AT22-2 for Loughlin

Australian rental company Loughlin Crane Hire has taken delivery of a 22 tonne Franna AT22-2 articulated pick & carry crane.

The AT22-2 features a 17.9 metre four section boom, can handle its maximum capacity at up to 1.4 metres radius, or at a height of up to six metres. It features a 2.5 metre extension that takes the maximum tip height to 20.5 metres at which point it can handle just over three tonnes. Maximum forward reach on the main boom is 15.8 metres with a capacity of 1.7 tonnes, or 18.8 metres with the extension installed.

A work platform attachment offers a 20.2 metre working height and an outreach of up to 18.5 metres. The crane has an overall weight fully rigged of 20 tonnes, with 12 tonnes on the rear axle. Power comes from a Mercedes diesel linked to an Allison 6 speed transmission. Maximum road speed is 80kph / 50mph.

Franna said: “Loughhlin's new AT22-2 on its first job picking & carrying a milling machine, highlighting the capability, versatility and efficiency that Franna cranes are renowned for. We're proud to support Loughlin through a longstanding partnership built on performance, reliability and trust. Here's to many more successful lifts ahead!”

Based in Toowoomba, southern Queensland, Loughlin Crane Hire runs a fleet of 18 cranes ranging from a 15 tonne Franna to a 110 crawler, as well as a heavy transport fleet.
