en.Wedoany.com Reported - German rental company Hess has taken delivery of an all-electric MK 140-5.1E mobile fast-erecting tower crane, which will primarily be used for inner-city operations.

This five-axle crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 8 tonnes at a 12-meter radius, with a hook height of 36 meters. When the jib is in "trolley" mode, the tip capacity at a 58.5-meter radius is 1,900 kg, with a hook height close to 40 meters. The equipment can also be used in luffing mode, with a luffing range of 20 to 70 degrees, achieving a maximum hook height of 94.4 meters, or lifting 1,000 kg on the hook at a 65-meter radius. The new crane's first lifting task was completed in downtown Düsseldorf.

Oliver Kuldtzun, head of the crane division at Hess, stated that the MK is the company's first mobile tower crane. The company had been considering this for two years but had not found a suitable operator. At the end of last year, the company found the right person and decided to take this step.

Hess, headquartered in Düsseldorf in western Germany, has a fleet that includes knuckle boom cranes, truck-mounted cranes, forklifts, Valla and Hoist lifting cranes, as well as various aerial work platforms.
