UK dealer for TeknoGru

Italian crane manufacturer TeknoGRC has appointed UK based Foster Crane & Equipment as its official dealer for the UK and Ireland.

Based in Bariano, east of Milan, TeknoGRC was established in 1981 by Giuseppe Corna, who died last year. The company began by assembling equipment for brands such as Hyco, Demag, and Soimi, and later produced truck cranes in partnership with Krupp. In the 1990s, GRC expanded its work to include aerial platforms and earthmoving equipment. By 2000, the company began supplying to Grove and was appointed dealer throughout the country.

In 2014, the company became TeknoGRC, when Silvio Corna, Giuseppe’s son, taking over. TeknoGRC then developed machinery for the railway sector and began producing railway platforms for Platform Basket.

More recently the company has begun supplying some of its cranes to Zoomlion on an own brand basis, such as the 40 tonne Zoomlion ATC 400C city crane.

In 2023, TeknoGRC introduced its own line of cranes and now offers three telescopic crawlers, from 30 to 45 tonnes, a 30 tonne lattice crawler and a 40 tonne two axle city type All Terrain crane, with larger models up to 65 tonnes due to be released soon.

Foster Cranes is based in Kidderminster and is the UK distributor for JMG pick & carry cranes, Jekko spider cranes and Aconda Tracked Carriers. It has also worked with Sany Cranes, in particularly its telescopic crawlers. A large part of its business comes from sales of used cranes.

Foster cranes managing director, Andrew Foster said: “I’m delighted to have secured the UK and Ireland dealership for TeknoGru. This long established manufacturing business just outside Bergamo in Italy makes a range of cranes, both conventional lattice boom and full telescopic. We’ll be debuting these cranes in the UK from mid 2026 onwards.”
