Crane company to reach new heights with £3.7m investment 

John Sutch Cranes is driving forward its growth and expansion plans investing £3.7m into new fleet and machinery.

The long established North West firm says it continues to consolidate its presence across all sectors including the construction, civil engineering and oil and gas industries.

The investment sees nine new machines added to the firm’s fleet.

The acquisition includes six Axle Spierings, a mobile tower crane that is flexible and can be used in a range of lifting jobs.

Hayley Sutch, managing director of John Sutch Cranes, said: “These cranes are consistently in high demand and is probably the most popular choice due to their flexible and versatile nature lifting up to 3 tonnes and with a maximum radius of 60 metres. Adding these to our fleet ties in with our wider growth strategy across all sectors.

“We are committed to operating a fleet where no one machine is older than five years. This is incredibly important to us, ensuring we are consistently up to date with the latest technological advances affecting key areas such as health and safety. Whilst we invest in our fleet we continue to offload older models to sustain this approach.”

Sutch added: “Throughout our 40 years in business, we’ve grown to become one of the leading firms of our kind and the North West and have built a strong reputation in terms of fleet, service delivery and personnel.

“We recognise that we must make strides forward in terms of investment if we are to sustain our market leading position, whist enjoying continued expansion.”
