Zoomlion to UK

After a very successful trial period, Crowland Cranes has confirmed its order for the first 10 units of the 32 tonne Zoom Lion 30V truck mounted crane.

The first batch of five cranes is currently in production and will arrive in the UK in late September for preparation and delivery before year end. The following five will arrive later in the year for delivery in January.

Crowland Cranes has had one unit out on hire for three months on a wide variety of applications and have so far not experienced any down time.

Peter Issitt of Crowland Cranes told Vertikal.Net that the plan was to build up sales at a steady pace and anticipated to be able to offer a consistent four month delivery once regular shipments were rolling.

The company is currently investing in a new replacement parts inventory to ensure that the company can provide customers with a strong product support.

The 30V is rated with 32 tonnes at three metres radius, lifts 30 tonnes to 3.5 metres, 16 tonnes to seven metres and will take a tonne out to 28 metres.
The 34 metre full power main boom can be extended with an eight metre fly jib.

All of the first 10 units are pre-sold.
