The two compact cranes arrived today

ATM is the company that manages the public transport system in and around Milan, covering 87 Municipalities serving a territory with an overall population of about 3 million.

The compact dimensions – include a narrower width of just 2,050mm and a shorter overall length at 3,700mm with 90 degree steering allowing the cranes to turn within their own length. Special axles have also been fitted in order to cope with the extra counterweight required to compensate for the smaller overall dimensions.
