Franna, the Australian manufacturer of pick and carry cranes, has launched the AT44 US, its latest and most powerful model for the North America market. Featuring patented safety technologies that aim to transform operator interaction with the crane, Franna says the AT44 US is designed to enhance awareness and control while providing excellent power and mobility. The AT44 US is the largest pick and carry crane in the Franna product range, specifically designed for higher capacity lifting applications. This enables the operator better decision-making in understanding the rated capacity of the crane for the next planned move. Kevin Aabel, Business Development Manager for Franna North America said, “Roughly half of the population of mobile cranes in Australia are Frannas, any brand any capacity, and the first Franna 4WD8 machine built in 1978 is still in operation today.
