UK rental company Thanet Crane Hire (TCH) has taken delivery of its third 40 tonne LTM 1040-2.1 All Terrain crane, with a fourth on order. The company is also expecting a 60 tonne crane due to arrive later this year.
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 setup system and the company's remote control unit, which provides operation for all superstructure functions. The company ordered its first 40 tonner in 2022, and its second last year
The new crane arrives on site
Managing director Linton Stickings said: “We are continuing to develop greener technology for our customers, and this crane uses biodegradable hydraulic oil. This is particularly suitable for ongoing projects at the Port of Dover and other sensitive sites such as water treatment works. We aim to keep mileage and emissions to a minimum for our customers, and we want to encourage local companies to consider the environment when choosing a crane supplier.”
Based in Kent, Thanet Crane Hire was founded in 2008 and offers crane rental, haulage services, traffic management and auxiliary equipment rental.
