The Algerian SAPTA construction company, who specialise in road and traffic infrastructure construction, is using a Sennebogen 2200 crawler crane to assist with their commission to build a bridge in Algiers.

2924 Sennebogen service and sales partner EURL SM Maintenance delivered the 2200 crawler crane to SAPTA in July this year. It has since been set to work lifting, piece by piece, the steel support for the 600m long Algiers-based bridge.

The crane will also be used for a range of other lifting tasks required at the construction site. Thanks to what Sennebogen describe as the 2200 model’s winching power of 170kN and quick rope speeds, even the most heavy of steel supports can be placed in precisely the right position in no time at all.

Once SAPTA has completed construction, the huge construction site will be an approach road to a new industrial area. SAPTA say the project is challenging, particularly in light of the tight schedule and stringent quality expectations.
Managers at the company are said by Sennebogen to favour one of its machine’s due to their excellent quality and reliable service provided by local sales partner, EURL SM Maintenance.

In particular, the operators have praised the day-to-day work benefits of the 2200’s spacious and comfortable maXcab cab. Sennebogen say the cab not only offers ergonomic comfort, but also a superb view and optimum safety features.

Due to its telescopic crawler unit, the 2200 is quick moving yet stable and secure when on terrain. SAPTA is extremely pleased with the performance of the machine and is full of praise for its excellent handling. Sennebogen says its 2200 machine is set to continue to play a vital role at future SAPTA construction sites.

    Sennebogen has revised its 125tonne crawler crane, the 3300, from the ground up and optimised it to meet Tier 4f emission standards. A 186-kW diesel engine and a multi-circuit hydraulic system power the 160-kN winch at rope speeds of up to 105m/min with ease. A Star Lifter crawler undercarriage adds stability and allows the rig to be driven under load. Crawler tracks can be removed for transport, after which the base machine, at just 3.2m wide, can be easily transported. The Sennebogen self-assembly

    A Sennebogen 6130 HD duty cycle crawler crane is said to be being successfully used by Gral Schotter to extract gravel near Graz, Austria. In the Wundschuh gravel pit, the 6130 HD model is working in dragline bucket operation.
