Hoeflon spider for Cadman

UK rental company Cadman Cranes has taken delivery of a four tonne C10 tracked spider crane. The deal was finalised with former Hoeflon distributor Foster Cranes prior to relinquishing its distribution agreement. As of July, Hoeflon appointed Crowland Cranes as its UK distributor, trading as Hoeflon UK-Crowland following its split from Foster Cranes in February after five years working together.

The C10 features a five section 16.3 metre main boom plus a three section hydraulic jib to offer a maximum tip height of 21.3 metres and a radius of 19 metres, at which it can handle 209kg. Overall weight is 4.7 tonnes with the jib on board, while the overall width is just 800mm and overall length 4.15 metres. Features include 360 degrees slew, radio remote controls and non marking tracks which extend from 800mm to 1.1 metres. Total weight is 4,700kg.

The C10 features a Yanmar diesel with HVO fuel capability, which is in line with Cadman’s stated goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2025. The company began transitioning its fleet to HVO fuel in 2020 and completed the process by the end of last year.

The company says it is ‘Aiming to become the most sustainable crane business in the UK’ which involves installing solar panels at its headquarters and beginning an EV car scheme.

Managing director of Cadman Cranes Matt Waddingham said: “This powerful new crane will enhance our ability to tackle challenging lifting projects in confined spaces, while also supporting our ongoing commitment to sustainability. The Hoeflon C10 is an exciting addition to our fleet, offering both versatility and environmental benefits, aligning perfectly with our mission to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations. We are delighted to bring this state of the art crane to our clients, ensuring that we can meet their lifting needs with minimal environmental impact.”
