Four new cranes for Sutch

UK rental company John Sutch Cranes has invested £3.7 million in new cranes, including a six axle Spierings SK1265-AT6 mobile self-erecting tower crane, a 250 tonne Demag AC250-6 All Terrain, a 300 tonne LTM1300-6.2 All Terrain and a 70 tonne Tadano HK70 truck mounted crane.

The company says that it is looking to consolidate its presence in North West England across all sectors including the construction, civil engineering and oil and gas industries. The investment is also part of a programme to maintain a low average age in the fleet with no crane being over five years old.

Managing director Hayley Sutch said: “The Spierings cranes are consistently in high demand and is probably the most popular choice due to their flexible and versatile nature lifting up to 1.7 tonnes and with a maximum radius of 60 metres. Adding these to our fleet ties in with our wider growth strategy across all sectors. We are committed to operating a fleet where no one machine is older than five years. This is incredibly important to us, ensuring we are consistently up to date with the latest technological advances affecting key areas such as health and safety. Whilst we invest in our fleet we continue to offload older models to sustain this approach.”

“The new 250 tonne Terex crane and 300 tonne Liebherr crane supports the firm growth in the heavy cranes sector. We are driving forward our presence in the heavy crane sector and following our purchase last yeast of a 350 tonne machine, are keen to add further weight to our fleet. These two additions will undoubtedly help consolidate our position in this sector and allow us to continue to penetrate this market.”

“The 70 tonne Tadano, a truck mounted vehicle, forms the final piece in the purchase programme, providing greater flexibility for travelling whilst also complementing the existing 45 tonne truck. Throughout our 40 years in business, we have grown to become one of the leading firms of our kind and the North West and have built a strong reputation in terms of fleet, service delivery and personnel. We recognise that we must make strides forward in terms of investment if we are to sustain our market leading position, whist enjoying continued expansion.”
