MSG's Björn Jatz said: "Profitability was an important point in our purchase decision which is helped by the 'one-man concept'. However, it was also down to the low-maintenance and comparatively uncomplicated construction of the crane. Due to the simple technology, a large part of the repairs can be done by your own personnel with little effort."

Spierings’ Matthieu Braamhar added: "The one-man job concept without additional ballast from Spierings convinced the market immediately. The reactions of our customers are consistently positive."
