Who services Compact Crane?
We have had a call this morning from a reader who owns a three axle CTT city type All Terrain crane and is struggling to find anyone who can work on it.
The man loves the crane and says it is in excellent condition and perfect for the application - lifting boats, but needs some work done on the electrical system.
CTT - Compact Truck AG was a Swiss based company that manufactured the first City type cranes in Europe at a plant in Ulm, Germany. The company was established by crane manufacturing veteran Franz Lutz in 1992, with Alexander Lutz becoming the managing director. The company licensed its designs to Terex in 2000, but it failed to commercialise the product and abandoned the project after it acquired Demag in 2002. The company was eventually liquidated in 2004.
The particular machine in question is a 70 tonne CT3-70 which is used in boat yard in Wakefield, Yorkshire. The owner is willing to fly an expert in from Germany or elsewhere if necessary. If anyone has any thoughts or knows who can work on it, we would be delighted to put you in contact. Please email
[email protected] also any other thoughts or input on these revolutionary cranes would be much appreciated in our comments section.
