New crane guide for northern germany
Last week we received a new order for the making of a crane equipment guide. We obtained the crane list and information for transport vehicles as well as information for additional equipment by email. Our new client is a group of crane hire companies located in the northern part of germany.
The order comprises the setup and printing of a spec book for several mobile cranes and heavy haulage equipment in DIN A6 pocketbook size. In the first step we are now going to prepare a layout-proposal for the content pages.

This week we have prepared for printing the new crane guides for Nordic Crane Group from Sweden and Norway. On Monday the final approvals where made so that the printing machines can now be started to produce these books. With a printing volume of nearly 3.5 million pages this is the biggest single order in the 15 years of our company history. In June the equipment guides will be delivered as DIN A6 pocketbook and DIN A4 ringbinder.
Already with the first approvals of the single cranes we have delivered the load-charts for the mobile cranes as PDF-files. They are now available for download from the companies webpage. Some more PDF-files will be delivered in the next week.
Nordic Crane Group is a merger of the scandinavian crane hire companies Stangeland and Kynningsrud. Also part of the group are several smaller crane hire companies from Norway and Sweden. All together they have around 30 locations with an impressive fleet of telescopic cranes up to 500 tons, lattice boom cranes up to 750 tons, crawler cranes up to 600 tons, special harbour cranes and heavy haulage equipment.
More current projects:
We are awaiting the printing approval for the new crane guides of Amquip and Bay Crane from the US on short term. Already delivered in the last weeks were the updated and reprinted equipment handbooks for Cologne based crane hire company HKV, for Schares from Bocholt and a DIN A4 Ringbinder and CD-ROM for Van der Tol in Utrecht.
In the week before Bauma I had the pleasure to go for a short trip to my beloved Ireland for a customers visit. We have already offered the making of an equipment handbook in the end of last year and now it was time to discuss all the details for the content and the layout. Thereby we have another big and international operating crane hire company on our reference list for crane guides.
