First crane installed at new Aeris Global headquarters in Wanaka.

The first of three, Finland manufactured, Kone Cranes, was installed last week as completion of the new facility draws nearer.

The image shows a Kone CXTS single beam gantry crane installed in the assembly bay of the manufacturing plant. The crane is equipped with dual 3.2-tonne winches allowing a maximum capacity of 6.4-tonne when used in tandem.

The dual winch system allows large items of equipment or long lengths to steel or aluminium to be lifted with ease.

The photo also illustrates the magnificent natural light provided by the extensive use of translucent cladding on the roof and walls.
