Heavy lifting, transportation, and energy solutions specialist Al Faris has taken delivery of GR-800EX rough terrain cranes, manufactured by Tadano Group.
In a statement, Al Faris said their new Tadano GR-800EX rough terrain crane features one crucial advantage above all: “It meets all the requirements that industrial customers have for crane service providers, including excellent performance characteristics, cutting-edge technology, high fuel efficiency, and the ability to flexibly work with various outrigger spreads.
The unit was supplied by Tadano’s UAE distributor United Al Saqer Heavy Equipment LLC, the statement noted.
“The GR-800EX has all this and more, which is why it meets our needs perfectly,” explained Al Faris executive director Kieve Pinto, who points to the smart chart system and the crane’s two-stage swing-around jib as specific examples.
He added that the high reliability of the GR-800EX, as well as the associated low maintenance costs, is something that the team at Al Faris finds invaluable.
“Thanks to these exceptional characteristics, our GR-800EX will quite literally pay for itself very quickly,” Pinto said. After all, the company has already decided on the crane’s future range of uses and will be using it for a variety of infrastructure projects.
The Al Faris group claim that it has a long history tying it to the crane manufacturer.
It has bought 149 cranes from Tadano since it was founded, with 29 of them being purchased in the last few years alone.
