1. Tower crane restores Le Panthéon
Renovation specialist company, based in France, is using a T 178 tower crane to help with a
restoration project on the historical Le Panthéon in Paris.
Part of the restoration project is to restore the dome of the Le Panthéon building, which dates
from around 1790. It was originally a church and is now a national monument.
Work for the 8 tonne capacityT 178 includes lifting general construction material and stone. To
protect the building from further damage during the restoration work, the tower crane has been
mounted on a 300 tonne metal frame that surrounds the tall dome of the building, a company
spokesperson said. Using the frame the 50 ton crane can work at the required height without
being anchored to the building. It has been configured with a height under hook of 100 metres
and a 55 m jib.
Commenting on the planning of the project, Jean-Claude Guiter, key accounts director at
Manitowoc, said, “The tower crane brings fluidity to the project. A crane would have to make r
lifts, less regularly. That takes more planning and increases the risk of damaging this famous
building. The T 178 only lifts materials as and when required. It offers complete coverage of the
site without any risk. It’s the perfect solution.”
The T 178 was supplied by tower crane rental company Arcomet, based in France. Ludovic
Delcourt, president of Arcomet, said, “This iconic building’s restoration must be faultless and
cranes have a long history of impeccable quality and performance.
“The crane also features excellent strength when working in a free-standing configuration,
complemented by a small footprint, which is crucial at this cramped job site. Adding to the
crane’s capabilities is the responsive team at Manitowoc pillar jib cranes Care who help out
whenever needed. We are proud to be a part of this historic restoration.”
The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2014.
Big First Quarter Continues with Large Kobelco Buy
It ook delivery of a CK2750G crawler crane, one of 25 new crawler cranes has purchased from
Kobelco in 2014. The occasion marked the largest number of crawler cranes ever sold by Kobelco
North America to one dealer in a quarter.
The CK2750G, the largest crawler in the CK-G series, is a marvel of engineering and a true
example of a future looking crane. Almost everything about the CK-G line has been redesigned

2. and engineered for efficiency, control, power, and safety. The crane features a nested boom that
makes the crane easier to transport. Because it has a smaller footprint than typical cranes of its
size, it is the most maneuverable 40 ton crane in its class.
The signature feature of the CK-G series is that everything about it has been engineered to help
conserve energy. Its winch allows for maximum speed even at low idle, saving energy. Its
exclusive Auto Idle Stop (AIS) feature stops the engine when the crane is stopped, which lowers
emissions. And of course, the new Tier IV clean diesel engine, which includes a new
energy-saving assist system called the “G Mode,” reducing fuel consumption by 30%.
“ has been a very good dealer for us in the Western U.S. and Pacific Northwest,” said Jack
Fendrick, President of Kobelco Cranes North America. “They have gotten really good at retailing
new cranes and they have a lot invested in parts and servicing Kobelco crawler cranes.” The new
Kobelco cranes are spread between ’s locations in Texas, Los Angeles and the S.F. Bay Area, and
are available for sale and rent.
