Kuwait-based Integrated Logistics Company has taken delivery of 31 Terex cranes, including a new Demag CC3800-1 crawler crane, 20 Terex AC 100/4L all-terrain cranes and 10 Terex Explorer 5600 all-terrain cranes, in a major expansion of its fleet.
The largest machine – the 650-tonne CC3800-1 lattice boom crawler crane – is the first of its kind in the region, and has a maximum load moment of 8.484 metre tonnes and a super-lift structure for even greater lifting capabilities.
“We selected the CC3800-1 because of its ability to outperform larger 750-tonne class cranes in many applications,” said Saleh Al Huwaidi, CEO of Integrated Logistics Company.
The new cranes join a fleet of more than 2,000 machines and be used by Integrated throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region – predominantly in oil and gas applications.
The AC100/4L and Explorer 5600 all-terrain cranes in particular are being deployed throughout Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, where Integrated has several ongoing projects that require the mobility and lift capacities of these Terex units.
“These mobile cranes have proven to be a versatility option for our crews with their extremely long booms,” continued Al Huwaidi.
“Our operators also like the IC-1 Plus control system equipped on these machines, which gives them access to real-time calculations to improve the machine’s performance at higher capacity ranges.”
Integrated’s existing crane line-up also includes two recently purchased 1200-tonne, Terex AC 1000-9 all-terrain cranes, which were also the first mobile cranes of this lifting capacity in the region.
Huwaidi added that Integrated is driven “by the relentless pursuit being the best logistics provider in the region”, and that as part of this the company has invested in more than 200 Terex and Demag cranes since 2005, “because the machines are built well, and Terex is responsive to our needs”.
