Never a dull moment when operating one of our city cranes. This job which involved the erection of an oak-framed building entailing a particularly tight reverse onto site. Navigating a narrow residential access with very little room to spare in Avening, Nr. Tetbury, Gloucestershire, while it wasn’t the tightest approach we’ve ever handled, it certainly earned a solid 7 out of 10 for difficulty.
The images show our Demag AC45-1 City, in a model that’s a popular choice for tight-access and residential sites thanks to its short overall length, excellent manoeuvrability, and impressive lifting capacity for its size. These characteristics make it ideally suited to confined environments where space is at a premium.
With experienced hands on the controls and careful planning, the crane was positioned safely and efficiently, allowing the lift to proceed without issue. Another strong example of how the right equipment, combined with operator expertise, makes challenging sites both manageable and safe.
