Essex-based Cadman Cranes has added a Hoeflon C10 spider crane to its fleet. Cadman’s diverse fleet includes a wide range of mobile cranes and a unique selection of spider cranes and compact crawler cranes, as well as specialist lifting and grab equipment, but this is the first time that the company has invested in the Hoeflon brand.
With a maximum lifting capacity of 4.0te, the Hoeflon C10 has a maximum 21m vertical reach with a SWL of 750kg, and a maximum radius of 19.8m with a SWL of 209kg. Nevertheless the machine weighs only 5t and is narrow enough to fit through doorways, making it ideal for getting into tight spaces and manoeuvring in difficult locations, both internally and externally. The Hoeflon C10 also has hydraulically extendable and retractable tracks, meaning that it can access narrow and hard to reach areas.
Cadman has become renowned as a sustainable crane hire business, setting the gold standard in the industry and winning sustainability awards for its practices, including The Carbon Neutrality Award at the Anglian Water Supplier Awards. It aims to become the most sustainable mobile crane hire business in the UK. Tapping into Cadman Crane’s outstanding environmental credentials the Hoeflon has a hybrid engine which runs on HVO – the company runs its entire fleet solely on sustainable HVO fuel. It can also be operated on a direct feed 400V 3 phase power supply, which is ideal for working indoors with no emissions.
“This powerful new crane will enhance our ability to tackle challenging lifting projects in confined spaces, while also supporting our ongoing commitment to sustainability,” says Matt Waddingham, managing director of Cadman Cranes. “The Hoeflon C10 is an exciting addition to our fleet, offering both versatility and environmental benefits, aligning perfectly with our mission to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations. We are delighted to bring this state-of-the-art crane to our clients ensuring that we can meet their lifting needs with minimal environmental impact.”
