AGD Rental were the first crawlercrane hire company in the UK to have an all hydraulic fleet and have been offering fully hydraulic crawler cranes rental for 35 years.
We were also pioneers inoffering telescopic crawler cranes for hire. 30 years ago we launched the first machine in our fleet. Now we are established as the market leader with all the knowledge and experience we have gained over the years. We are continually investing heavily in new telescopic crawler cranes with the latest low-emission stage 4 and tier 5 engines.
Our range now covers 15 tons to 130 tons capacities with 12 separate models all with different features thus offering our customers the best possible choice. Most of them have tilting operators cabs to increase vision and virtual wall systems to facilitate safe working under bridges or next to railways and roads. A number of them have fly jibs. Some of them with the facility of up to 40 degrees offset. In combination with ourmini cranes we have over 60 units tomake us one of the largesthirer of telescopic crawler cranes in the UK.
There are major benefits with telescopic crawler cranes especially in restricted accessjobs as a rigging area is not required and the machine is ready for work almost immediately upon arrival on site. Check out the video below where a Sennebogen 643R 40 tons capacity telescopic crawler crane is servicing a Giken F201 silent piler on a site the size of a postage stamp. We alsooffer the facility to dismantle cranes to reduce weight so that they can be easily lifted into basem*nts and then reassemble them again once in place. See videos of a Marchetti Sherpina 25 tons telescopic crawler crane being lowered into a basem*nt below and another being loaded onto a jack-up barge. There is a Marchetti Lupa showing off it's complete boom, lattice extension and fly jib combination which can be offset to 40 degrees. Another video demonstrates a Sennebogen 673R 70 tons telescopic crawler crane performing lift and carry duties. Something that our complete range of crawler cranes can carry out and one of the reasons why they are regularly chosen over mobile cranes.
Photos at the top of the page are one of our smallest & largest models the Sennebogen 613E and 6113E respectively. They are both quite new to our fleet and are proving very popular.
If you click on the thumbnails above you'll see a photo of a Marchetti Sherpina 25 tons capacity telescopic crawler crane on hire toKier in Bournemouth. As you can see the machine is working in extremely restricted access, the almost zero tail swing and the virtual wall system being very useful on a project such as this. The Sherpina is our most popular crane and we have 9 units of them in our fleet as a result.
We now have a fleet of 3 x 15 tons, 8 x 25 tons, 5 x 40 tons, 4 x 45 tons, 8 x 50 tons, 2 x 55 tons, 5 x 65 tons, 12 x 70 tons, 2 x 100 tons, 5 x 120 tons and 1 x 130 tons telescopic crawler cranes most with stage 4 or tier 5 engines.
All of our telescopic crawler cranes are available for hire nationwide with directly employed, fully trained and experienced CPCS qualified operators or self drive as required. In addition to operators we also supply crane supervisors and/or slinger signallers when requested. We also have some PTS operators if your work is alongside railway lines.
Our centrally located facility in the heart of the Midlands and close to HS2 sites allows us to offer competitive mobilisation costs throughout the UK. This is especially the case with telescopic crawler cranes as they move on a single low loader or semi low loader and do not require a service engineer to rig up as all of our operators are trained in this skill including our 100, 120 tons & 130 tons models which travel with the counterweights removed.
We are also happy to receive enquiries to supply telescopic crawler cranes on hire anywhere in Europe.
You may download specification sheets for our fleet of telescopic crawler cranes for hire below or click on the videos to see them in action including a drone video of our facilities showcasing our fleet.
FAQs
The telescopic crawler cranes in the LTR series combine many of the benefits of all-terrain cranes and crawler cranes. The excellent manoeuvrability of the crawler travel gear enables LTR cranes to be used on any terrain.
What is the lifting capacity of a telescopic crane? ›
Max. load capacities of 16-130 t.
What is the capacity of a crawler crane? ›
Crawler cranes are used for heavy lifting work, for large assemblies in building construction and in the construction of wind turbines. The design of our crawler cranes with lattice boom offers a wide range of benefits: Maximum lifting capacity from 50 to max. 300 t.
How far can a telescopic crane reach? ›
The maximum outreach is around 90m. All-terrain cranes: These are designed to operate on rough terrain. But they require space for outriggers to provide stability. The maximum outreach is around 60m.
Can you pick and carry with a crawler crane? ›
Since they offer strength and stability at long distances, crawler cranes are ideal for pick-and-carry and heavy-duty lifting applications. They can move virtually anywhere on the jobsite—even with a load on the hook.
How far can a 55 ton crane reach? ›
lifting capacity of 50 metric tons (55 U.S. tons). The max. boom length is 33.5 m (110 ft) with a tipping height of 34.8 m (170 ft).
How far can a 40 ton crane reach? ›
40 Ton Rated Capacity. 32ft. - 102ft. of four section full power boom.
What are the disadvantages of telescopic cranes? ›
Telescopic cranes are known for their strength and stability, as they can lift heavy loads and maintain a steady position while doing so. They are also relatively large and heavy, making them more difficult to transport and maneuver on job sites.
What is the difference between a mobile crane and a crawler crane? ›
Mobility and Deployment: Mobile cranes offer superior mobility and rapid deployment, making them an excellent choice for projects involving multiple lifts across various locations. Load Capacity and Stability: Crawler cranes are more suitable for lifting heavy loads and maintaining stability on soft or uneven ground.
What is the largest telescopic crane in the world? ›
The world's longest mobile telescopic boom: the Liebherr Mobile 11200-9.1. The Liebherr crane is the longest telescopic boom crane in the world – which, when fully extending, reaches up to 100 meters. This gargantuan crane has a double cab truck and can lift as much as 1200 metric tonnes.
Determining the crane load capacity ensures a safe work environment and allows the project to proceed smoothly. You may need to find the Crane Capacity index for the load chart. To calculate the crane capacity index, use this formula: (Average (radius x max (lifting height x capacity))) / 100.
What limits the capacity of a crane? ›
A crane's lifting capacity is dependent on the crane's configuration, structural limitations, distance to the load to be lifted, the height of the lift, ground conditions, and ambient weather conditions, etc.
How big is the 100 ton crawler crane? ›
100-tons (90-tonnes) pick-and-carry capacity at 10ft (3m) radius thru 360°. Sequence-synchronized four-section full power boom of 128ft (39.01m) length. Lattice boom extensions and offsettable jibs for up to 196ft (59.7m) tip height.
What is the purpose of a telescopic crane? ›
Construction Sites:
Telescopic cranes are often used in the construction of tall buildings like skyscrapers or multi-story car parks. Their ability to reach tall heights makes them ideal for lifting heavy materials to upper floors with precision and safety.
What is the difference between a telescopic crane and a mobile crane? ›
A telescopic crane is usually a mobile crane, often mounted on a truck chassis. Mobile telescopic cranes are flexible cranes that can be set up quickly, giving them the advantage of being able to be used for short lifting jobs.
What is the purpose of a telescopic handler? ›
Telehandlers are also called a lull, teleporter, reach forklift, or zoom boom, and is widely used in the agriculture and construction industry. The main use for a telehandler is to lift pallets, with the ability to suspend loads with a chain or shift heavy loads to areas that otherwise would be difficult to reach.
What is the difference between a crane and a crawler crane? ›
Mobile cranes offer greater versatility in terms of transportation. They can be driven on public roads and easily transported from one job site to another. Crawler cranes, however, require additional transportation equipment, such as trucks or trailers, to move them between sites.
