April 25, 2017 - The ALL Family of Companies has purchased five tower cranes for its fleet. According to Clay Thoreson, general manager of ALL's tower crane division, rental rates continue to increase for tower cranes. “With the economic recovery in many markets, more buildings are going up on tight city sites that require tower cranes," he said. "We’ve been adding to our fleet in categories where we see growth; last year in luffing-boomed models, the year before in larger hammerheads. Now in 2017 we are filling some of our customers’ niche needs.”

ALL reports it has bought three Potain and two Terex tower cranes. The purchase includes two 11-ton Potain MDT 219 J10 CCS city tower cranes, which have a maximum hook height of 231 ft. and maximum hook reach of 213 ft. The CCS (Crane Control System) provies time-saving setup and lifting perfomrances. One MDT 219 is already in the ALL fleet, and the second will arrive in August.

The company also has added its first 8.8-ton Potain Igo T 130 self-erecting crane to its fleet. The crane has a maximum hook reach of 164 ft. and maximum hook height of 200 ft. when using an elevated jib. The T 130 will be immediately put to work at its Pittsburgh, Pa., branch.

 

Two 22-ton Terex SK 415-20 hammerhead tower cranes will be added to the fleet, which have a 214-ft. maximum hook height and 246-ft. maximum hook reach. The cranes are a staple in the company's fleet, and the two new cranes scheduled for delivery in July will have the longer 263-ft. jib.
