Dutch rental company Vegt has taken delivery of a 100 tonne Tadano AC 4.100L-1 All Terrain crane.
The four axle AC 4.100L-1 features a six section, 60 metre main boom, topped by a 10 to 19 metre bi-fold swingaway with up to 40 degrees of offset. An 8.1 metre insert can be installed between the boom nose and swingaway to provide a maximum tip height of 85 metres. The maximum counterweight is 24.5 tonnes, of which up to 6.1 tonnes can be carried on-board within 12 tonne axle loads.

Richard Beenen of Tadano said: “Vegt is one of our longest standing and most loyal customers in the Netherlands. They also regularly transport large parts and counterweights for us. So, it’s always a great pleasure to meet them in person, especially when the occasion is the delivery of a new crane.”

The Vegt business traces its roots back to 1928 when Jan Weever purchased a horse and cart to haul freight for customers, he was soon able to purchase a truck, and the rest, as they say is history. The company was taken over in 1961 by Jac van De Vegt after he married Jan Weever’s daughter. In 1978 an De Vegt decided to sell some of his trucks and invest in the crane industry, his first purchase was a Lokomo truck crane. After Jac’s death in 1986, his brothers Henk, Jan, Jack and Harrie took over the company and today, the fleet includes seven trucks, 10 cranes and a telehandler operating from a yard in IJsselmuiden, near Zwolle.
