400 new Atlas cranes for Jewson

UK based building materials supplier, Jewson, has placed one of the largest single orders ever for new Loader cranes, agreeing to purchase 400 Terex-Atlas 120.2E/A2 cranes for delivery over the next three years.

At least half of the 12 metre/tonne cranes will be delivered over the next 12 months.

All of the cranes will include remote controls and when all 400 units are in service it will take the Terex-Atlas share of the Jewson fleet up to 80 percent.

Jewson is part of the St Gobain building distribution group, Europe’s largest building materials supplier.

Lee Maynard, general sales manager at Terex-Atlas Said: “We are thrilled, on this occasion, to have been chosen as the sole supplier of loader cranes to the Saint Gobain Group of Companies.”

“Our on-going investment in the latest crane technology, coupled with that in our customer support network, continues to pay dividends. This is a landmark order for the industry and one which reinforces our position as the UK’s leading supplier.”
