Dutch contractor Gebr. De Koning, acquired the SCX1000A-3 to work on concrete structure, waterworks and foundation contracts. Managing Director Leo van Dijk, who is responsible for the company’s fleet of machinery, says: “The flexibility and versatility of the new crane were the key factors in deciding to buy the SCX1000A-3.”
Leo adds: “The reliability and robustness of Hitachi Sumitomo cranes are well known, and they are therefore in demand on a global basis with high residual values. The environment is also of paramount importance, for example when working on a ProRail project the CO2 emissions are carefully monitored and the fuel consumption is also an important factor.”
