400 Ton Gantry

The 400 Ton gantry is hydraulically operated and is driven by a gas operated power pack. The Gantry system is ideal for very heavy machine moving and truck loading with an 8m + lift ability.

Crane Trucks

Our fleet of crane trucks include a fleet from 8 Ton to 40 Ton crane trucks for fast lifting and transport solutions. These are ideal on sites where items up to 40 Tons need to lifted and moved between points on the same site or across sites. These trucks are often used on pipe laying contracts to offload the trucks and lay the pipes into prepared trenches.

Lifting and transporting concrete road barriers and the servicing high light masts up to 35m are jobs suited to our vehicles.
