BMS is a large Danish crane rental company. Besides telescopic cranes they also own some transport equipment, including these 3 tractors with Palfinger P750 cranes.

This is a Mercedes Actros 4148 in 8x4 layout with a short cab. It is stationed in the Kolding subsidiary.

The Palfinger P750 (also PK 75000 E) is a crane with a lifting capacity of 71 ton/mtr. Here are some values:
6,0 mtr - 11,5 ton
9,5 mtr - 6,96 ton
18 mtr - 2,8 ton (manual part)
23 mtr - 1,4 ton (3rd manual part)

The truck is coupled to a 3-axled semi lowloader of Nooteboom.

The jib, that increases the outreach with 13,8 meters, wasn’t mounted here.

Another truck with crane at Kolding is this Volvo FM12 in 8x4 layout. It was built in 2000.

The quick connection at the exhaust pipe shows that the truck is prepared for work in buildings.

This crane had the PJ 154 jib connected. The jib can lift a maximum of 5 tons.

This tractor was also connected to a 3-axled semi lowloader of Nooteboom.

Storage compartments are made at many places on the chassis. They are filled with chains and other lifting equipment.

This tractor has additional outriggers at the front bumper.

Scania P124G-420

The BMS subsidiary at Odense has this Scania P124G-420 8x4 in their fleet.

The empty weight of these kind of crane trucks is about 25-26 tons. This results in a fifth wheel load of about 6 tons. Maximum tractor weight in Danmark is 32 tons, total vehicle weight can be 48 tons.

Here we also see a lot of lifting equipment lying around on the chassis.
