Turkish heavy lift and transport specialist Hareket has taken delivery of a 2,200 tonne capacity lattice boom crawler crane.

The Sany SCE22000A with double boom was delivered from the factory in China to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

A handover ceremony was attended by many senior figures from the two companies and local dignitaries in Dubai. Among them were Abdullah Altunkum, Hareket CEO, Tom Liu, Sany Crane general manager, and Onur Saylan, consul general of Dubai.

This investment, which is one of the largest cranes in the region, will enable us to continue providing the best service to our customers in energy, nuclear energy, oil & gas, and mega construction projects,” Altunkum continued.
