UK based lifting related services company MJR Crane Services has taken delivery of its first spider crane, a three tonne Hoeflon C6 hybrid, complete with a dedicated two axle trailer.
The C6 - purchased through Hoeflon UK, part of the Crowland Cranes group - has a five section 9.5 metre main boom topped by a three section 4.3 metre telescopic luffing jib for a maximum radius of up to 14.4 metres at which point it can handle 211kg, while the maximum tip height is 16.4 metres, at which it can handle 601kg. The jib can also luff around 15 degrees above the horizontal main boom. The C6 has an overall stowed width of 750mm but once on site the non-marking rubber tracks can extend to just over a metre. The overall length is just over three metres, with a height of 1.77 metres. Total weight is 2,850kg with all options included. As a result, it is possible to transport it on a two axle equipment trailer, one of which was supplied with the new crane.

MJR managing director Matt Robson said: “Thank you to the team at Hoeflon UK for welcoming us into the world of spider cranes. It was a great to meet the team and purchasing the C6 is hopefully the first of many.”
