New Tadano HK 4.070-1 Truck-mounted Crane perfect for Pluimers Kraanverhuur
Ask about the Tadano HK 4.070-1, and Willard Pluimers, the managing director behind the Rijssen, Netherlands-based crane service provider of the same name, will be more than happy to tell you all the reasons why he thinks it is an excellent purchase.
โWe chose this particular crane mainly because itโs a lot more cost-effective to buy and operate than an all terrain crane, given the sorts of jobs we intend to use it for. Itโs also very simple to operate,โ he said on taking delivery of the crane at his companyโs business premises in Rijssen. The crane was formally handed over by Tadano Sales Manager Netherlands Richard Beenen.
Pluimers was just as sold on the HK 4.070-1โs technical features, particularly the Volvo tridem axle group, which, with its steered trailing axle, gives the carrier a very small turning radius. In fact, he is a big fan of the Volvo carrier for a lot of reasons, including the Volvo I-Shift transmissionโs popularity with his crane operators and Volvoโs famously high standards of quality and service. All of which are part of the HK 4.070-1 package.
For Pluimers, further plus points include the craneโs H-style outrigger system and five outrigger bases, which make the machine extremely versatile at tight work sites. And then thereโs the Tadano Smart Chart system.
โThis intelligent control system for combined main boom and rooster sheave operation increases the available lifting capacity to the point where we can even use the HK 4.070-1 for lifts in the 80-tonne class,โ he said. For Pluimers, these features all add up to make the Tadano HK 4.070-1 the perfect all-round package.
