Hiab wins US$1 million order for cranes from UK's Wincanton
BRITISH third-party logistics and supply chain solutions provider, and London Stock Exchange-listed, Wincanton Plc, has ordered several Hiab L-HiPro 145 cranes worth EUR1 million (US$1.06 million) from a subsidiary of Cargotec.
The HIAB L-HiPro 145 belongs to the HIAB medium range of loader cranes and is a new model which is tailor-made for building material supply and has a lifting capacity up to 15 tonnes. The cranes are painted according to the high-tech nDurance painting process to safeguard a long life and a good-looking crane over time.
Three of the cranes will be equipped with Crane Tip Control (CTC), a software feature which Hiab brought into market in September 2016. With the CTC feature the crane operator controls the behaviour of the crane tip instead of each crane function (slewing, first boom, second boom, extensions), a company release explained.
"Our market-leading construction team delivers over 400,000 loads to construction and building sites across the UK and Ireland every year. To ensure the operational improvements across our customers' supply chain we need to have equipment that we can trust to deliver. HIAB loader cranes have answered to this need over the years," said Carl Hanson, fleet director, Wincanton Plc.
John Bailey, director, global key accounts, Hiab, said: "We have been Wincanton's supplier for loader cranes and maintenance since 2006. Over the years we have built up a first-class business partnership, in particular the UK Engineering team who have worked closely with Wincanton to deliver solutions to their operational requirements which have resulted in the delivery of a large number of HIAB loader cranes."
The new cranes will be delivered during the first quarter of 2017.
