First 5800 in France

French crane rental company SVMM has taken delivery of the first 220 tonne Terex Explorer 5800 All Terrain crane to be delivered in France.

The five axle 5800 features a 70 metre main boom with a bi-fold swingaway and a 12 metre straight insert, offering a maximum tip height of 103 metres. The 10x8x10 chassis features all-wheel steering and as it has been designed with easy road travel in mind, and is well suited for the French road regulations.

The La Longueville based company says the new crane is already scheduled to complete a number of jobs, ranging from the erection of large tower cranes and the assembly of harbour gantry cranes to the construction of a sports arena.

SVMM has taken delivery of the first Terex Explorer 5800 in France

SVMM owner Arnaud Brouillard, who took delivery of the 5800 at Terex’s French facility in Montceau Les Mines, said: “Because of its compactness, it’s a perfect crane for jobsites in an urban environment. The Explorer 5800 has roughly the same footprint as our Terex AC 120 that our operators are well accustomed to, this means they can operate it confidently in a very short time and work efficiently.”
