en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK crane rental company City Lifting announced in June 2026 the purchase of a six-axle Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift self-erecting mobile tower crane. With a maximum lifting capacity of 10 tonnes, a 60-meter jib, and a maximum lifting height of 64.2 meters, this is the first large-scale lifting equipment in the company's fleet capable of 100% zero-emission operation.
Founded in 1981, City Lifting is headquartered in Purfleet, Essex, east of London. The company currently operates approximately 62 mobile cranes, 20 mini crawler cranes and spider cranes, and around 154 tower cranes. As a well-known crane rental service provider in the London area, City Lifting's fleet of Spierings mobile cranes, with their iconic red and white livery, are a common sight in UK city centers.

Headquartered in Oss, Netherlands, Spierings is a global specialist manufacturer of mobile tower cranes. The SK1265-AT6 eLift is one of the world's largest mobile tower cranes produced by the company. This model features a six-axle chassis design with a curb weight of approximately 72 tonnes. In terms of performance, the crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 10 tonnes within a radius of 13 meters, a tip load of 1,700 kg at the end of the 60-meter jib, and a maximum lifting height of 64.2 meters when the jib is at a 30-degree angle. Equipped with Spierings' eLift all-electric drive system, it can be powered directly via a 16-amp or 32-amp industrial socket, achieving zero emissions on the job site. Its self-erecting design allows the entire machine to be set up and ready for operation in approximately 11 minutes, making it particularly suitable for construction environments with limited space, such as city centers.

The introduction of the SK1265-AT6 eLift crane represents a significant step for City Lifting in the large-scale zero-emission lifting equipment sector. The addition of this equipment will further enhance City Lifting's service capabilities for large urban construction projects in London and the Southeast of England, while also providing the UK construction industry with a new equipment option to reduce construction carbon emissions.
