The new continuous rotation range of cranes in the 38-45 tonne metre capacity range is perfect for machinery removal. All these cranes feature Fassi Evolution technology. The model on display at the show will be the F425AXP.

HMF UK is showing the new 1244-Z will be on display for the very first time in the UK. According to the company the new model is the very latest in a long line of incredibly tough-but-reliable truck mounted loaders, representing the latest in design and materials technology. The 1244-Z is quick and easy to set up and has an 8.3 metre hydraulic reach and a total weight of 1850kg. Visitors to the stand can see the new crane in operation and try it for themselves. Also on the HMF stand will be trailers with seven different loaders.

Cormach Cranes is bringing a new 34-ton metre lorry loader crane, it will be the first time this crane has been seen at a UK show. Also on the stand will be a 4-ton metre crane along with a 50 and a 65-ton metre model.

On GGR-UNIC’s stand will be the new UNIC 706 mini crawler crane. With 6t x 3m capacity and a self-stowing fly jib, the crane is now the highest capacity crane in the UNIC range. It is also showing the Paus-built Skyworker self-erecting trailer crane. The 1.2t capacity Skyworker has been developed for restricted access lifting applications. Its 2.10m wide trailer chassis is self-powered for easy manoeuvrability when separated from the towing vehicle. The self-erecting aluminium boom and 9m fly jib provide a working height of 30m and working radius of 25m. Radio remote control and a 360º slewing circle allow flexible handling on site.

Dunham Cranes will be exhibiting a new model of self-erecting tower crane by FB gru. The new GA136 features a new 36m jib. The crane folds to a transport height of only 3m when on wheels with a higher ground clearance, which make loading/unloading and transportation simple.

The main crane on the Mantis stand will be the Mantis TC25 self-erecting crane. The crane is a self-contained unit that can be towed as a trailer at road speeds so it arrives on site in a single vehicle journey ready to be erected.
