Danish Defence deal for Lissner

Danish equipment dealer Lissner has signed a four year agreement with the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (FMI) to supply 10 tonne Unic URW-1006 spider cranes.

The URW-1006 can lift its maximum capacity at a three metre radius and offers a maximum tip height of more than 30 metres when fitted with jib and can work at up to a 24.3 metre radius. It can also pick & carry up to 1.5 tonnes. The first unit will be used for the education of military staff and maintenance, with “a large number of cranes due be delivered in the next few months”.

The tender documents specified that as well as lifting capacity and radius, the crucial feature of the spider crane was to be able to cope with the extreme weather conditions that they are likely to be exposed to when used for the repair and maintenance of military equipment, as well as being able to remain stable during transportation on flat racks with rough landings and heavy seas.

Unic Cranes Europe chief executive Graeme Riley added: “It is a real accomplishment for us at Unic cranes to have our machines successfully make the grade with the Danish Ministry of Defence. We have been working with Lissner and DALO on this opportunity for over three years.”
