Demag Introduces AC 80-4 All-Terrain Crane →
Demag already had an 88 ton (80-t) crane at one point: The AC 80-2.

Grove GMK5250L's Easy Mobility Delivers Precise Lifts at Peruvian Mine →
A Grove GMK5250L all-terrain crane, configured with 300 ft. (91 m) of boom, lifted and placed metal structures that together will form the roof of a machinery warehouse at a mining facility in the Peruvian Andes.

Benchmark on Seven Axles: New Demag AC 450-7 All Terrain Crane →
Setting new standards on seven axles — certainly not a humble goal for the engineers at Tadano Demag when they started their work on the new AC 450-7 all terrain crane. And this work was richly rewarded, as their goal was fully met and the crane manufacturer from Zweibrücken, Germany now offers a new seven-axle machine. The basic idea when developing the new AC 450-7 was both simple and demanding: Tadano Demag wanted to "give wheels" to a more powerful alternative to its existing six-axle cranes, with the objective to keep it as compact as its counterparts despite the additional axle, all while combining that with significantly better performance.

Norline AG Chooses Demag AC 160-5 All Terrain Crane →
Quality, performance and cost-effectiveness — those are Norline AG's basic principles and the reason why the company decided on a Demag AC 160-5 when acquiring a new all terrain crane. More specifically, the 223 ft.
