The cranes will be used for a wide range of maintenance and support applications across PEMEX's national operations. The cranes will all be delivered before the end of this year.

Rafael Llamas managing director of Cargotec Mexico, which sold the cranes, said: "The longstanding relationship between PEMEX and Cargotec goes back more than 20 years, and these latest 80 cranes join an existing fleet in excess of 500 Hiab cranes. The cranes were selected because of the quality of the Hiab equipment and the levels of service on offer from Cargotec."
