Forsyth of Denny’s new six-axle all-terrain crane has an eight-section 90-metre main boom, topped by an 11.5 to 20 metre double swingaway extension fly jib, giving it a maximum lifting height of 120 metres and a lifting radius of 94 metres.

Director Mark Syme said: “We want to ensure we have the latest technology available to support our customers and that is why we have invested in the new LTM 1300-6.3. This compact six-axle crane with 90-metre main boom will be the perfect addition to our fleet, especially on wind turbine service and repair applications.”

The crane is equipped with a maximum ballast of 88 tonnes, with a travelling ballast of 22 tonnes in the UK. It also has Liebherr’s VarioBallast system, providing an adjustable ballast radius.

Forsyth of Denny runs a fleet of mobile cranes from 30 to 650 tonnes capacity from its three locations across Scotland and one in Ireland.
