Dutch rental company Pfeifer Rentals supplied the new five axle crane, on a long term rental contract. It was also the first time the company had supplied an Explorer 5500. The new crane features a 60 metre main boom, plus an 11 to 21 metre bi-fold swingaway extension which offsets up to 40 degrees.
