“The AC 1000 All Terrain crane offers companies a unique combination of power, reach and mobility that no other competitive crane model can,” said Jim Strobush, regional sales manager for Terex Cranes. “This nine-axle crane can be used in certain applications instead of a lattice boom crawler crane and offers the distinct advantages of much faster mobilisation and quicker rigging. It will definitely give Deep South a competitive edge in its market.”

Jeremy Landry, project manager at Deep South Crane & Rigging added “Its ability to handle significant weight at an extreme tip height will give us versatility in planning jobs, since we will be able to mobilise this crane in place of other cranes in our fleet. We are proud to add this equipment to our fleet as a state-of-the-art solution to meet our customers’ needs.”
