SIX-WHEEL DRIVE CRANE TRUCK ARRIVES IN NZ

The latest addition to the Aeris Global Field Service fleet has just landed in NZ.

The hashtag#Scania G 500 B6x6 HZ was custom-built in Sweden to Aeris Global specifications. It features a 500hp Euro 6 engine coupled to a G33CM automatic gearbox and numerous options engineered at the factory specifically for off-road crane operation.

The rig will be fitted with a hashtag#Palfinger PK 370 TEC Knuckle Boom Crane with a lifting moment of 343.3kNm (35mt) and includes front and rear outriggers.

The crane features continuous slew and an impressive array of options including the proprietary HPSC (High Performance Stability) system developed by Palfinger. The system uses a “real data algorithm” to calculate the maximum lifting capacity at each point of the fully variable working range.

The truck and crane will be delivered to the highly experienced and capable hands of T. L. MacLean Limited in Mosgiel to couple the crane and construct the purpose-built deck.

The rig is expected to be complete by the end of November and will operate throughout NZ.

Its primary role is to deliver, assemble, install and service aerators, mixers, and decanters and safe access equipment; deliver and collect export and import consignments to and from port; transport portable site offices to worksites; backload materials from suppliers and perform miscellaneous logistics duties.
