IN FOCUS / JYM JV AND TADANO
JOINT VENTURE TO BOOST HEAVY LIFTING CAPACITY FOR JOHNSON AND YOUNG CRANES AND MCKAY UNITED Johnson & Young Cranes along with McKay United have begun a joint venture centred around the crossover ownership of the only three Tadano CC2200s in Australia.
THE VICTORIAN COMPANIES NOTICED A gap in the market for these larger capacity machines and created the JYM brand. The joint venture also purchased two Tadano CC3800s with full SSL, boom boost, and split tray capabilities to allow JYM to focus on the heavy lift operations. The joint venture sees the two parent companies focusing on two separate markets. Johnson & Young Cranes is focusing on large civil infrastructure projects and McKay United is continuing to focus on refinery and port operations.
The crawler cranes allow the JYM team the capability to lift an impressive weight, far exceeding that of the all terrains. www.cranesandlifting.com.au
