Flexible telescopic crane - a lack of space in Berlin promotes creativity

Nowhere in Germany is there as much construction as in the capital city of Berlin; at least that is the way it seems to an observer gazing around the city on the Spree River. Living and construction space is more in demand than ever, which is also true in the Prenzlauer Berg district. Around 140,000 people live in this collection of old buildings over eleven square kilometers, and no other area has undergone as much change as this East Berlin district since the fall of the wall. In the middle of all this, a green mobile telescopic crane is in operation.

Along Kastanienallee, which is popularly known as "Casting Alley", countless renovated old buildings and new buildings have changed the existing landscape in recent years. Every meter needs to be utilized, and this calls for creativity. For Alexander Kuleshov, the CEO of Cocon Wohnbau GmbH based in Königswusterhausen, this above all means providing flexible solutions. Currently Cocon is building a block of apartments in a rear courtyard in Kastanienallee. All of the materials must be moved in very confined spaces. The solution to the space problem was finally provided by the SENNEBOGEN sales and service partner and construction equipment dealer Gebr. Willing. And therefore driver Tino Trappe has been between the house rows with his SENNEBOGEN 613 Mobile since October 2014 and ensures that formwork, bricks and roof beams are moved to where they are needed for the building construction.
