New delivery vehicle with crane
We have just taken delivery of a new delivery vehicle, a Mercedes Benz 3245 Arocs, fitted with a Palfinger PK 63002 EH crane. The Mercedes Benz truck complies with the Euro VI standard and as such meet all current regulations and is amongst the cleanest and greenest trucks available. The Palfinger crane is one of the highest-specification lorry cranes available.
It has a maximum lifting capacity of 22 tonnes and a maximum hydraulic reach of 20.4 metres – though, as with all cranes, the lifting capacity is diminished as the reach increases. Initially, we plan to use the new vehicle to deliver and collect our own equipment. It will be busy delivering concrete placing booms, static concrete pumps and, of course, concrete pump pipeline. If we find we have spare capacity for this vehicle, we will consider doing external work; probably, at first, assisting our existing customers with their deliveries.
