UK landscaping materials manufacturer Marshalls has ordered 108 Hiab loader cranes for its fleet in a deal worth £4.25 million.

The order consists of 11.3 tonne/metre X-HiDuo 138 B-2 loader cranes and 9.3 tonne/metre X-HiPro 099R roll loaders.

Marshalls logistics director, Nigel Basey, said: “Having set a fleet replacement strategy for the next five years, it was important that Marshalls undertook a thorough review of all its equipment, including its cranes, which are integral to the delivery service level offered to our customers. Following an appraisal of the market, which involved trialling up to date crane models and seeking the important feedback from our drivers, Hiab was chosen as the crane supplier to Marshalls. We were particularly impressed with the added benefits of the HiConnect system as well as the high service levels already received on the existing Hiab fleet.”
