The full stick reaches 60 metres on this City Lifting unit

A unit destined for City lifting was being tested with the optional full reach of 60 metres, comprising the seven section 40 metre main booom, two stage extension plus six metre slide out extension.

Units are currently going through final inspection for Lee Lifting, City Lifting and Quigleys crane hire. The Quigley unit, the first of four, was closeted in the workshops where storage boxes and outrigger pad racks were being fitted.

The Lee Liftings unit ready to go

The units were originally scheduled for delivery late last year but some minor design issues delayed the units until Christmas was looming, so they are now destined for delivery later this week and should soon be seen out and about on UK roads.
