Spierings has delivered two SK1265-AT6 eLift self-erecting mobile tower cranes to two crane rental companies in the UK: Davies Crane Hire and City Lifting.
The six axle SK1265-AT6 eLift has a maximum capacity of 10 tonnes at a radius of more than 13 metres, while the 60 metre jib has a 1,700kg jib tip capacity at a 35 metre horizontal jib height. Maximum lift height is 64.2 metres with the jib luffed to 30 degrees.

The eLift system allows the crane to plug into a wide range of mains power outlets ranging from 11 to 25 or 32Amp, with the available power passing through a Lithium-ion battery ‘PowerPack’ which absorbs the peaks in energy draw-down from the crane, allowing the connection to regular domestic outlets without sacrificing performance. When the power demand from the crane is low, the battery pack is recharged. The crane is also equipped with a small diesel engine which generates the electrical power when a mains outlet is not available.
City Lifting's new crane is handed over
Established in 1981, City Lifting is based in Essex on the East side of London, and runs a fleet of around 60 All Terrains, 20 mini crawlers and spider cranes and a fleet of around 150 tower cranes. This is City Lifting's secondSK1265-AT6 eLift in recent months, following on delivered in June.
