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.”

Trinity House is a charity dedicated to safeguarding shipping and seafarers, providing education, support and welfare to the seafaring community with a statutory duty as a General Lighthouse Authority to deliver a reliable, efficient and cost-effective aids to navigation service for the benefit and safety of all mariners.
