Demag delivers another 600 tonne CC2800-1

The heavy-duty logistics specialists Breuer & Wasel is adding a second Demag CC 2800-1 to its fleet which will immediately go to work on the construction of Germany's largest power plant.

The first 600-tonne unit was handed over at Zweibrücken at the end of June and the second will be delivered soon. The machine is equipped with a 138 metre main boom, an 84 metre main boom extension and Sideways Superlift.

Managing director Matthias Wasel said: "What swayed the decision for us was in particular its great flexibility - there is currently no other 600 tonne crawler crane available that offers so many effective configurations for very varied applications.“ Moreover, it features as an optional extra the hydraulic quick-connect system that enables the superstructure and carriage to be connected and disconnected in record time - the process takes only a few minutes. Other notable features are a lightweight 24 metre fixed fly jib and wide track shoes, each two metres across.
