Are you as lucky as Kevin Pirker; do you also spend every day with your loved one?

In the quiet city of St. Gallen, located in the heart of Austria, there is a unique partnership built on strength, precision and unwavering reliability. The partnership consists of skilled crane operator Kevin Pirker and his faithful mechanical companion: HMF 3220 K6 with FJ600 K3.

 

Pirker had always been fascinated by heavy machinery, but his journey began in earnest when he acquired his first truck crane in 2015. From there it quickly took off, and in 2017 he upgraded to a new truck equipped with an HMF 1720 K5 - a decision that would prove to shape his career going forward.

 

The fact that he ended up with an HMF crane was mostly coincidence - or fate, if you will. But from the moment he started operating it, he immediately saw its potential. The crane became an extension of himself, navigating through rough terrain, responding with exceptional precision and lifting what seemed impossible for others. Together, the pair quickly became known throughout the region for their indomitable approach to any task.

 

In 2024, Pirker acquired an HMF 3220 K6 + FJ600 K3 + 2 manual extensions. Although new equipment takes some getting used to, the 3220 quickly won the crane operator's heart - after all, the two spend more than 1500 hours together every year. Today, he describes the crane as a mix between a loyal best friend and a true love that overcomes even the biggest challenges with immense strength and agility. It's more than just a machine - it's a loyal companion.

 

Side by side, Kevin Pirker and the HMF 3220 take each other to new heights every day.
