VERLINDE cranes components equips TEREX South Africa.

The equipment supplied consists of three 20t and one 30t x 17.33m span Double Girder Electric Overhead Travelling Cranes, all at 6m lift height. The cranes are pendant controlled at the client’s request. They are used for assembly, repair and maintenance of all Terex machines, consisting mainly of large off the road trucks.

The decision to purchase AKHANANI Cranes with VERLINDE components was taken by senior management at TEREX after a competitive tender process and careful evaluation of the bidders after-sales and maintenance capabilities, which resulted in AKHANANI being selected as the leading contender in all aspects.

TEREX construction machines legendry durability is evidenced by the 1974 R-17 Water Bowser which is undergoing only a brake system overhaul after being in operation for over 30 years. “This is the type of reliability TEREX look for in their own equipment purchases” commented Workshop Manager Danny du Preez, seen here at the crane handover with Arno Dahms, Managing Director of AKHANANI EM. “The VERLINDE lifting material are also the smoothest and quietest equipment I’ve operated in over 25years in this business” added du Preez .

AKHANANI MD, Arno Dahms stated “We wish to support our partnership with TEREX and have signed a service and maintenance agreement for the future care of the equipment.
