Indian heavy lifting crane and rental provider ABG Cranes has recently launched a brand new factory in Mumbai to produce its own brand of crawler and dockside heavy lifting cranes.
The first heavy lifting crane to roll off the production line is the eighty tonne, 1080 hydraulic crane.
According to ABG Cranes managing director Gopal Datt Dobhal, the company designed and developed the crane itself. It offers a thirteen – fifty-eight metre lattice boom and a nine – eighteen metre fixed jib system.
Two units had been manufactured at the facility, which has the ability to produce one hundred crane units per year, up to 250 tonnes capacity. It is predicted that ten units of the eighty tonne 1080 crawler system will be constructed by March 2010.
Huge ship to shore heavy lifting cranes and rubber tyre gantries will also be produced in the factory in the not so distant future. The consumer market will then be approached for the potential mass production of the larger models.
ABG Industries, the parent company believe the 1080 heavy lifting unit should be in the market to challenge Chinese comparisons and also claim the unit will rival those manufactured in the West.
