Tenacity Cranes Opts for TIDD
Santino Silvestro, Director of Tenacity Cranes explains the decision behind the purchase.
“We conducted our due diligence and looked at the different pick and carry brands. We looked at the Humma, the TIDD, and obviously Franna. The reason we started leaning towards the TIDD was as a result of their manufacturing processes. Everything takes place under the one roof in Hamilton, raw steel goes in one door and rolling stock, including the TIDD, exits the other,” he said.
“We are aware that with other brands, the components are manufactured in China and the cranes are then assembled in Australia. I was concerned that the build quality may not be as good as the older model we have and that’s why we started looking at the TIDD. I hadn’t operated one, so I called TRT Australia, and they gave us one to put through its paces, which we did.”
“The TIDD has been performing well. It’s different to a Franna and it took a while for the operators to get used to driving and operating the crane, but once they got used to it, we found that they preferred it, and now my guys love it.”
