MC285 Installing Glass Panels
Euroglas Delandtsheer hired the mini crane from Heli, Maeda’s Belgian distributor, to work on the glass panels in front of the business seats in the stadium.
6 panels in the stadium needed to be removed and replaced at the end of the football season due to balls hitting the glass during games.
The only entrance to the glass panels was through the staircases in the stands. Gunther Van Den Hove of Heli said “It was a tricky job because of the staircases and the confined working area, but once again the Maeda Mini Crawler Cranes have proven their worth in glass handling. The first day we were there to give training to the people of Euroglas. Although they had experience of cranes, they had never worked with a Maeda Mini Crane before. Now they have seen the abilities and lifting capacities of the mini cranes they are convinced the product will help with more jobs in the future.”
Kurt De Landtsheer of Euroglas said “This machine is just perfect for this kind of job. A lot of other companies came to see the job but we were the only ones who knew it could be completed as we knew about the capabilities of the Maeda Mini Crane. Together with Heli we decided the MC285 was the perfect machine for the job. These machines are so powerful and smooth in operation that not even stairs gets in their way. We completed the job in 1 day which even we didn’t think would be possible.”
The MC285 is the most popular machine in Maeda’s Mini Crane range. With a massive 2.82 ton lifting capacity at 8.7m yet measuring only 750mm wide when stowed the possibilities for this machine are endless.
