The collaboration features children's character Gekko from Moonbug's educational content, demonstrating how a 250 tonne Grove All Terrain operates. The educational video demonstrates key operational aspects of modern crane technology, including the seven section telescopic boom, the deployment of outriggers, joystick controls, as well as drigin it to different job sites and setting up.
Operations director Paul Conneely said: "We did this collaboration a while back, but we haven't really talked about it in the way that we should. This partnership represents exactly what we're about as a business – using our expertise and resources to give back to the community and inspire the next generation about the construction industry. We plan to expand educational outreach with school presentations scheduled across Merseyside and Manchester in the new school term. These presentations will bring construction equipment knowledge directly into classrooms."
Established in 1990, family run John Sutch Cranes is based in Liverpool with a second location in Manchester. The company employs 86 and runs a fleet 38 of All Terrain cranes, truck cranes and self-erecting mobile tower cranes with the largest in the fleet being a 450 tonne Liebherr.
