The crane is mounted on a 26 tonne MAN chassis with steerable rear axle to add to the unit’s manoeuvrability.

Chris Ashworth of Eastern Crane Hire said: “We proudly took delivery of our first Bocker AK 46/6000 in September 2021, it soon became apparent that another was required to keep up with demand. The truck crane has strengthened our fleet massively and we are thrilled to have another of its kind. With its ability to work in tight spaces, enclosed roof coverings and most importantly more economical is a huge benefit. It is the perfect addition to our growing fleet of modern mobile cranes. This crane has a special dedication to our two children, the future of Eastern Crane Hire.”
