Terex Superlift 3800 for Weldex

UK-based crane rental company Weldex has taken delivery of the first of two Terex 650 tonne Superlift 3800 lattice boom crawler cranes - the first in the UK.

The second crane is scheduled for delivery in November. The very first Superlift 3800 was delivered more than two years ago to Ulferts & Wittrock in Germany.

The new cranes replace two existing 600 tonne Terex-Demag CC 2800-1 crawler cranes purchased by Weldex in 2008.

Weldex managing director, Dougie McGilvray said: “These latest acquisitions are part of an ongoing investment plan designed to ensure that the Weldex fleet reflects the latest technology and most recent innovations. There is also a growing demand on many projects for cranes that are no more than seven years old.”

“The Superlift 3800 was our preferred option for a number of reasons. It was not simply the extra capacity over our existing CC2800-1’s - which have given excellent service since 2008 - but its lower transport weight and ability to erect longer boom systems unassisted.”
