Swiss rental company Interkran has taken delivery of a 250 tonne Tadano AC 5.250-2 All Terrain crane for tower crane assembly and construction projects.
The five axle crane features a seven section 70 metre main boom topped by lattice extensions of up to 34.9 metres with up to 40 degrees of offset. A 7.1 metre insert can also be added between the boom nose and full extension to achieve the maximum tip height of 116 metres. Alternatively, a 20.9 metre three section telescopic extension can be added with a tip height of 94 metres.

The crane can handle 14.5 tonnes on the fully extended main boom at a radius of up to 24 metres and 11 tonnes at a 42 metre radius on a 47 metre boom. The crane can carry a three sheave hook block or a 5.8 metre heavy duty runner on board within 12 tonne axle loads, or up to 20 tonnes of counterweight where 16.5 tonne axle loadings are permitted.
An AC 5.250-2
Interkran managing director António Teixeira said: "The AC 5.250-2 is an ideal fit for our operations. We were particularly impressed by its excellent load charts, self-rigging extension options, and the wide range of configurations it offers for transport. It's a powerful and flexible solution for both our tower crane erection work and general construction projects throughout Switzerland."
Michael Zieger, Tadano sales manager added: "We're very grateful to Interkran for choosing the AC 5.250-2. The crane is engineered for exactly the kind of high-precision and high-performance jobs they're known for."
Established in 1995, Interkran is based in Lachen in north Switzerland. It runs a fleet of All Terrain cranes ranging from 70 to 300 tonnes, as well as tower cranes and a transport fleet consisting of eight vehicles.
