NEW TO THE FLEET

Introducing our new 70T Hydraulic Crawler!
Perfect for large sites, steel er****on or as a service crane for piling rigs. The versatility, ease of mob/demob, low ground bearing pressures, compact footprint and the ability to pick and carry a load make these crawlers a sort after machine for many clients.
This crawler has landed in our depot, had its livery applied and been sent straight out to work here in Townsville at the RAAF Base.

If you have any enquiries about this crane, please reach out!
