German crane rental company Härzschel Kranverleih has taken delivery of a 220 tonne Tadano AC 5.220-1 All Terrain crane.
The five axle crane features a 68 metre, seven section main boom with a range of extensions including a 10.9 metre swingaway extension which can be extended to 36 metres for a maximum tip height of 108 metres. The entire extension offsets by up to 40 degrees. A three section luffing telescopic extension/jib which offsets by up to 60 degrees, is also available. The maximum counterweight is 71 tonnes.
Collecting the new crane
The company has primarily been using its 15 year old 130 tonne Tadano AFT 130G-5 All Terrain for its larger scale projects but has been unable to handle the heavier loads that it now regularly faces, without tandem lifting.

Founder Manfred Härzschel said: “I have wanted a powerful 220 tonne machine, ideally on five axles for over 30 years and now I’ve finally got one in the form of a Tadano AC 5.220-1. To put it simply, we’re ready to take on bigger things with the AC 5.220-1.”
Härzschel was established in 1997 and is based in Cloppenburg south west of Bremen in Northern Germany. Its fleet includes truck mounted platforms in addition to truck mounted and All Terrain cranes. Aside from crane and access rental the company runs a high tech warehouse and public storage business.
