The all up weight is 91.9 tonnes, while the overall retracted width is 3.49 metres with 850mm track pads, extending to 5.1 metres with an intermediate setting.

Kandt was established by Arie and Ria Kandt as an earthworks business in March 1978, initially working from their home in Rotterdam. They then designed a homemade vibrating plate/hammer to replace the excavator bucket for the installation of wooden sheet pile walls. Then moved on to specialist machines for foundation work, including several crawler cranes. Kandt claims to be one of the first companies to install sheet piling with a telescopic crane, in addition to the new Sany it runs a Marchetti machine. The company now has 50 employees and works throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
