Concrane Sales Inc. has been named the exclusive distributor in Ontario, Canada for ENG CRANES’ range of luffing jib cranes, flat-top hammerhead cranes and derricks.

Based in Reggio Emilia in northern Italy and with a branch in San Francisco, California, ENG CRANES has been designing and manufacturing their line of tower cranes, winches as well as custom solutions since 1981. With luffers ranging from 8-20 ton and flat-top hammerheads ranging from 4-40 ton, ENG CRANES have equipment erected all over Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America, including British Columbia and Nova Scotia, Canada. The first ETL253 20 ton luffer and EDKH185 25 ton derrick are set to be erected in Toronto, Ontario in Fall 2020.

“I’ve been working with Ricky for over 20 years,” explained Massimo De Lazzero, Export Manager of ENG CRANES. “With his experience and the relationship I have built with him and now his grandson Daniel (Wright), it just made sense for Concrane Sales to represent ENG CRANES in Ontario, Canada.” De Lazzero continued, “We took the time to understand the challenges the Ontario construction market is currently facing through the guidance of Ricky and Daniel, as well as our own experience. We’re confident we have developed the right equipment to tackle the harsh weather conditions and long working hours typical to jobsites in Ontario.”

“ENG CRANES is a manufacturer that really listens and reacts in a timely manner,” explained Ricky Redigonda, President of Concrane Sales. “We worked with ENG CRANES’ designers and engineers to assist in developing standards for any crane coming to Ontario—whether it’s a luffer or a hammerhead. The cranes must be able to move fast and be powerful enough for our high-rise buildings. They must also be able to withstand our winter weather and, most importantly, the cranes must be safe. ENG CRANES have taken all of our recommendations and have developed equipment we’re really excited to have in Toronto.” Redigonda added, “And you can trust that the crane you order from ENG CRANES is the crane that you’re going to get and that it will arrive on time.”

Some of the improvements and features of the ENG CRANES lineup include:

• 110KW hoist winch with large hoist drum (takes 3,600 linear feet of hoist cable)
• luffing speed 1.5min
• upgraded hoist and boom gear boxes
• load cell with double channel and double inclinometer on the A-frame and heel section of the boom as opposed to the tip for safety
• emergency brake installed on the boom (optional on the hoist)
• automatic lubrication system installed for the turntable bearing
• all-in-one large, climate-controlled cabin with all electrical panels included for easier maintenance and communication from operator and technician
• ABB Electronics drives (can be locally sourced)
• Schneider logic control and contactors (can be locally sourced)
• software available with remote programming
• crane arrives prepared for CSA inspection
• winterized electrical components
• crane can accommodate HA20 and HD23 tower sections (can be designed to accommodate other tower sections upon request)
• galvanized catwalk, ladder, platforms and railings around the counter jib
• structures are sandblasted and coated with an antirust zinc base followed by an additional coat of paint
• custom upgrades can be accommodated upon request
• includes 24-month warranty from the day of loading

“One thing in particular customers really appreciate about ENG CRANES is that they know they are buying with confidence,” explained Daniel Wright of Concrane Sales. “Not only are the cranes backed by a two-year warranty, they arrive with spare parts. So, in the unlikely event that a part needs to be replaced, you will have it on hand rather than waiting for the manufacturer to send it, resulting in less downtime.”

ENG CRANES’ equipment can be ordered complete with a climbing system and 6m tower sections or just the top of the crane can be purchased. An optional 3m tower section can be ordered for special jobs. The climbing system has been redesigned and simplified with all the mechanics incorporated in the first tower, resulting in a faster climb and less spare parts. The crane can still work while being prepared for climbing. An optional small transition section can be ordered to be used under the turntable from HA20 to the HD23 tower sections. New ENG CRANES projects currently in the works include a 36 ton and a 42 ton luffer set to be released later this year. For more information on ENG CRANES, visit engcranes.com.
