Why choose our 28t Tidd (Franna type) crane?


Our 28t crane hire is ideal for lifting equipment and machinery off trucks and placing them exactly where you need. The 28t Tidd (Franna-type) crane is known for its outstanding flexibility, manouevrability, and heavy-lift capability. Despite being the same size as a 20t Franna, the Tidd crane is more manouevrable and can outlift a 25t Franna. Its removable counterweight and optional super lift counterweight significantly enhance its lifting capacity, making it a superior choice for heavy-duty tasks. With no lengthy setup required, the crane operator and dogman can get straight to work upon arriving at your site, ensuring your heavy lifts are completed quickly and efficiently with no hassle on your part.
