Carried out with a crane rated at: 35T
Lifting 13 tonnes is a job for the smallest machines in our fleet. In practice a crane is almost never picked to the exact figure — weight is only half the equation, the other half is the distance you have to reach. That is why a 13-tonne load gets a 35-tonne machine: it gives the margin needed to work at radius and avoids having to set up right next to the load.
- Maximum reach in this class: 40m
- Maximum lifting height in this class: 46m
- Machines available in this class: 3
We do not operate a machine badged as 13 tonnes — we carry out such work with a crane rated at 35 tonnes. The spare capacity is not waste: capacity falls as the distance from the slewing axis grows, so a larger machine provides the margin needed to work at radius.
Every machine is hired together with an experienced operator.
