Second 1040 for Thanet

UK rental company Thanet Crane Hire (TCH) has taken delivery of its second 40 tonne Liebherr LTM 1040 2.1 All Terrain crane, three years after the first on arrived.

The two axle LTM 1040-2.1 has a four section 35 metre main boom which can handle 7.4 tonnes at full height or 1.1 tonnes at a maximum radius of 31 metres. Features include a Stage V engine, Liebherr’s VarioBase outrigger set up system and the company's remote control unit which provides operation for all superstructure functions.

Managing director Linton Stickings said: “As well as the Eco mode feature which can reduce fuel consumption by 10 percent, this crane is compatible with renewable HVO biofuel. We want to encourage local companies to consider the environment when choosing a crane supplier, and we are pleased to offer the latest, greenest technology.”

Based in Kent, Thanet Crane Hire was founded in 2008 and offers crane rental, haulage services, traffic management and auxiliary equipment rental.
