Managing Director, Peter Todd, said, “As we were just becoming established we didn’t want to go too big, too soon so we decided on a Terex® MAC 25 pick & carry crane because it was the right size for our needs.”
Todd added, “With mobility as the primary requirement, we spent some time investigating the different cranes available in the market. We work on construction sites and in mines with rough tracks and we needed a crane with the maneuverability to get to any of the lifting sites.” Beside its maneuverability, the MAC 25 crane also convinced Todd with its smoothness of control, its sizeable carrying capacity and its outstanding versatility. “There is a lot of work in the gas pipeline construction business at the moment and we see great potential for a crane of this size in our market,” he said.
Koodaideri is also doing a lot of rail work which involves lifting 25-30 meter lengths of rails. Therefore, they needed a crane that not only had the strength to lift the rails, but also had the strength to travel with its load.
“The mining companies are used to seeing these 25 tonne cranes on site, so there is an expectation of us being able to deliver performance with this crane. Being able to get the job done on time and within budget means a lot to this business,” said Todd.
