May 24 - Germany-based crane service provider Wiesbauer has acquired a Demag AC 500-8.
According to Thomas Wiesbauer, general manager, the fact that the boom is 56 m long means the crane combines the longest boom on the market with excellent lifting capacities.
In addition to the boom length, "the Demag AC 500-8 is the only crane in its class that can be transported effectively because it can travel without exceeding the 12-tonne axle load limit," explains Wiesbauer.
