Hassell delivers Sennebogen Cranes to Weldex
30 November 2007
Weldex based in Inverness, Scotland are the
largest UK based crawler crane hire company with their cranes
and associated lifting equipment being available to hire
world-wide. Established in 1979 the international company
operates from six locations offering a wide range of crane sizes
from 5 -750 tonnes.
Weldex have always believed in providing the correct crane for
their clients’ specific requirements, and as such continue to
invest in the latest technology available, resulting in a large
modern fleet.
Recently the company invested in four Sennebogen machines which
comprised of two of the newly launched 40 tonne 643R telescopic
crawler and two 80 tonne 683HD telescopic crawler machines. All
four machines were delivered to their Alfreton, Derbyshire depot
where the companies main hire fleet is stabled; there they will
be deployed on various hire duties for Weldex clients throughout
the UK.
Both the Sennebogen 643R and the 683HD models are the very first
to be sold in the UK, the 643R superceding the 40 tonne 630RHD
which Weldex had purchased some five years previously.
The 643R reflects a new dimension in lifting, providing a
strong, dynamic swing drive for fast working cycles this compact
and efficient telescopic crane can be put to optimum use in very
confined work spaces – whether on construction site, in
tunnelling, on tight inner city job sites or industrial
premises.
With a full powered, hydraulically extendable 4-section
telescopic main boom length of 30 metres it features a folding
type fly jib of 6.5 -13 metres.
Weighing in at 36.5 tonnes the 643R is powered by a 135 kW Deutz
engine, with the operator residing in the latest MAXI type
operators cabin.
The Sennebogen 683HD also supplied is a robust, very service
friendly design. With a lifting capacity of 80 tonnes it
features a state-of-the-art load sensing hydraulic system with
5-section telescopic boom and a folding type fly jib of 10 – 17
metres. Powered by a 200Kw Deutz engine the machine features an
F2000 type cab.
Dougie McGilvray, MD of Weldex,
commented,” We originally purchased a Sennebogen machine some
five years previously which we were delighted with.
Our latest investment in four new Sennebogen machines has been
an obvious step forward which has added strength in depth to our
fleet”
