kscarbel2 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Scania Group Press Release / February 3, 2016Singapore is the world’s third most densely populated country. Land is scarce and building activity consequently reaches higher and higher. Since traditional stationary cranes would block roads and congest traffic builders are increasingly making use of mobile knuckle-boom cranes.The Singapore firm Hong Fa is specialised in these cranes – all mounted on Scania trucks. “In Singapore, places are getting more and more confined,” says Managing Director Ong Wei Yeng, Hong Fa. “Knuckle-booms take up less space and have better maneuverability than conventional mobile cranes.”The four-axle Scania G 480 with its Fassi F1950 crane is one of the largest in Singapore. This Scania has a reinforced chassis, heavy duty hub reduction drive axles and nine tonne (20,000lb) front axles with a total gross vehicle weight of 48 tonnes (106,000lb).Related information (Fassi F1950 crane) - http://www.fassi.com/fassi-loader-crane/heavy-duty/f1950ra-he-dynamic.html Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43880-scaling-the-heights-in-singapore/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
