The five-axle mobile crane can travel carrying 27t of ballast and has a 60m live jib and 17m fly jib. AB2000 already operates a fleet of nine mobile cranes, with a further two cranes, a 100t model and a 200t model, due to be delivered to the firm this year.

“The purchase of this crane shows our continuing high standard of commitment to all sectors of the civil, mechanical, construction and mining industries,” said AB2000 managing director Adam Bruce. “Also this crane, the largest in our current fleet, will further compliment our established contract lift and machinery installation business allowing us to better serve our existing customers and expand to new areas.”
