CRANAGE AND HEAVY LIFTING
TEAMING UP FOR BAUMA
It will be the second time that both companies present their
products and services at a common space at the NewMunich
Trade Fair Centre, after the successful experience at the last
edition of Bauma.
According to AlbertoMunárriz, CEO of Linden Comansa,“exhibiting
with BKL in 2013 brought more business to both companies while
our partnership grew stronger, so teaming up again for 2016 was a
wise and easy decision”.
In 2016, Linden Comansa and BKL will share a total area of 784
m2, which is the largest space ever booked by any of both exhibitors.
Booth 1103/1, located in the open air area, will host some tower cranes
from Linden Comansa’s wide range. BKL will show a selection of its
products and crane related services in a welcoming atmosphere.
Five years of Spanish-German partnership
The co-operation of both companies started in 2011, when BKL bought
its first Linden Comansa tower cranes. The first package of four 21 LC
290 and two 11 LC 160 succeeded the field-test that focused on the
service and the spare parts supply, as well as on the cranes’ reliability,
which are key factors for BKL. According to the positive experience,
BKL invested in further cranes.
After Bauma 2013 the partnership grew stronger and BKL deployed
further investments in trainings and the expansion of the BKL spare
part depots. Recently the German crane specialist enlarged its crane
park by two 11 LC 90, two 11 LC 160 and two 16 LC 260. BKL’s sale
and rental fleet therefore includes now Linden Comansa cranes from
90 up to 750 metre-tonnes.
BKL Baukran Logistik GmbH is one of Europe’s largest crane
rental, sales and service companies with more than 350 tower cranes
and nearly 50 mobile cranes in its fleet. Headquartered in Munich,
BKL is represented by further branch offices in Ingolstadt, Frankfurt
and Hannover.
Tower crane manufacturer Linden Comansa
and German dealer BKL Baukran Logistik will
exhibit together at Bauma 2016, the world’s
largest and most important construction
machinery trade show, to be held in Munich,
Germany, from 11 – 17 April 2016.

technicians will ensure the reliable
performance of these machines
throughout the cranes life,” Van
Breda concludes.
CLOCKWISE:
The Potain MCT 385 is ideal for lifting heavy precast panels at increased
radii.
Although large as a tower crane, the individual components of the Potain
MCT 385 never exceed 10 t making erection and disassembly fall within the
parameters of normal mobile cranes.
Telescoping the Potain MCT 385 is made easier as the hook height can be
50 metres above the last anchor points.
The Potain MCT 385 is equipped with frequency controlled mechanisms for
hoisting, trolleying and slewing.
