Lift Minicranes took delivery of the first MC815C Maeda Mini Crane in the UK last week. The 8t capacity crane strengthens its existing Maeda fleet.

The crane, ordered in custom livery, was supplied with the 1000kg Searcher Hook and 1500kg SWL hydraulic 2-section fly jib increasing maximum lifting height to 25.5m.
