General manager Diego Vernazza, said: “We were immediately attracted by the GMK5250XL-1. A 250 tonne capacity telescopic mobile crane with a 78.5 metre boom presents an extraordinary resource for us. We can rely on the compactness of a five axle carrier paired with the typical boom length of a six axle crane, enabling us to complete a broader range of jobs. And we were not the only ones to be excited by this new model. Many of our specialized customers wanted to book the GMK5250XL-1 for their projects before the crane had even been delivered.”
