1994

In 1994, MHE-Demag is appointed to supply cranes and Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) to the Kuala Lumpur Tower (Menara KL). Located at the height of 335 meter, the crane with a custom-made Demag winch is the crane with the highest lifting height ever sold by MHE-Demag. It is used for lifting material and components, such as antenna discs, from ground to roof level. Another crane with a Demag DH hoist is primarily used for antenna installations. The crane is capable of rotating 360 degrees around the tower.

A custom-made BMU is installed to clean the tower shaft and the base of the tower head. The unit is mainly used for aircraft warning light replacement and is capable of rotating 360 degrees around the tower. Another BMU is used for glass cleaning and maintenance for the lights around the tower head. It is probably the most ‘romantic machine’ we ever sold as it has also been used for wedding ceremonies in the past, where the newlyweds could enjoy the magnificent view from the basket of this BMU.
