Trinity House technical services manager Robert Dale said: “Due to the uniqueness of our demands we are very grateful to Crowland Cranes in assisting the selection and purchasing of this crane. Despite having a slightly larger footprint than our old crane, the RT765E-2 offers greater lifting capacity and more importantly enhanced safety features ensuring our operations are conducted using the highest standards of equipment available.”
