The new cranes built at the Manitowoc facility in Niella Tanaro, Italy, feature a five section, 39 metre main boom, with Mammoet opting not to take the optional eight metre swingaway extension. Weighing just under 29 tonnes the RT550Es will go straight to work on a large steel mill and other industrial plants in Belgium.

Mammoet Benelux managing director Wouter van Noort said: “The RT550E is an ideal product for us with its small footprint and quick and easy set-up times. One of the main reasons we selected this crane was because it has the longest boom in its class, so we did not require an additional jib section. Additionally, because we are a rental company, we required a crane that was easy to transport to different jobsites at the lowest possible cost. Because of its compact dimensions, the RT550E was the perfect choice.”
