UK's FJ Crane Hire Receives Liebherr 90-Tonne All-Terrain Crane

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, UK crane rental company FJ Crane Hire took delivery of an LTM 1090-4.2 all-terrain crane manufactured by Germany's Liebherr, marking the company's first purchase of a new Liebherr mobile crane. The machine has a rated maximum lifting capacity of 90 tonnes and features a four-axle chassis, a 60-metre telescopic main boom and a 9.5 to 16-metre folding jib, with a maximum lifting height of 76 metres and a maximum working radius of 62 metres. It has been delivered to the company to expand its lifting equipment fleet.

The LTM 1090-4.2 delivered on this occasion features a seven-section telescopic main boom and is equipped with a double-folding swing-away jib. The machine is fitted with Liebherr's VarioBase variable support system, allowing each outrigger to be extended independently according to the space available on site, while an adjustable counterweight slewing radius adapts to different lifting conditions.

The crane is equipped with a counterweight system totalling 22.5 tonnes. Under the UK's Special Types General Order (STGO) regulations, the machine can travel on public roads carrying the full 22.5 tonnes of counterweight. It also features Liebherr's ECOmode and ECOdrive control systems, which optimise fuel consumption and noise performance during crane operation and road travel respectively.

FJ Crane Hire is headquartered in Saxilby, Lincolnshire, UK, and was founded in 2020 by Phil Framp and Sammie Framp, initially operating with a single Grove crane. Since then, the company has acquired a number of used all-terrain cranes and truck cranes, and the LTM 1090-4.2 delivered on this occasion is its first new Liebherr crane.
