New Tadano AC 3.045-1 city crane for switzerland-based Richi AG

The new crane was handed over by Tadano Sales Manager Michael Zieger at Richi’s premises in Weiningen.

Ask Florian Färber, the Head of Cranes and Special Load Transportation at Richi AG, and he will tell you that it is as though the Tadano AC 3.045-1 City had been made specifically for his company: “Its extremely compact design makes it extraordinarily maneuverable, and that’s exactly what’s needed for the type of terrain we have in Switzerland, where space is often very tight. On top of that, its latest engine generation, together with its particulate filter, meets the stringent emission requirements here in Switzerland – not to mention, of course, that Tadano City cranes are exceptionally reliable,” he says while naming what he considers to be some of the crucial advantages behind the AC 3.045-1 City. And he speaks from experience. 

After all, the team at Richi AG was already more than satisfied with the preceding model, which is why it was remarkably easy for the Swiss crane experts to decide to acquire the current Tadano AC 3.045-1 City. The new crane was handed over by Tadano Sales Manager Michael Zieger at Richi’s premises in Weiningen.

What Florian Färber likes the most about the current Tadano AC 3.045-1 City is its higher engine output when compared to its predecessor, as well as rear axle steering that makes the crane extremely maneuverable. But he also found the machine’s technical specifications to be particularly impressive: The clincher there was the machine’s immense strength when telescoping under load, not to mention its Flex Base outrigger system, which makes it possible to extend the machine’s outriggers to any point within their range even in asymmetrical configurations, maximizing lifting capacities at work sites where space is at a premium. Richi ordered the crane with a 6x4x6 drivetrain and will be using it, among other things, for indoor projects. The model’s design makes it perfect for this kind of work – which the company’s unit has in fact already shown.
