THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Narrow streets characterize the inner city of the Danish capital Copenhagen. Often the access is very limited, especially when it comes to building renovation and construction. Obstacles such as street lighting and transmission lines only add to the challenge.
BMS Copenhagen is specialized in mobile tower cranes, combining the flexibility of the mobile crane with the reach of the tower crane. This type of crane is especially ideal when it comes to installation of facades and window sections, for instance on the famous pedestrian street ‘Strøget’ in downtown Copenhagen.
By putting the tower crane – often described as the crane of cranes – on wheels, you literally combine the best of both worlds. Not least in areas with limited space the mobile tower crane will outdo most alternatives. The cranes can be operated by remote control, allowing the crane operators to be quite close to the load or stand on a location particularly suitable for solving the specific task.
BMS Copenhagen’s mobile tower cranes can be operational in just 25 minutes after arriving at the scene, partly because they do not require extra parts on support vehicles.

The undercarriage is very flexible, as it can turn on all wheels. This means that it can get around even in very dense urban areas – and the crane can be unfolded in very limited space. Due to easy transport, express installation and great flexibility mobile tower cranes are very affordable compared to standard mobile cranes.
The BMS Copenhagen fleet includes Spierings AT4 and AT6 hydraulic folding cranes. The AT4 is the fourth generation of hydraulic mobile tower cranes with four axles. The four-part jib provides a 48-metre radius. The maximum lifting height is 27.8 metres with the jib in horizontal position, and 58.1 metres with the jib at a 45-degree angle. It can lift its maximum load of 7,000 kg without using the additional ballast blocks. As for the six-axled AT6 it is the largest mobile tower crane in the world. It has a 5th extendible jib section – combined with the four other jib sections, this delivers an unrivalled radius of 60 metres.
