New Maeda dealer for Czech/Slovakia

Kranlyft has appointed Prague based Pragotechnik as the Maeda spider and mini crane distributor for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Founded in 1992, Pragotechnik has for many years sold Grove cranes in the Czech Republic, while modifying and trading the Czech built CKD cranes on Tatra chassis.
In 2004 the company was officially appointed as the Grove distributor and service centre for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

With increasing demands from its clients for smaller, lighter cranes the company started a search for a product to fit the bill. After finding Kranlyft and the Maeda range earlier this year, the two parties started working together including exhibiting at the Brno fair in April.

Frantisek Chalupa of Pragotechnik says that he is highly positive about the future market for mini cranes in his territory and fully expects the demand for these new products to grow as the message spreads.
