German crane and access rental company Anker Kran und Arbeitsbühnen has taken delivery of a new Tadano HK 4.050-1 truck crane mounted on a four axle DAF commercial chassis.
The crane can travel on public roads with its maximum 8.5 tonnes of counterweight on board, while maintaining axle loads of less than 9.5 tonnes, and can achieve eight tonne axle loads with 4.5 tonnes on board. The crane features a 35.2 metre four section boom, topped by a 9.3 metre swingaway extension which takes the maximum tip height to almost 48 metres.
Operations manager Hartmut Ballerstädt said: "With its tridem rear axle including steered trailing axle and two driven axles, the HK 4.050-1 has an ingenious chassis concept that gives it unparalleled manoeuvrability and makes it suitable for use on even the tightest construction sites. The crane is a bread and butter machine which any trained crane operator can operate safely straight away.”
"We have felt that we have been in good hands with Tadano for many years. The extremely good service and the cooperative relationship with the team in Lauf are at least as important to us as the good quality of the machines."
The HK 4.050-1 with all of its 8.5 tonnes of counterweight on board, 5.4 tonnes on the deck and 3.1 tonnes on the superstructure - still well within 10 tonne axle loads
Established in 1976, Anker is based in Lüneburg, northern Germany - south east of Hamburg - with three further locations in the region, it runs a fleet of cranes that includes everything from trailer cranes to spiders, city type cranes, truck cranes and All Terrains to the 220 tonne Tadano ATF 220-5.1. It also provides all types of aerial work platforms, telehandlers - both fixed frame and 360 models - forklifts and low loaders.
