CP Crane Takes Delivery of the First
Canadian Professional Crane, Inc., (CP Crane) of Waterdown, Ontario, recently purchased a new 72.5 t Terex® Crossover 8000 boom truck, the first one sold in Canada. CP Crane’s Crossover 8000 superstructure is mounted on a 2014 Freightliner 114SD chassis, configured with a 38 m fully powered, 4-section boom with a quick reeve boom head and a 10 m to 17 m offset jib. The X-pattern outrigger design on the Crossover 8000 crane eliminates the need for the front stabilizer jack. This decreases overall crane length and weight. The Terex Crossover 8000 crane is also equipped with a quick-reeving hook block featuring 5 sheaves to offer its maximum capacity, giving it the flexibility to handle some complex lifts. With these features, the Crossover 8000 provides CP Crane with the strongest lift capacity of any boom truck available in North America. “The additional capacity and the compact footprint allows us to lift massive loads in tight areas, giving us an edge over our competitors,” says Aram Malek, of CP Crane. “And, having one operator on the job saves us a considerable amount of expense we would otherwise have to incur when using a crane that can handle this amount of weight.“ Other factors that weighed into CP Crane’s purchase was that the Crossover 8000 crane has minimal weight per axle and travel speeds of up to 113 km/h, enabling the company’s crews to drive the crane directly to most work sites. CP Crane’s Crossover 8000 also carries full counterweights on board, so there is no need for a separate shipment or the headache of adding and removing the weights for transport. And, because the Crossover 8000 boom truck does not require a front stabilizer jack, CP Crane’s setup time will be considerably reduced. The company purchased the new boom truck from Cropac Equipment Inc.
