250t Tadano for Sicilian contractor

Italian construction company Gradito Oleodinamica has taken delivery of a 250 tonne Tadano AC 5.250L-2 All Terrain crane.

Launched at Bauma last year, the five axle AC 5.250L-2 features a 79 metre eight section main boom with a range of 5.8 to 30 metre lattice extensions, taking the maximum tip height to 112 metres. The crane features Tadano’s IC 1 Plus and Surround View systems, as well as the Eco mode and a start-stop function for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. The crane was also ordered with a ‘surround view’ camera system and includes a load monitoring camera on the main boom.

The new crane will be used for various projects within the oil & gas, industrial and infrastructure sectors across Sicily.

Owner and founder Angiolino Gradito said: “We were particularly impressed by the crane's load charts, main boom length, and the versatility it offers both on the road and at the job site. These are significant advantages for the complex and diverse projects we carry out for our clients."

"Our goal is to continually invest in equipment that enables us to work safely, efficiently, and with a high degree of flexibility. The AC 5.250L-2 delivers the performance and technology we need to keep providing reliable lifting solutions across Sicily."

Founded in 1993 and based in Gela, southern Sicily, Gradito Oleodinamica offers full design and technical services, manages construction projects, and provides maintenance, lifting and transport services, along with heavy lift contracts.
