A-Lift Expands Fleet Of Mobile Cranes

UK crane rental company A-Lift Crane Hire Ltd is proud to announce that they have taken delivery of a new 70 tonne Tadano ATF 70G-4 All Terrain crane. The four axle ATF 70G-4 has a 52.1 metre main boom and is capable for example, of handling up to 5.8 tonnes at an 18 metre radius at this boom length. The pinned boom allows a longer working radii with a maximum working radius of 44 metres. This is a very versatile machine with four outrigger mode settings from 2.4m to 6.4m, so setting up in tight areas is no problem, as its all wheel steering, along with driving on three axles, mean it will get into most areas. The crane also travels with all of its 16.5 tonnes of counterweight, so does not require separate haulage. Furthermore, it has been equipped with the "lift adjuster" system which automatically jibs the crane back while the operator is hoisting up, which takes the deflection out of the boom allowing a smoother operation and a dead centre lift every time.
