New gantry crane for handling of concrete elements

Only ten months after awarding a contract, the new lattice gantry crane is already operating at the storage area of company Kemmler. The crane supplier Kranbau Köthen developed a customized crane product in trustful cooperation allowing the company based in Tübingen to manufacture in a highly flexible way, while improving the business and added-value processes.

A replacement purchase became necessary because the previous crane had reached the end of service life. The main task of the new crane is the handling of prestressed concrete slabs by means of a special gripper as lifting equipment.
