The new crane went straight to work on a wind farm in Burgenland, Austria, replacing aging wind turbines with more modern ones. In total, 10 4.2MW turbines with hub heights of 160 metres and rotor diameters of 138 metres were installed. The crane was rigged with 380 tonnes of central, suspended and slewing platform ballast, to take loads of up to 88 tonnes to heights of 160 metres at radii of up to 32 metres. A further 450 tonnes of counterweight was used to raise and lower the main boom.
