First Tadano GR-1000EX-4 rough-terrain cranes in Singapore

Tadano Ltd and its distributor Multico have announced the delivery of two GR-1000EX-4 rough terrain cranes to LH Construction & Machinery Leasing Pte Ltd (Lian Hup Brothers Group of Companies) in Singapore.

Lian Hup Brothers Pte Ltd (LH) serves the construction and engineering industries with heavy equipment, large-scale machines, and trucks and other vehicles for building and transportation construction and maintenance. Reliable lifting equipment is an important part of the company’s robust fleet.

Alan Delon Chua, CEO of LH Construction & Machinery Leasing Pte Ltd, described the company’s past experiences with Tadano products, sales and service as “awesomely good.” He also noted that the performance of Tadano cranes has been “superior.”

So, when Mr Chua and his team at LH decided there was a need for a new crane for a particular construction project, they looked to Tadano. After examining the work and job site considerations, the team at LH went on to explore options in the rough-terrain crane category.

Lifting capacity and built-in safety functions were considered top priority with their decision. The GR-1000EX-4’s lifting capacity of 100 t fulfilled the lifting requirements, and Tadano’s reputation and record for safety is unmatched. The GR-1000EX-4 also features a 51 m boom – the longest in its class – and the gross vehicle weight of 55 t means easy transportability.

These features, coupled with the previous experiences LH has had with Tadano cranes, led the company to decide that the GR-1000EX-4 was the best model for its needs. LH worked with the sales and service team at Multico to arrange for purchase and delivery, which took place in early 2022.

Delivery of the GR-1000EX-4 from Tadano and Multico to Lian Hup Brothers was the first for this crane in the Singapore market, making it a significant milestone for this crane model as well as for all three companies involved in this transaction.

“I am incredibly pleased with the quality of both Tadano and the distributor Multico Equipment and Parts Pte Ltd sales and after-sales service provided to me. Well done!” said Mr Chua.

Multico Equipment and Parts Pte Ltd, founded in 1973, is Tadano’s distributor in the Singapore market and has provided sales and service to LH for many years. Having a Demag line of Tadano cranes, Multico offers all-terrain cranes, truck cranes, telescopic boom crawler cranes, lattice boom crawler cranes, and rough-terrain cranes.
