Based in Arndell Park west of Sydney, Stephensons Cranes has been serving the crane hire industry since 1992. Having already purchased 4 cranes from James Equipment in the past, it was an easy decision for Stephensons Cranes when it came time to add another model to their crane hire line-up. As a part of their specialist customising process, James Equipment painted the Tadano crane in the Stephensons Cranes’ company colours of yellow and purple.

“Their service has been outstanding and the availability of select Tadano crane models was a big plus for us when it came time to update our fleet”, said Steve Gauci, Director of Stephensons Cranes.

Over the last 15 years Stephensons Cranes have used a range of crane brands such as Liebherr, Kato, P&H and Tadano. Their experience with Tadano in the past, along with the solid reputation of Tadano worldwide, made the hydraulic truck model the ideal choice.

Highly manoeuvrable, solidly constructed and boasting a long list of standard features, Stephensons Cranes’ recent purchase is a Tadano TL300E.

“Put simply, it’s just a great compact crane and perfect for the type of construction most of our city-based clients develop,” said Steve Gauci.

Ideally suited to the hire market, the Tadano TL300E weighs in at 30 tonnes with the truck carrier capable of speeds up to 74kph thanks to the 202KW direct injection, turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel engine. The TL300E crane features a 4-section boom extending from 10.5 to 33 metres and can be elevated from -3° to +80° in just 70 seconds.

Stephensons Cranes believe their Tadano TL300E will be a valuable asset to their thriving crane hire business. If the Australian crane industry continues its steady growth, there is no doubt that Stephensons Cranes will again call upon the specialist team at James Equipment for their next addition.

James Equipment is the exclusive Australian distributor of the award winning range of new Tadano Cranes. Establishing a solid reputation over 15 years, James Equipment has a broad knowledge base of crane engineering and a large network of international suppliers to draw upon. Serving the crane industry right across Australia, Melbourne-based James Equipment has an excellent range of used cranes in stock from international manufacturers including Demag, Kato, Liebherr, and Kobelco.
