Famabud crane

[erkkil 1]

This crane is here recently painted and serviced. Owner was a building company Auttila Oy, here the crane was no more used in building sites. It was used here in the company´s "Lagerplatz".

We called the crane "Polimex", because this name was printed on it. Actually the company Polimex was not manufacturing cranes, but exporting them to western (?) countries.

We never knew anything about "Famabud". This website ("Bauforum24.biz") opened our eyes.

Well, as the tower has a triangular cross section, could this be a small Kroll ?

I think, I've seen that cran already in the thread about eastern-european and russian cranes.. I'm sure, "czimbuli" knows more about that subject!

Yes, I have seen Famabuds here in bauforum24, and this is definitely the same model.
Kröll has, indeed, a triangular mast in their smaller cranes, but the tower top is always different. This arch-shaped construction supporting jib ties is a unique feature of Famabud ("Polimex").

I'm sure that it's not a Kroll may be a crane from the eastern countrys. I hope that our friend Czimbuli will wake up. bearbeitet 23. Februar 2007 von blackcorner
