Mercedes Actros 4144 - Erling Andersen
The company Erling Andersen from Randers (DK) owns this nice Actros 4144 8x4 tractor.

Here the tractor is equiped with a demountable flatbed, it is used here to transport some pallets with roof tiles.

Behind the half-long cab stands a Fassi 1300, the 3rd unit that was built.

The crane has got a pallet fork here, it is being used to lift a new set of roof tiles...

...and bring them to the roof. The truck was painted in the nice colors of the Andersen company.

The crane is a Fassi F1300AXP.28, a crane that extends 8x hydraulically to 19,65 meter. It can lift nearly 3,7 tonnes at that distance. The 6x hydraulically extendig jib also has 2 manual parts, resulting in a total outreach of 35,2 meter.

In between it also lifted some other material from the roof to the ground, like this pile of wood.

Here we clearly see how the boom bends, the result of the stronger steels that are used nowadays. This allows the use of thinner steel plates.

Nice crane truck!
