Fourth 500t for Havator

Finnish crane and heavy transport company Havator has taken delivery of its fourth 500 tonne Terex AC 500-2 All Terrain crane.

The eight-axle AC 500-2 has a 56 metre main boom and when combined with its 90 metre luffing jib provides a maximum under-hook height of 145.8 metres. Supplied with maximum jib and counterweight, and equipped with the Terex’s sideways super lift (SSL) system, it will be employed throughout Scandinavia in the harbour, petrochemical, steel and offshore sectors.

Arto Salo, Havator project manager, said: “We are very familiar with this model of Terex crane which has given us excellent service in the past. We are particularly impressed with its 90 metre luffing jib and its X-pattern outriggers which are a distinct advantage. From a logistics standpoint, we also save time and money by having standard counterweights across our Terex fleet.”
