en.Wedoany.com Reported - German crane rental company Weiland Kran & Transport has taken delivery of its second Tadano AC 4.100L-1 all-terrain crane in the 100-tonne class within 12 months.
This four-axle AC 4.100L-1 is equipped with a six-section 60-metre main boom, topped with a 10 to 19-metre double folding jib with a maximum offset angle of up to 40 degrees. An 8.1-metre insert can be installed between the main boom head and the jib, providing a maximum tip height of 85 metres. The maximum counterweight is 24.5 tonnes, of which up to 6.1 tonnes can be carried on board under a 12-tonne axle load limit. This unit was delivered following the order of another AC 4.100L-1 around this time last year, as well as a 300-tonne class AC 6.300-1.
Frank Brachtendorf, Sales Director at Tadano, stated that Weiland has long been a regular and valued guest at the company's factory, and now even the fourth generation of this family business has arrived.
Sebastian Degenhardt, Managing Director of Weiland, added that after deploying an AC 4.100L-1 last year, Tadano implemented a custom load chart based on the company's specific wishes and requirements. The first year of operation was highly successful, leading to the order of a second crane of the same type with an identical load chart.
The company was founded by Karl Weiland in 1946, initially engaged in agriculture and forestry, and expanded into landscaping, beautification, and sports field construction by 1957, with around 20 employees. In 1972, with the establishment of Weiland Autokran, the company entered the crane and transport project sector; a dedicated transport department was added in 1980; later, a location was set up in Lampertheim, and in 1990, Volker Degenhardt was appointed Managing Director of the crane and transport division. In 1993, it was renamed Weiland Autokrane & Schwertransporte, and the headquarters moved from Mannheim to Lampertheim. The group's business continued to expand, including work platform rental under the name Weiland Hebetechnik in 2002—which was sold in September 2022 to current Managing Director Bernhard Schröckenschlager—bridge demolition operations in 2003, and training services starting in 2007, renamed 1A Safe in 2021. In recent years, the company has consistently invested in its fleet and facilities, introducing an electric truck-mounted crane with a lifting capacity of up to 30 tonnes in 2022, expanding its assembly department in 2023, and in 2024, Sebastian Degenhardt became Managing Director while Katharina Degenhardt took over accounting, gradually completing the generational transition.
