German crane rental company Steil Kranarbeiten has taken delivery of four new Tadano All Terrain cranes, continuing its investment in fleet modernisation and operational capability.
The delivery includes two 80 tonne AC 4.080-1 cranes, one 220 tonne AC 5.220-1, and one 220 tonne AC 5.220L-1, providing a mix of compact and higher-capacity lifting solutions.

The Tadano AC 5.220-1 will be primarily utilised for wind energy applications, a key sector for Steil’s operations across Europe.
With its higher lifting capacity, the AC 5.220-1 is suited to handling components and maintenance work within the growing renewable energy market.

“Steil is a highly valued customer with whom we work closely. They consistently provide us with valuable feedback.”
