Brilliant crane which is well looked after. I could get used to working with the bigger stuff     Cheers

A few Pictures from this week taken on my new phone, with slightly better photo quality. One of the GMK 4100Ls, to be joined this month by our 4th 4100.  One of our Böcker AK 44/4000 PLC cranes.  This is our first Böcker, the second was delivered last week and the 3rd is on order.  Lifting AHU Units with the GMK 3055

Thanks Wayne. Just a banksman at the minute, get to jump in every now and again and have a play. If things go to plan I should be behind the levers before the end of the year
