Magni Delivers its 167-Foot Telehandler RTH 6.51 to First U.S. Company
Magni America recently delivered the first RTH 6.51 in the United States to Adams European Contracting in New York City. The RTH 6.51 is the highest lifting rotating telehandler in the world, with a maximum lifting height of 167 feet. The 6.51 offers a maximum lifting capacity of 13,200-pounds and reach of 113 feet. With the purchase of the RTH 6.51, Adams European Contracting now owns six Magni Rotating Telehandlers.
Adams European Contracting is currently using its RTH 6.51 for the maintenance and restoration of school P.S. 333 in Manhattan. Limited space on this jobsite made it almost impossible for Adams to bring in a crane, making the Magni, with its tight footprint, and 167-foot lift height, the best solution for the job.
Magni spoke with Angelo Curto, the Director of Operations for Adams European Contracting.
“We chose Magni was because there is no other competitor out there that can get to these heights and lifting capacities,” said Angelo Curto, director of operations for Adams European Contracting. “Overall it saves me a lot of money.”
Adams European Contractor specializes in exterior renovation work for public agencies in New York City.
