Entec takes 500 tonner

Brazilian heavy installation and haulage rental company Entec Longhi & Cia of Manaus, Amazonas, has taken delivery of a 500 tonne Terex AC 500-2 All Terrain crane.

The eight-axle AC 500-2 has a 56 metre main boom and when combined with its 90 metre luffing jib provides a maximum under-hook height of 145.8 metres. It is also equipped with Terex’s Sideways Superlift system. The crane is going straight out to work assisting with the construction and installation of thermoelectric power plants in the north of Brazil.

Reinaldo Longhi, commercial director of Entec, said: “We are very happy with our Terex All Terrain cranes, so when we wanted to expand our fleet both in number and capacity, the decision came naturally. Our new Terex AC 500-2 will allow us to maintain our leadership in the Amazon region.”
