Crane load charts and corporate brochures
Most of my posts in this blog are about new crane guides that we have prepared and printed for our crane hire customers. But this is only one part of your daily business. Another part of our work is corporate brochure design and printing as well as design and printing of crane load charts for crane hire companies. In the past I have blogged only sporadically about new printed corporate brochures.
Crane guide for Amquip - The Crane People
In November we have shipped the new crane guide for AmQuip crane rental in Trevose, Pennsylvania. The crane company had ordered an updated reprint of their 2010 spec books from us in September last year.
With constantly prepared updates and additions between 2010 and 2012 we haven't had too much work with the setup of the most up to date version of the crane guide. Compiling of the content was done rather quick and the new printing process was started in October.
With all the different crane specifications this spec book is a real milestone in crane diversity:
Equipment hire catalogue for Schares
Some weeks ago we have finally delivered a new equipment hire catalogue for crane and access hire company Schares from Bocholt in Germany.
For many years Schares is already using an equipment guide which we have updated several times since the first setup. Of course this guide also covers all of the specifications and dimensions of the access platforms from their rental fleet.
Schares not only adds new types of access platforms continuously, but they also offer more and more bigger platforms.
According to the growth of the rental fleet the access rental division has an increasing importance for the whole company.
That's why the access hire people from Schares decided to have a separate equipment hire catalogue for the growing number of customers.
Liebherr LTM 1070-4.1 stolen from Ithal-Kraanad AS
For a long time we didn't hear any new reports about stolen mobile cranes. But unfortunately today we received an email from Ithal-Kraanad AS located in Estonia. A Liebherr LTM 1070-4.1 was stolen from their company yard in Tartu on the 21st of May. The details are as follows:
BKL Baukran Logistik - Mobile and tower crane guide
Only a few days after the delivery of the new Felbermayr equipment guide another customer has received the delivery of a new mobile and tower crane guide: BKL Baukran-Logistik GmbH. The German mobile and tower crane hire company is located in Forstinning, Bavaria.
BKL was a long term authorized dealer for Liebherr tower cranes in southern Germany. During 2011 the dealer for tower cranes and crane hire company has decided to add more tower crane manufacturers to its sales program.
The fleet of tower cranes BKL runs for hire has also seen many updates and additions. Several tower cranes from different crane manufacturers were added to the rental fleet.
Felbermayr equipment guide - cranes, platforms and fork lifts
This week the next literally "big" project was finished and delivered to one of the major league crane hire companies in Europe and probably worldwide.
This crane chart book in size DIN A5 is weighing 1,8 kg and contains pure and extensive information and specifications for a real large fleet of telescopic cranes, mobile tower cranes, lattice boom cranes, crawler cranes, rough terrain cranes, access platforms, fork lifts, telehandlers, mini crawler cranes and loader cranes.
With the 1248 pages the Felbermayr specification guide off course is far away from being a pocket guide (unless you have a real big trouser pocket for it).
