Gulliver's orders more loader cranes

Gullivers's truck hire has ordered a further 30 loader cranes from Terex Atlas. The UK based truck and van contract hire specialist that operates more than 2,500 vehicles will take delivery of the 118.2/A15 VGL units in the first quarter of 2008.

When delivered, it will take its fleet up to 120 cranes.

The 11.8 tonne/metre, double telescopic units will have an 8.2 metre outreach and will be fitted with double platforms and catwalks. They will join the 30, 118.2 VGL single telescopic cranes supplied in 2006.

“For this next order we wanted a longer outreach to cater for a wider variety of applications. The original cranes were very reliable so we had no hesitation in continuing our long standing commitment to Terex Atlas,” said Gulliver's managing director, Philippe Harding:

Gulliver’s national business development manager, Jon Siviter said: “We have always recognised and appreciated the quality of the Terex Atlas product, together with the effectiveness of its after-sales service. It was therefore a natural and logical choice.”

First introduced in 2006, the B4 stress-rated crane has been designed specifically for the utilities and civil engineering sectors looking for speed and flexibility. The machines offer the standard slew-lift-jib-extend-rotate-grab sequence favoured by users in these sectors.
