The five-axle GMK5250XL-1 features a 78.5-meter eight-section main boom and a 17.8-meter double-folding swing-away jib, which can be extended to 33.8 meters with additional inserts, achieving a maximum tip height of 109 meters.

The company now operates more than 50 cranes, supported by 80 employees. Last year, it acquired Ellis Crane Hire, a deal that positions it to become the UK's seventh-largest crane rental company.
