Steil Expands Fleet with Four Tadano All Terrain Cranes to Enhance Lifting Operations

Steil Kranarbeiten GmbH has expanded its crane fleet with four new all terrain cranes from Tadano, strengthening its capabilities for diverse lifting requirements across its operations in Germany and Luxembourg.

The company has recently commissioned two AC 4.080-1 cranes, along with one AC 5.220-1 and one AC 5.220L-1. According to Managing Director Daniel Gödert, the Tadano portfolio continues to meet the company’s varied operational requirements across projects and customer segments.

Tadano highlighted its long-standing collaboration with Steil, noting that feedback from the company helps shape product development and operational improvements. The manufacturer is also addressing industry challenges such as labour shortages and rising energy costs by introducing efficient logistics concepts that reduce transport requirements, lower operating expenses and minimise environmental impact.

Of the four new Tadano cranes, Steil has stationed two at its Trier location: one of the two AC 4.080-1 cranes as an all-rounder and replacement for the previous ATF 70, and the other an AC 5.220L-1. With a main boom reach of 78 meters, this crane boasts the longest reach in its class. Operating costs and maintenance requirements are kept low thanks to the economical single-engine design, the start-stop function, and the intelligent engine management system. The second AC 4.080-1 was delivered to the Saarwellingen branch. This crane, including the 1.50-meter-long runner with a lifting capacity of 26.6 tonnes, was ordered because it is primarily intended for use indoors. It can also be used with great flexibility as a taxi crane, which makes it a particularly economical machine for many jobs. Finally, the AC 5.220-1 is mainly used in the wind energy sector. "Thanks to its high lifting capacity at steep boom angles, it is the crane of choice for us for these jobs," emphasizes Daniel Gödert.
