As an internationally operating company with several branches in Germany, a subsidiary in Luxembourg, and a broad customer base, Steil needs the right cranes for diverse requirements. “We consistently find what we’re looking for in the Tadano portfolio,” reports Steil Managing Director Daniel Gödert. This also explains why Steil has put four new Tadano all terrain cranes into service in recent months: two AC 4.080-1, one AC 5.220-1, and one AC 5.220L-1.
“Steil is a long-standing and highly valued customer with whom we work closely. They consistently provide us with valuable feedback that helps us develop the best solutions for our business partners,” emphasizes Frank Brachtendorf, Sales Manager for the DACH region at Tadano. This also applies to the industry’s current biggest challenges: “All crane service providers are currently struggling with the labour shortage and high energy prices,” explains Daniel Gödert. Tadano is addressing the increasing cost pressures in the service sector with intelligent logistics concepts for its cranes. This allows customers to achieve significant savings by eliminating additional transport costs, while simultaneously protecting the environment.
Powerful cranes for every requirement
Of the four new Tadano cranes, Steil has stationed two at its Trier location: one of the two AC 4.080-1 cranes as an all-rounder and replacement for the previous ATF 70, and the other an AC 5.220L-1. With a main boom reach of 78 meters, this crane boasts the longest reach in its class. Operating costs and maintenance requirements are kept low thanks to the economical single-engine design, the start-stop function, and the intelligent engine management system. The second AC 4.080-1 was delivered to the Saarwellingen branch. This crane, including the 1.50-meter-long runner with a lifting capacity of 26.6 tonnes, was ordered because it is primarily intended for use indoors. It can also be used with great flexibility as a taxi crane, which makes it a particularly economical machine for many jobs. Finally, the AC 5.220-1 is mainly used in the wind energy sector. “Thanks to its high lifting capacity at steep boom angles, it is the crane of choice for us for these jobs,” emphasizes Daniel Gödert.
