Tristan King, commercial director at King Lifting, said: "We have been operating a SK599-AT5 for over the past 6 years which was inherited from the acquisition of ACE cranes. This has given us good experience of operating a crane of this type. The plan is to continue our investment into this type of machine in the forthcoming years."
Koos Spierings, sales engineer for Benelux & UK at Spierings Mobile Crane, said: "We are very proud to deliver King Lifting a brand new SK599-AT5. In 2014 Spierings delivered five new machines in the UK. For 2015 Spierings will deliver around 10 new cranes into the UK."
