Kato for Simmons

UK industrial lifting company Simmons Industrial Services has taken delivery of a 13 tonne Kato CR-130Rf city type All Terrain crane.

The CR-130Rf features a 24 metre, six section boom with a two stage, 3.6 to 5.5 metre, hydraulic luffing jib. Sold and delivered by Kato's European distributor, Rivertek Services, the new crane will replace a Kato CR100 which has been in the Simmons fleet for more than 20 years.

Company owner, Gary Simmons, said: “The quality and versatility of our CR100 is really impressive and we operated the CR100 in our fleet from new for over 20 years. This made our decision to purchase Kato again very easy and we look forward to taking advantage of all the latest features on this new model CR-130Rf.”
