"The new ATF 220G-5 made by TADANO is now the biggest crane within our fleet“

Within the class of five-axle cranes, there is no way around the ATF 220G-5. With an axle load of 12 t and a 68 m long main boom, this giant can be used for diverse applications right up to those in the six-axle category. These are features also appreciated by Heß Autokran GmbH. The company has selected the TADANO mobile crane as it is the biggest in the fleet right now. We have been cooperating with TADANO for 14 years so far and are convinced by their consistently high quality. Ottfried Heß, the Managing Director, gives sound reasons for his choice: "With the ATF 220G-5, we have chosen the top model in the 220 ton category to help us handle our orders without any problems."

The ATF 220G-5's jib can be tilted mechanically or hydraulically. Thanks to the 20° or 40° offset at the main boom head, the crane lifts loads beyond the edges of buildings easily. Thus, the mobile crane is especially well suited for work which requires positioning the crane in the direct vicinity of buildings. This permits short working ranges, maximum utilization of the lifting capacity charts and, moreover, the ATF 220G-5 has a smaller footprint on construction sites. 

From delivery to the first operation in Kornhochheim

The new five-axle crane started its first operation straight after being delivered. For the new building of a hall belonging to Rewe-Zentral AG in Neudietendorf-Kornhochheim, seven girders weighing 45 t and with a length of 40 m each were to be positioned on a mixed range of materials. One and a half days were allowed for this job. "The decision for the crane was also essentially influenced by the presence of the Lift Adjuster. It provides additional safety by preventing dangerous oscillation once the load has been lifted off the ground,“ statet Ottfried Heß. And thus, it was no problem to complete the Rewe job within the time allowed. Mr. Lemke, the crane operator, was also satisfied: "Thanks to the good lifting capacity ratings of the TADANO crane and work with the full counterweight, we were able to complete the job especially quickly."
