ADEKMA Adds Tadano AC 7.450-1 450-Tonne All Terrain Crane to Strengthen Heavy Lift Division

French lifting specialist ADEKMA has expanded its fleet with the addition of a Tadano AC 7.450-1 all terrain crane, featuring a maximum lifting capacity of 450 tonnes. The seven-axle crane will reinforce the company’s heavy lift division, ADEKMAX, supporting its growth in large-scale and technically demanding projects.

Founded in 2004, ADEKMA operates 11 agencies across Western France and employs over 300 people. The group manages a fleet of around 100 mobile cranes along with a wide range of lifting, handling and transport equipment. Through ADEKMAX, the company delivers complex lifting solutions for industrial, infrastructure and energy projects across the region.

The newly acquired crane has been ordered in a full-options configuration, including a luffing jib, the self-rigging Sideways Superlift system and the Surround View camera system. This specification enhances operational flexibility, safety and efficiency for challenging heavy lift assignments.

“For us, this investment is about reinforcing our ability to support customers on major projects,” explains Frédéric Blais, Founder and Managing Director of ADEKMA. “The AC 7.450-1 combines compact dimensions with strong lifting performance, which is particularly important for the demanding operations handled by our ADEKMAX division.”

The new crane will primarily be deployed for wind turbine maintenance, industrial installation and maintenance projects, and the dismantling of tower cranes at significant heights and long radii. These applications require high lifting capacities, extended reach, and maximum reliability, key factors in ADEKMA’s project approach.

With this latest investment, ADEKMA continues its strategy of regularly renewing and expanding its fleet to meet evolving market requirements while maintaining a high level of service and technical expertise.
