INDEPENDENCE, OH To meet an increased demand for tower crane rental, the ALL Family of Companies announces its purchase of a package of five new tower cranes. ALL's diverse fleet of towers from Manitowoc/Potain and Terex now numbers approximately 100, with capacities ranging from 6 tons to 35 tons. 

The five-crane package includes the following:

Two of the new Manitowoc/Potain CCS City Tower Cranes, model MDT 219 J10, with a maximum hook reach of 213 feet and a maximum hook height of 231 feet. Its innovative CCS (Crane Control System) provides fast, time-saving setup and outstanding lift performance. One MDT 219 is already in the ALL fleet and ready to work; the second is due to arrive in August.

One Manitowoc/Potain Igo T 130, the largest self-erecting tower crane from Potain, with a maximum hook reach of 164 feet  and a maximum hook height of 200 feet when using an elevated jib. The new T 130 the first one in the ALL tower fleet has a greater capacity than others in its class, offering enormous flexibility with its multiple jib configurations, variable mast heights, and an offsettable jib. The T 130, available immediately, will be put into service by their Pittsburgh branch.

Two Terex SK 415-20 hammerhead tower cranes feature a maximum hook reach of 246 feet and a maximum hook height of 214 feet. These workhorses are a popular staple in the ALL fleet, so the company chose to add two more that have the longer 263-foot jib. The SK 415s are due for delivery in July. 

"Tower crane rental rates continue to trend upward," said Clay Thoreson, General Manager of ALL's Tower Crane division and 45-year veteran of the tower crane industry. "With the economic recovery in many markets, more buildings are going up on tight city sites that require tower cranes. We've been adding to our fleet in categories where we see growth; last year in luffing-boomed models, the year before in larger hammerheads. Now in 2017 we are filling some of our customers' niche needs."
