30 new Manitowoc crawler cranes have been ordered by the Hong Kong construction equipment sales and rental company Tower Mark.
The cranes, a combination of Manitowoc 8500-1, 11000-1 and 12000-1 crawler cranes, will work on civil and residential projects across the region. Deliveries will be spread over the course of 2013.
Mark Simpson, director of Tower Mark, said he appreciated Manitowoc’s strive for improvement and the strong regional support that backs up their crane sales. “We are impressed by the evolving functionality, reliability and innovative design of Manitowoc cranes,” he said.
“We are very pleased with the level of Manitowoc Crane Care service and spare parts support that we get locally and from the regional head office in Singapore. We are grateful for the comprehensive and effective training programs provided by Manitowoc Crane Care and their importance in training our service team.”
Tower Mark’s fleet is dispersed through Hong Kong, working on various construction projects, which often include rail and bridge building jobs. Typically, cranes spend four to six months on a site.
One of the company’s new Manitowoc 8500-1 crawlers is working for contracting joint venture Leighton Gammon JV on a high-speed rail terminus for trains traveling to China.
Elsewhere, an 11000-1 crawler crane is working for Bachy Soletanche to help build a train station as part of the Shatin to Central Rail Link project.
