BAUMA

LINDEN COMANSA’S 21LC750 the tallest tower crane of bauma 2016

W ith an impressive freestanding height under hook of 80.9 m and a jib length of 80 m, the 21LC750 tower crane from Linden Comansa could be seen from every corner of the bauma 2016 trade show. This model formed part of the exhibits from tower crane manufacturer Linden Comansa and German partner BKL Baukran Logistik GmbH, a leading crane rental, sales and service company in Cen- tral Europe. The exhibited 21LC750, with 48 tonnes of maximum load capacity and flat-top design, has been sold to BKL, who will add it to its rental fleet. With this purchase and the stunning exhibition of the crane at bauma, the German based crane specialist BKL strengthens its position in the large tower crane market (up to 750 tonne-metre), now able to equip big industrial and infrastructure projects. Another Linden Comansa exhibit at bauma was a 11LC160 flat-top tower crane, with maximum load capacity of 8 tonnes, monoblock mast sections and steel framed counterweights. The 11LC160, which will join the rental fleet of BKL, and the 21LC750

is the first of a large order from BKL to manufacturer Linden Comansa. Linden Comansa also show- cased a LCL 280 luffing-jib crane, which had never seen before at any trade show. The LCL family of luffers, including this model, feature important improvements re- cently applied in response to the suggestions and ideas of Linden Comansa’s custom- ers worldwide.

bauma 2016 was a very suc- cessful show for Linden Co-

mansa: Many customers and dealers visited the booth, including sister companies Linden Comansa America from the U.S. and Coman- sa CM from China; Potential dealers and cus- tomers brought new opportunities in several markets; Orders worth more than 5 million Euro were confirmed during the trade show, most of them for tower cranes from the me- dium and large range of flat-tops; And last but not least, Linden Comansa and German partner BKL strengthened its relationship.

It rained quite a lot during the week in Munich, but bauma 2016 could not have been better for Linden Comansa. b
