Florida Crane Leader acquires debut 80-ton Truck Crane<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sims Crane & Equipment Co. <\/strong>has been serving the heavy equipment needs of contractors for over six decades with crane leasing and sales across Florida. Sims has a large fleet of Tadano all-terrain cranes, and they are now the first company to own the new GT-800XL-2 Truck Crane (5-section 154.3\u2032 power boom, 33.1 ft \/ 58.1 ft bi\u2010fold jib, self-removable counterweight). Tadano announced two new Truck Crane models (120-ton GT-1200XL-2 and the 80-ton GT-800XL-2) at ConExpo earlier this year, and Sims looks forward to renting its new Truck Crane all over the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sims Crane & Equipment Co. Vice President Jackson Sims is excited about their newest fleet addition from Tadano, \u201cWe have been hoping for many years now to see Tadano enter back into the U.S. truck crane market and have been loaded with anticipation from the day they announced the GT-800XL-2 and the GT-1200XL-2. This is a space we have been needing to update in our fleet and are happy to be able to do this with the Tadano product. Sims looks forward to adding many more units in this class to our Florida and Georgia markets over the coming years and are honored to be the first in the US to do so with the GT-800XL-2 which we will put into action at our Tampa location.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Tadano America Regional Business Manager Todd Elkins adds, \u201cWe are thrilled that the first of Tadano’s new Truck Cranes for the United States and Canada markets will go to Sims. The GT-800XL-2 is an outstanding machine, and it will be the perfect taxi crane for Sims’ customer base across Florida and Georgia.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With low axle weights, narrow transport width and long boom designs, the new Tadano truck cranes can easily get special permitting for transport – making them ideal for taxi crane service. The GT-800XL-2 is designed to provide customers with superior utilization, return on investment and lower cost of ownership. Built with many of the same field-proven, reliable components as GR Series rough terrain cranes, these new models offer the same high quality and rugged durability that Tadano customers have come to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tadano America Vice President of Sales Ken Butz is pleased with the Truck Crane line debut starting with Sims, “All of us at Tadano America Corp are extremely proud to have Sims Crane and Equipment Co. as our partner to help launch the new Tadano truck crane lineup in North America. Tadano\u2019s history of providing excellent quality crane products together with Sims Crane\u2019s dedication to providing service excellence makes this a winning combination and a great value for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
