Roadcraft Crane & Plant Hire invests in SANY
Liverpool based Roadcraft Crane & Plant Hire Ltd, has taken delivery of its first SANY SAC600E 60T Mobile Crane.
The 60T 3 axle crane, which has gone straight to work on a project in Liverpool is equipped with a 50m 5 section boom providing class leading system length and powerful lifting capacities. The crane is powered by a Stage V MTU diesel engine and is mated to an Allison 4500sp automatic transmission with torque converter. Stopping power is provided with all axle disc brakes mounted on Kessler axles and with a Telma retarder mounted on the 3rd axle. The crane is self-contained carrying 13t cwt with the UKs STGO Regulations for axle loads up to 16.5 tonne.
Colin Parkinson, Operations Director for Roadcraft Cranes commented, “There are many reasons why we have chosen to invest in SANY as opposed to other suppliers, but the key ones were that the quality of the cranes is equal to other manufacturers, the cranes have strong charts and lifting performance and SANY has a presence in the UK and ROI as well as the rest of Europe. I expect that in the future we will see SANY gain market share in Europe and will have a strong presence in the Mobile Crane Market”.
Andrew Snow, Country Manager UK & ROI said “We are delighted that Colin has placed his trust in SANY with the order for this crane and we are looking forward to working with him going forward. SANY has strong brand recognition in many parts of the world and the European market is starting to realise what we have to offer. With a growing number of products being made available for our market our offer will go from strength to strength.”
