This is the last unit in the company’s 2022 order, but it has already placed an order for 2023 deliveries which includes a 110 tonne five axle LTM 1110-5.1, 70 tonne four axle LTM 1070-4.2, a 55 tonne three axle LTM 1055-3.2 and two LTM 1040-2.1 two axle All Terrains.

Kelvin Prince of Southern Cranes & Access said: “As the company who took delivery of the UK’s first crane with VarioBase, the UK’s first LTM1090-4.2, the UK’s first MK88 and MK140 tower cranes, it made perfect sense for us to showcase the first 90 metre boomed six axle machine in the UK.”
