Welcome to the Strong's Crane E-Newsletter

ABOUT OUR NEW 250 TON ALL TERRAIN

Strong's Crane Service has recently taken delivery of a new 2009 Link Belt ATC-3250 All Terrain Hydraulic Crane. This 250 Ton machine comes with up to 156,000 pounds of counterweight and maximum 223' of main power boom. With the 122' jib the total boom reaches 345'. This crane has several different charts depending on the counterweight configuration needed for your lift. This allows us to save the customer money by only using the counterweights needed for the job. This saves money on mob and demob by saving truck loads when less counterweights are used. We have also come up with several different rates when using less counterweights by downsizing the machine to a 200 ton or 165 ton capacity. This machine has strong lifting charts when compared to other manufacturers machines in the same lifting class.
