Würzburger Kranverleih owner Ibrahim Haido said: "The cranes are getting ever better and more modern. Our operators are happy with the controls, the crane superstructure and also with how they handle on the road. Since the crane is able to travel on the road withmuch of its counterweight we are able to use it as a big taxi crane. It can handle most of the jobs we do, such as steel frame building erection or placing prefabricated concrete parts without the need for a ballast truck to follow behind."
Established in 1994, family owned Würzburger Kranverleih is based in Würzburg - between Nuremburg and Frankfurt - and runs a fleet of 15 cranes up to 300 tonnes, along wit a fleet of recovery and transport trucks, from four locations including the headquarters and three branches with 30 employees.
