New crane truck joins growing fleet

Machine moving and
rigging specialist Lovemore
Bros has added a new 80tm
crane truck to its growing
f leet.
Like all the company’s
crane trucks, the new unit
has a narrow footprint and
can fit into tight, restricted
spaces with low head room.
The crane is butt -mounted
to its subframe which is how
the low height is achieved
The specially engineered
unit is a first for Lovemore
Bros with its tridem rear
axles on air suspension. “A
lot of effort and care has
gone into this new crane
truck and it has taken six
months to build,” said Rob
Lovemore. “It has a beast of
a lift and turns on a tickey,”
he added.
A second unit with the
same specifications is on
order and will be ready for
action by the end of the year,
according to Lovemore.
“All Lovemore Bros crane
trucks are self-contained
rigging entities – crew,
truck, crane and trailer.
They are equipped with
extra stabilisers and
built-in tool boxes packed
with the rigging gear to
undertake any task. A red
seal certified rigger leads
an experienced crew that
operates the whole rig –
and of course every crane
truck can pull a 10-metre
trailer of 20-ton capacity,”
he said.
