MCG Cranes Australia Receives 40-Tonne Crane

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On October 20, Australian crane rental company MCG Cranes took delivery of its first Franna-branded crane, the AT40-2 model, with a maximum lifting capacity of 40 tonnes. The unit has arrived at the company's base in Thomastown, Victoria. It features a three-axle articulated chassis and a four-section telescopic boom with a maximum extended length of 19.8 meters and a maximum hook height of 20 meters.

The AT40-2 achieves its 40-tonne rated lifting capacity at a 1.1-meter radius and 6-meter lift height. With the boom fully extended, the unit can still lift 3 tonnes at a maximum radius of 15.8 meters. The crane is designed for pick-and-carry operation, capable of traveling with a load, making it suitable for equipment lifting and material handling on construction sites.

The unit has a body width of just over 2.7 meters, a height of 3.65 meters, and a chassis length of 8.43 meters. Including the forward-protruding boom, the overall travel length is close to 11 meters. The machine weighs 30,300 kilograms and is powered by a Mercedes diesel engine paired with an Allison six-speed transmission, with a maximum road speed of 80 km/h.

MCG Cranes is headquartered in Thomastown, Victoria, Australia. Its current fleet includes 40 tower cranes and mobile cranes with lifting capacities ranging from 3 tonnes to 350 tonnes. This delivery marks the company's first introduction of Franna-branded pick-and-carry cranes.
