GR-Package Complete
La'ala Al Kuwait Real Estate Company has recently received the last of six new Tadano GR rough terrain cranes, all of which will be fully utilized in the Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City Project.
Matthew Roden, Director of Infrastructure & Construction Management, commented: “The arrival of the 145-tonne GR-1450EX completes the expansion of our fleet and positions us well to handle the diverse challenges presented by the project. In addition to the GR-1450EX, Tadano has also recently supplied us with three 30-tonne GR-300EXs, one 50-tonne GR-500EXL, and one 80-tonne GR-800EX. These cranes are already proving their value, especially with their pick-and-carry capabilities, which are being effectively applied across our extensive infrastructure works.
The addition of six new Tadano GR cranes brings our rough terrain fleet to a total of thirteen. La’ala chose to switch to Tadano due to their reputation for exceptional quality and robust technology. The final decision was made easier after receiving positive feedback from other clients in Kuwait. We are grateful to Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain Co. W.L.L. and Tadano for their timely deliveries and ongoing support for our business activities.”
Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City is a large residential and mixed-use waterfront city in southern Kuwait. The construction site covers many kilometers of open land, where the Tadano GR cranes have proven to be the ideal equipment due to their flexibility and high mobility. Typical applications include laying several hundred kilometers of sewer and stormwater networks, bridge and building construction, marina pontoon launching, and many other infrastructure projects associated with this megacity.
