New Tadano for ADEKMA

French lifting specialist ADEKMA has expanded its fleet with the addition of a new Tadano AC 7.450-1 all terrain crane.

The 7-axle crane offers a maximum lifting capacity of 450 tonnes and will further strengthen the company’s heavy lift division, ADEKMAX, supporting its continued development in large-scale and technically demanding projects.

Founded in 2004, ADEKMA now operates 11 agencies across Western France and employs more than 300 people. The group manages a fleet of approximately 100 mobile cranes along with a comprehensive range of lifting, handling, and transport equipment. Through its dedicated heavy lift division ADEKMAX, the company delivers complex lifting solutions for industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects throughout the region.

The company ordered their new 450-tonner in a full-options configuration, including a luffing jib, the self-rigging Sideways Superlift (SSL) system, and the Surround View camera system. This comprehensive specification ensures high flexibility and efficiency across a wide range of complex lifting operations.

“For us, this investment is about reinforcing our ability to support customers on major projects,” explains Frédéric Blais, Founder and Managing Director of ADEKMA. “The AC 7.450-1 combines compact dimensions with strong lifting performance, which is particularly important for the demanding operations handled by our ADEKMAX division.”

The new crane will primarily be deployed for wind turbine maintenance, industrial installation and maintenance projects, and the dismantling of tower cranes at significant heights and long radii. These applications require high lifting capacities, extended reach, and maximum reliability, key factors in ADEKMA’s project approach.

With this latest investment, ADEKMA continues its strategy of regularly renewing and expanding its fleet to meet evolving market requirements while maintaining a high level of service and technical expertise.
