Following the launch at Bauma, we have ordered a new Marchetti CW25.35 25 tons capacity compact telescopic crawler crane for our rental fleet. This new model fits nicely between the top end of our mini crane range and the larger 30 tons capacity telescopic crawler cranes already well established in our fleet.

The physical size is very compact, with a track width of just 2.5 m for transport and light weight of 25 tons together with a length of only 7 m with the boom retracted making it ideal for congested inner city sites.

Marchetti CW25.35 25 tons compact telescopic crawler crane

Pictured here is one of our IHI CCH500T 50 tons telescopic crawler cranes on hire to All Foundations installing cages in a retaining wall for a new hotel on the old car park at Old Trafford stadium, Manchester.

 

Departing Manager Sir Alex Ferguson clearly approves!

 

Once again AGD get DWM Group out of a tight spot, this time at the Eye Hospital in Manchester. The project required a king post wall installing in the street outside this listed building with a hoarding just a few feet away. Traditionally DWM would use a leader rig for this type of work however the tight working space dictated the use of a smaller machine instead.

We were able to squeeze one of our 2.7 m wide CZM EM400 compact CFA piling rigs in to the space to drill 600 mm dia holes to 8 m, and then one of our Maeda LC755 5 tons mini cranes came along to lift in the H piles. The job was completed on time and to everyone's satisfaction.

We recently supplied 3 crawler cranes on hire to Devon based Sam Gilpin Demolition to assist in the dismantling of the old railway bridge at Loughor, Near Swansea.

Two units IHI DCH900, 90 tons capacity and one unit IHI DCH800, 80 tons capacity crawler cranes were supplied on a 24 hour per day basis for 3 days until the work was completed.

In addition to both day shift and night shift operators, we also supplied stand by fitters in order to keep any downtime to a minimum for the client.

The job went extremely well and finished earlier than predicted. Click on the link to see a video of the crawler cranes in action. Photos are supplied courtesy of Gareth Lovering click on the link to see further shots of the bridge being dismantled.

The majority of the equipment manufacturers we represent will be at the Bauma exhibition in Munich in April and our Managing Director Robert Law will be available there to meet you if you are going.

RTG RG21T telescopic leader rig with SMW550 triple paddle wet soil mixing equipment on hire installing a soil mixed cut off wall in Leeds for MEL (UK) Ltd to approx 8 m depth through dense gravels and boulders, along with one of our MAT SCA-15 slurry mixing plants.

A total of 130 m of wall has to be treated and so far the machine is making very good progress.

Pictured here is another refuse vehicle refurbished and repainted for long term customer Refuse Vehicle Solutions

On average we refurbish 2 commercial vehicles per month for RVS who are suppliers of good quality second hand vehicles to the local authority and utilities markets.

A typical refurbishment includes some welding and fabrication work and a full repaint which we can undertake for any type of commercial vehicle or construction equipment.

Our paint facility can handle machines up to 20 m long and 6 m wide, so the bigger the better!

One of our compact CZM EM400H pile driving rigs fitted with a Fambo HR2000 2 tons hydraulic impact hammer has just successfully completed a trial back driving sheet piles previously pitched with a Movax vibratory hammer into mudstone. The 9 m sheet pile was driven just 2 m into the ground by the vibrator and the Fambo was able to easily impact the pile another 3 m before reaching refusal of 10 blows to the inch (even then it was still moving).

This unit is leader mounted on a CZM piling rig which can also be used to drive steel tubular piles, precast piles and wooden piles, however the Fambo range are also available with telescopic leaders suitable for mounting on the dipper arm of a hydraulic excavator, therefore making it an ideal partner for a Movax or excavator mounted vibrator.

Fambo and CZM rigs are available for sale or rental from AGD with experienced operators.
