Ainscough Heavy Cranes operations director Andrew Winter said: “Both cranes are popular with customers and the operators who use them, the applications are very diverse, we are pleased to add more capacity to already the best maintained and diverse crane fleet in the country. It was therefore the right time to make new investments in the fleet and add to what is the only true national crane fleet in the country.”
