Empire Crane Company’s Luke Lonergan (R) spoke with Riccardo Magni, the inventor and founder of Magni telescopic handlers, at World of Concrete. Empire purchased two new 2018 Magni rotating telehandlers at World of Concrete in Las Vegas.

Empire Crane Company has purchased two new 2018 Magni rotating telehandlers at World of Concrete in Las Vegas. The two newest models, RTH6.30SH and RTH6.35SH, are going to be added to Empire's New England rental fleet and will be available immediately.

“People love the Magni units that we currently offer and can't say enough good things about the ease of use. My brother and I are confident that these machines will be extremely busy and will only begin to satisfy the craving for Magni telehandlers in New England,” Empire owner and CEO Luke Lonergan said.

The 2018 Magni RTH6.30SH has a lift capacity of 6.6 tons (6 t). Its max lift height is 97.9 ft. (30 m) where it can carry up to 5,500 lbs. (2,494 kg).

The 2018 Magni RTH6.35SH also has a lift capacity of 6.6 tons but a max lift height of 114.5 ft. (35 m). At that height, it also can carry a maximum of 5,500 lbs. Both models feature Magni's quick-fit design that allows for easy switching between attachments. This makes them multi-functional tools including aerial platforms and forklifts. They both have 4 cylinder engines, 360 degree continuous rotation and high tension steel booms, which greatly improves lifting performances.

“When speaking with Mr. Riccardo Magni himself, [the inventor and founder of Magni Telescopic Handlers] and other eastern United States Magni dealers, there are only high hopes and total confidence in the product” Lonergan said. “We expect the new higher capacity Magni telehandlers to be a real asset to our customers and to be a part of the construction boom that we all are hoping to see happen in 2018.”
