The reason why this was important was that the CTT 162-8 crane, which was just launched in mid-2015, offers a series of new features and enhancements in comparison to its predecessor. Accordingly, Terex Cranes refers to this model as a new crane generation:<\/p>\n<p>The CTT 162-8 crane is a flat top tower crane with an eight-tonne maximum-capacity winch. It rests on a 4.5-meter cruciform base, and its typical applications include not only residential and commercial construction, but also industrial and bridge construction, making it an extremely versatile all-rounder. \u201cWe ordered the crane with a 55-meter jib length configuration and erected it with a hook height of 34 meters for the project in Waldshut, which was necessary due to the site\u2019s hillside position,\u201d explains Martin K\u00e4ser, construction manager for company Schleith.<\/p>\n<p>The range of tasks that the tower crane takes care of at the work site is ranging from the material handling work that is typical of work sites and involves moving concrete, formwork, and iron to removing excavated material to moving mini excavators and other machinery. \u201cWith its maximum capacity of eight tonnes, the crane is so powerful that we don\u2019t need to use a mobile crane at all, which makes the CTT 162-8 extremely cost-effective. In fact, it\u2019s even able to lift large precast concrete components without a problem,\u201d points out Thomas Meier, general manager Meier Krantechnik.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CTT 162-8 tower crane is the real deal \u2013 the crane that can lift at the tip exactly what the specifications say,\u201d says J\u00f6rg K\u00f6rtgen, getting right to the point. As far as he is concerned, the CTT-162 crane represents a quantum leap in engineering \u2013 and he can prove it: When directly compared with its predecessor, the new machine offers at least 100 kilograms more of capacity along the entire length of the jib, and it also features a hoisting winch that is faster by a good thirty percent. In other words, the new crane makes it possible to lift a considerably higher number of loads per day. And that is only the beginning. The crane comes with a large series of upgrades. These include, for instance, a new cab, extremely weather-resistant stainless steel control panels, and a remote assistant service that enables the customer and Terex to run remote diagnostics worldwide, ensuring that when a customer runs into an issue, it will be fixed as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Terex CTT 161 tower crane had more than proven its worth during the first stage of new construction for the \u201cMatthias-Claudius-Haus\u201d nursing home in Waldshut, Germany, so Waldshut-Tiengen-based construction company Schleith insisted on the use of a Terex crane for the second stage of construction as well.
