EMIL EGGER has the most powerful fleet of cranes in Switzerland

New 450-tonne truck-mounted crane from Tadano Demag in operation

Our new 450 t pneumatic crane from Tadano Demag has already been in operation for a few weeks. The AC 7.450-1 is one of the most modern mobile cranes in the world. The powerhouse combines strength and compactness like no other pneumatic crane. Compact like a 6-axle truck and strong like an 8-axle truck, it moves from construction site to construction site on its 7 axles. Thanks to the 80 m long main boom, even high construction cranes can be assembled in no time at all. Of course, in addition to the usual fixed tip, the crane has a luffing jib, guy wire and second hoist winch.
