First Kato CR-130Rv for Marsden

UK rental company Marsden Crane Hire has taken delivery of the first 13 tonne Kato CR-130Rv city type All Terrain crane to arrive in the UK. The unit was purchased through the Kato distributor, Rivertek.

The crane was updated in December last year and features a six section 24 metre boom topped by a 3.6 to 5.5 metre hydraulic luffing jib, offsettable by 60 degrees for a maximum tip height of just less than 32 metres. A three tonne searcher hook is also standard equipment.

The crane’s overall length on the road is just under 7.5 metres, with an overall width of 1.99 metres and overall height of 2.87 metres. Total weight is only 13.83 tonnes, split roughly evenly between the two axles.
