AKM takes delivery of new Tadano mobile crane

AKM Autokranvermietung, which has its headquarters in Munich, Germany, has added another Tadano crane to its fleet.

The company has purchased a Tadano AC 7.450-1, a six-axle mobile crane said to have the power of an eight-axle model.

“We were delighted by the AKM team’s visit here [at Tadano headquarters] in Zweibrücken and, of course, pleased that our long-standing customer has once again chosen a large crane from our company,” said sales manager Hans Asam, who handed over the AC 7.450-1.

The crane delivered to AKM has optional features which include a luffing jib and SSL (Sideways Superlift); plus the crane is able to self-rig the SSL. The features will improve versatility, as will the IC-1 crane control system and the Surround View camera system, which is especially helpful on tight construction sites.

“All things considered, the AC 7.450-1 is definitely a valuable addition to our fleet and sets a new technical standard in its class,” said AKM’s managing director, Sven Bauer, who was joined by several of his operators and fitters at the handover.

AKM offers customers a range of services, including crane and forklift rental, heavy transport industrial assembly and operational planning.
