Eye in the Sky: A New Italian Ferris Wheel

by | Jun 17, 2026

A tight squeeze and a unique build requires double the effort—this time in the form of two cranes.

A job with zero margin for error requires the utmost attention to the tiniest details. That job was the assembly of a Ferris wheel in Italy. The challenges were significant: limited operating space, narrow access routes and logistical conditions that ruled out the use of a conventional mobile crane. Top Noleggio—one of the most dynamic rental companies in Italy, operating a fleet of over 500 units—rose to the challenge with two machines from its lifting fleet: the PM 100SP and the PM 150SP from the Tadano PM Series. The decisive features? Outreach and tip capacity—two defining strengths of the Tadano PM Series that turned a complex challenge into a successful operation. Their maneuverability and precise control significantly facilitated the positioning of the Ferris wheel components, making for a faster, safer, more efficient and successful completion.
