- Contract signed with Belgian specialist E-Crane, provider of products and services to hydraulic cranes
- Strong local presence of E-Crane offers highest flexible and responsive service of wind cranes
- Long expertise in manufacturing and servicing hydraulic cranes guarantees professional on-site service for PALFINGER WIND cranes
Beginning of November PALFINGER MARINE and E-Crane signed a service contract for PALFINGER WIND cranes. E-Crane, a heavy equipment design and construction company, is based in Belgium and will cover operation and maintenance and at a later date also installation and commissioning.
Expertise, strong customer focus and responsive on-site support
E-Crane has long market experience in manufacturing hydraulic cranes and can offer well skilled service engineers and high expertise in servicing PALFINGER WIND cranes. Since E-Crane is based in Belgium and close to several offshore wind parks, fast and flexible response can be guaranteed. Bad weather as uncertainty factor can be reduced due to the short distance between E-Crane’s location and the coast. “The combination of professionalism and expertise, a stable market position with long-term customer partnerships and the location was the reason to choose E-Crane as our new service partner. Their philosophy to only deliver best available service to a competitive price matches PALFINGER MARINE’s philosophy very well”, says Martin Zauner, Head of Business Unit Wind.
