Kuwait-based equipment rental and logistics service provider Jassim Transport & Stevedoring Company (JTC) said it has put a brand new Demag CC 3800-1 lattice boom crawler crane, manufactured by Terex Corporation, into service.

A global manufacturer of lifting and material processing products and services, Terex Corporation delivers lifecycle solutions that maximise customer return on investment. Besides Demag, the Terex brand family includes Terex, Genie and Powerscreen.

The crane was handed over by Terex Cranes Senior Sales Manager Joerg Mueller to JTC Chief Executive Officer Adel Kohari at a key ceremony held in Kuwait.

"The CC 3800-1 enhances JTC’s lifting capabilities over our Demag CC 2200, and this will put us in a position to meet the needs of our customers in the oil and gas industries even better in the future," remarked Kohari.

JTC, he stated, was an important player in the equipment leasing, transportation, and logistics industries in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Through its ports management, contract logistics, equipment leasing, and power rental divisions, the company provides professional, high-quality, cost-effective leasing and logistics services both to the public and private sectors, stated Kohari.

"The CC 3800-1 was put to work immediately after delivery and passed its first test with flying colours involved in successful lift operation of a heat exchanger as part of a large-scale oil and gas project," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
