Interkran has added a Demag AC 300-6 to its fleet.

Swiss crane service provider Interkran has added a Demag AC 300-6 to its fleet.

The new crane joins a recently added Demag AC 100-4L. The new equipment was received by Interkran general manager Tony Teixeira and handed over by the Terex Cranes senior sales manager for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Christian Kassner.

"The performance data for the two cranes definitely made a compelling case, so we just went ahead and ordered both of them," Teixeira explains. In the case of the AC 300-6, he was particularly impressed by the unit's load chart. For example, the crane can lift up to 15 T with its 80 m main boom fully extended. This makes it the ideal machine for erecting tower cranes, among other applications. In addition, the crane offers the longest reach of its class on the market - 119.80 m - which also proved to be a decisive factor in Teixeira's purchase decision.

Interkran, which was founded in 1995 as a one-man operation in the Swiss municipality of Lachen, is a service provider with a broad presence, more than 400 rental cranes and around 40 highly qualified employees. Its core competency consists of renting out and erecting bottom-slewing, top-slewing, and luffing jib tower cranes. In addition, Interkran has a fleet with mobile cranes featuring lifting capacities of 70 to 300 T, as well as numerous transport vehicles.
