12th TaDano mobile crane at I&H
I&H Kran-Transport-Montage-Service has once again displayed its trust in TADANO by investing in its 12th TADANO crane – the 5-axle ATF 220G-5. The new look of the driver’s cab provides various new features and maximum comfort. Features include: a better panoramic view, ergonomic seats made by Recaro for an optimised seating position to prevent fatigue on long distances, and the multifunction touch display which is identical to that in the superstructure cab.
The TADANO crane is equipped with two engines made by Mercedes Benz (Euromot IV, EPA Tier 4f), featuring a power output of 390 kW (530 HP) for the carrier and 145 kW (197 HP) for the superstructure. In addition to reduced fuel consumption, the separate recording of the operating hours enables a clear indication of the amount of crane work and driving accomplished. The rugged boom has a mast length of 13.2 to 68 metres.
“At such working heights, we require an especially powerful boom for lifting operations. Especially important for us is the mechanical strength and the capability of moving the material by crane without the jib,” says Nils Lauman, member of the I&H management. Visit: www.tadanofaun.de

Geven signs contract with aTR for new passenger seats
World’s leading turboprop manufacturer ATR and the Italian producer of aircraft interiors Geven have signed a contract to equip the ATR600 series aircraft with brand new passenger seats. Named Neo Classic and Neo Prestige, they have been specifically designed for ATR by the Italian designer Giugiaro and are presented at this year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo, currently held in Hamburg, Germany.
This contract affirms ATR’s continuing tradition of ensuring the highest standard of onboard comfort by offering the widest intra-armrest space on the turboprop market: 18 inches for both the Neo Classic and Neo Prestige. In addition, the Neo Prestige can be reclined, has a larger tray table and a backrest which is two inches higher than the one of the Neo Classic.
Wider, more comfortable and easy to retrofit on ATR -600s and older ATR versions, the new seats also offer weight savings of up to 170 Kg. Additionally, thanks to an optimised use of space and cutting-edge design, it is now possible to offer two additional seats in some cabin layouts, while keeping the same operational weights, thereby profiting from the additional payload.
