The Two Friends
Cranes, Rentis Transport

Our company was founded in 1975 by KOUROUKECHAGIA NIKOLAOS and ANTALOPOULOS KREONTA, with the distinctive title "CRANES THE TWO FRIENDS, NIKOS-KREON".

It was then that they decided to partner and create this business, after working for many years as drivers, at the VENIZELO' crane office, one of the oldest in Athens.

So they bought the first BONFIGLIOLI P26000 parrot crane that came to Greece from Kilakos and a MERCEDES 2224 and they started. Later, a VOLVO N88 with a BONFIGLIOLI P18000 crane and a VOLVO N86 M.E. with a PESCI crane were added.

Being true friends from the beginning to the end, as mentioned in the distinctive title, they worked successfully for several years, doing many difficult jobs and having cooperation with many important companies at that time, such as MICHANEX, VASIMEX, KYLAKOS, ILIOPOULOS BROS, PANTAZOPOULOS BROS etc.

Many important drivers and operators also worked in our office, who helped us to acquire the know-how we have today and contributed their utmost to our office gaining the reputation of being able to undertake and carry out even the most difficult jobs safely and responsibly. Several of them later opened their own crane office and we continue to be friends and partners with them to this day. In 1992, at the age of 49 due to a stroke, Nikolaos Kouroukehagias passed away and his eldest son, then 23 years old, Georgios Kouroukehagias, took his place.

With the unwavering support of Kreondas Antalopoulos and the help of the office's then leaders, especially Vasilios Konstantaras, as well as the encouragement and support of all our office's clients, he managed to replace him worthily in 2-3 years. In 2000, as soon as they were discharged from the army, the two younger twin sons of Nikolaos Kouroukehagias, then 20 years old, Aristides and Savvas Kouroukehagias, entered the business, who are now also able to undertake and carry out any job.

Our company currently employs 9 people and our main concern is to serve the customer, with safety, speed and consistency. Our vehicles have all the necessary measures required by law for safe traffic and safe handling as well as certificates of suitability, while we ourselves are equipped with operator diplomas. For any information, transportation or work you want to do, do not hesitate to contact us and if necessary we will visit the site, so as to suggest the most ideal way to carry it out.

We look forward to your communication and hope to be worthy of your expectations.

With friendly greetings
 

George, Aristides & Savvas Kouroukechagias & Antalopoulos Kreon
