RRC’s new AC 300-6

Managing director Ian Cross said: “Since adding our first specialised crane in early 2013, we’ve worked hard to build an impeccable reputation for network rail infrastructure. From the very beginning, we knew the company would be successful if we employed highly trained operators and equipped them with quality and innovative equipment. The Demag AC 300-6 All Terrain crane exemplifies those standards and will be a great addition as we continue to grow as a company.”

“There are so many cost and time saving features incorporated into the design of this crane. We know it will get a lot of use and yield a high return on investment.”
