Royal crane from GGR

UK based spider crane specialist GGR has launched a limited edition mini crane in celebration of this month’s Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The crane is painted in the Union flag design and was developed especially for use during the royal occasion says GGR after it was approached to assist with lifting operations during the event. The compact Unic 245 crane will be used to install crowd control barriers and audio-visual displays around Westminster Abbey on the week leading up to the big day.

The special edition crane

GGR chief executive Graeme Riley said: “We’ve received massive interest for this special edition Royal Wedding crane, surprisingly from a number of overseas customers too. We are thrilled to be contributing to William & Kate’s big day”.

The Unic 245 is only 600mm wide and was an ideal solution to work around the restricted space and features flexible outriggers that can enable the machine to lift on uneven surfaces such as the grass, paving and stepped access areas around Westminster.

The machine provides a safe working load of 2.4 tonnes and the special edition paintwork is all-weather proof.
