As mentioned before we have published the new issue of the International Crane Rentals Directory this week. Our first step after having finished the books, is always to prepare all the pre-orders which we have received before the publishing date. One of the orders was directly from lower Manhattan, the heart of New Yorks Financial District.
For a short moment I thought about the idea to deliver this order personally … 
On Wednesday the new equipment guides for AmQuip Crane Rental LLC were picked up at our printing store. Next week the books are going to be shipped from Bremen to Philadelphia. Specifications for more than 90 (!) different mobile cranes from the 8,5 US-tons carry deck up to the 825-US-tons Manitowoc 18000 crawler crane are included. With 770 pages this is the most comprehensive book we have yet prepared for a US-customer.
This week we have published the new issue of the International Crane Rentals Directory, the most comprehensive directory of crane hire companies all over the world.
The eighth issue contains address data and additional information for more than 6000 crane rental companies in more than 80 countries. The PDF-file is sorted into three sections by name, location and ZIP-Code. Within these sections the addresses are sorted by country first.
For those of you who don’t know this book yet, we have added some sample pages for download on our website. The International Crane Rentals Directory is available as CD-ROM.
Again we have updated our list of CAD drawings for mobile cranes. New available are now sideview and topview for:
In preparation and available on short term are CAD-files for the telescopic crane AC 1000/9 from Terex-Demag.
This week we received the final printing approval for the new crane guide of US-based crane rental company AmQuip. By the end of the week we are going to start the preparation of the printing data. The equipment guide contains dimensions and load charts for their current fleet of all terrain cranes, hydraulic truck cranes, boom trucks, carry decks, rough terrain cranes, crawler cranes and tower cranes.
Amquip Crane Rental was just named the third biggest crane rental company in the US according to the current ACT100, the US-listing of crane rental companies published from KHL. The leader of the list is Maxim Crane Works followed by All Erection & Crane Rental Corp.
By the end of this week we have added the CAD topview and sideview for the LTM 1400-7.1 from Liebherr to our stocklist. As usual the drawings for the telescopic crane can be delivered as DWG or DXF. Drawings for further mobile cranes are in progress.
Today we have started into the final stage for the preparation of this years issue of the International Crane Rentals Directory. Our current task is to check the big pile of entry forms the worldwide crane hire companies have refaxed us with their amendments and to update our crane hire database. The new issue – no. 8 – will be available approximately in the end of July.
Last week we received a new order for the making of a crane equipment guide. We obtained the crane list and information for transport vehicles as well as information for additional equipment by email. Our new client is a group of crane hire companies located in the northern part of germany.
The order comprises the setup and printing of a spec book for several mobile cranes and heavy haulage equipment in DIN A6 pocketbook size. In the first step we are now going to prepare a layout-proposal for the content pages.
This week we have prepared for printing the new crane guides for Nordic Crane Group from Sweden and Norway. On Monday the final approvals where made so that the printing machines can now be started to produce these books. With a printing volume of nearly 3.5 million pages this is the biggest single order in the 15 years of our company history. In June the equipment guides will be delivered as DIN A6 pocketbook and DIN A4 ringbinder.
Already with the first approvals of the single cranes we have delivered the load-charts for the mobile cranes as PDF-files. They are now available for download from the companies webpage. Some more PDF-files will be delivered in the next week.
Nordic Crane Group is a merger of the scandinavian crane hire companies Stangeland and Kynningsrud. Also part of the group are several smaller crane hire companies from Norway and Sweden. All together they have around 30 locations with an impressive fleet of telescopic cranes up to 500 tons, lattice boom cranes up to 750 tons, crawler cranes up to 600 tons, special harbour cranes and heavy haulage equipment.
More current projects:
We are awaiting the printing approval for the new crane guides of Amquip and Bay Crane from the US on short term. Already delivered in the last weeks were the updated and reprinted equipment handbooks for Cologne based crane hire company HKV, for Schares from Bocholt and a DIN A4 Ringbinder and CD-ROM for Van der Tol in Utrecht.
In the week before Bauma I had the pleasure to go for a short trip to my beloved Ireland for a customers visit. We have already offered the making of an equipment handbook in the end of last year and now it was time to discuss all the details for the content and the layout. Thereby we have another big and international operating crane hire company on our reference list for crane guides.
Only short time after the CAD-drawings for the Terex-Demag AC 500-2 are ready for delivery, we have also finished the CAD crane drawings for its counterpart, the LTM 1500-8.1 from Liebherr. Both the sideview and the topview for the telescopic crane are available as DXF-file and DWG-file. You can get a single file for 65 Euro, the complete package (side- and topview) for the crane is gettable for 125 Euro.
The next crane in preparation to be available as CAD crane drawing soon is the new mobile crane LTM 1350-6.1 from Liebherr.
