The Tadano HK 4.050-1, rated at 50 tonnes capacity, has a 35.2-metre, four-section boom with a 9.3-metre swingaway jib that takes the maximum tip height to almost 48 metres. The crane is mounted on a Volvo FH 500 truck chassis and can travel on public roads with its full 8.5-tonne of counterweight on board.
John Sutch, owner of the crane hire business, said: “Our investment in the Tadano HK 4.050-1 is a testament to our ongoing pursuit of excellence and our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our clients.
“We believe in staying ahead through innovation, and this cutting-edge crane will empower us to provide even more efficient and reliable lifting solutions. It’s an addition to our fleet that I can’t wait to see in operation. I’m delighted that it’s here and ready for sites across the country.â€
The Tadano is the second new crane to join the Sutch fleet within the past few weeks. It joins a new Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1, a 450-tonne capacity, eight-axle telescopic machine with an 85-metre boom and maximum lift height of 132 metres.
