From the versatile 35t Kato City range and our Liebherr LTC compact crane, these models are ideally designed to accommodate the more challenging locations. From there we move upwards in capacity to cranes ranging from 55t to 130t mobile cranes. All of these models boast the latest manufacturers design features.

Under the CPA crane hire terms and conditions for hiring of plant the customer has the responsibility of planning a safe lifting operation.
