Repeat order for Kavanagh

Ireland’s Kavanagh crane hire has taken delivery of two new Tadano All Terrain cranes, a 100 tonne AC 4.100L-1 and a 220 tonne AC 5.220L-1.

The order is identical to one placed at the start of 2017 - although the cranes carried the Demag name back then - when they were the first of these models to arrive in the country.

The four axle AC 100-4L has a 59.4 metre main boom, topped by a 10 to 19 metre bi-fold swingaway, to which an eight metre insert can be added between the boom nose and the swingaway, for a maximum tip height of 85 metres. The five axle AC 220-5 features an eight section 78 metre main boom plus an 11.4 to 21 metre bi-fold swingaway extension to which a six metre insert can be added, the maximum tip height of just over 100 metres in either configuration.

The new cranes arrive

Managing director Pat Kavanagh said: “The reason we decided on these two models again was that we find their quality, performance, and reliability to be absolutely unbeatable. And we can already tell how the One Tadano strategy is making their excellent service even better.”

Established in 1973, Kavanagh runs a fleet of around 50 cranes from four depots - Dublin, Wexford, Carlow and Waterford. Its fleet ranges from a 25 tonne two axle city crane to a 500 tonne Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1 All Terrain crane.

The company has a reputation for being the first in Ireland to acquire new crane models and technology. It has been steadily updating its fleet in the past few years, including Ireland’s first 45 tonne Demag AC 45 City crane in 2019, and the first Spierings eLift self-erecting mobile tower crane late last year.
