German crane rental company Weiland Kran & Transport has taken delivery of two Tadano All Terrain cranes - a 300 tonne AC 6.300-1 and a 100 tonne AC 4.100L-1
The handover
The six axle AC 6.300-1 features a seven section 80 metre main boom plus an 11.4 to 21 metre bi-fold swingaway which can be offset up to 40 degrees. Inserts up to 63 metres can be added for a maximum tip height of 123 metres.
The four axle AC 4.100L-1 has 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.

Director Katharina Degenhardt said: "The crane is a very well engineered and reliable machine that delivers excellent capacities in comparison to the competition, not to mention incredible versatility. It can travel on the road below the 12 tonne axle load limit with its hook block and full carrier box."
The AC 6.300-1 has already completed its first job at University Hospital Heidelberg, where it lifted a five tonne sculpture at a radius of 40 metres from an inner courtyard, configured as a 250 tonne unit.
Weiland was established by Karl Weiland in 1946 and purchased its first crane in 1972 when it set up the crane rental subsidiary. The company added aerial lift rental in 2001, but sold this part of the business - Weiland Hebetechnik - to its managing director Bernhard Schröckenschlager in September 2022.
