Owner Marcel Könning said: “Before this, the AC 120 was the biggest Demag crane in our fleet. That means that with our new AC 160-5, we’re moving up into a higher category that will enable us to take care of even more projects for our customers.”

“We benefit enormously from Demag’s shared component approach. In other words, a lot of popular spare parts and components, such as runners, are the same for a lot of models, meaning that we need to invest much less in inventory.”
