Tower crane manufacturer Linden Comansa will join hands with partner Sodetram to launch its new 5LC5010 crane at the upcoming Batimatec expo in Algiers.

Algiers 'Pins Maritimes' Expo Centre will play host to the leading players in the construction and machinery sectors from May 3 to 7 at the event.

The 5LC5010 model, with flat-top design and belonging to the smallest Series of Linden Comansa, meets all the requirements of the Algerian market, said a statement from the Spanish manufacturer.

It has a maximum load capacity of 5 tonnes; maximum jib length of between 20 and 50 m; Jib-end load up to 1,000 kilos, or 1.100 using the PowerLift system, which is standard; freestanding height of more than 50 metres.

Through this expo, Sodetram and Linden Comansa aim to not only showcase its mini Linden Comansa cranes, but also other models and series that have very good demand in Algeria and neighbouring countries.

Sodetram, based in Marseille, France, and its subsidiary in Algiers, Sodetram Algérie, have been working in the Algerian market for 25 years, offering a wide range of machinery and equipment for all type of construction projects.

Since 2013, Sodetram and Linden Comansa have been jointly exporting cranes mainly to the countries of the Maghreb region in North Africa.

Sodetram had been recently awarded a contract to provide Algerian public contractor Engoa with five Linden Comansa 16LC260 tower cranes for the construction of the Tabellout viaduct.

By the end of the project, these cranes will reach a height under hook of 130 metres, which will make them the tallest in Algeria.-TradeArabia News Service
