioned independently with the IC-1 Plus calculating the load chart based on the crane’s actual configuration. The company says it decided to purchase the AC 55-3 after the success the crane had with its Dutch division, and it will be used at BASF’s chemical plant in Ludwigshafen.

Mammoet Germany’s new Demag AC 55-3

Repair manager Vitor da Costa said: “The main reason why we chose the Demag AC 55-3 is its outstanding lifting capacity. In addition, the AC 55-3 is an extraordinarily robust and reliable crane, as our Dutch colleagues have confirmed.”

“We have a large number of cranes from Demag and Terex in every class, and every single project for which we’ve used them globally has been extremely successful, which is why we keep adding more.”
