Our Largest Crane Yet!

We are proud to announce the expansion of our SuperCrane™ fleet with our biggest crane yet! In November 2020 we introduced our powerful SANY 80.0T SuperCrane™ hydraulic crawler crane to our lineup – massive in size, lifting capacity and reach.

This crane sports an impressive 80T lifting capacity with a robust 5 section telescopic boom with a max length of 47m and a fly-jib of 17.5m. Complex in its abilities, yet simple in its controls, the 80.0T easily operates from flat to rough and uneven terrain thanks to its high strength alloy cast steel flat plate tracks and load moment indicators. The operator’s cab is spacious providing operators with a wider view and a 20-degree tilt, as well as ergonomic-designed control buttons, A/C and real-time cameras for optimal comfort. This crawler crane also has a unique swing buffer, a steady brake system and can extend and retract under high pressure provided by auxiliary system and an electrically controlled cylinder. Basically … it is a gem!

Andrew Lambert, Preston Hire’s General Manager, is thrilled with our latest addition to an already impressive product line-up. “This crane is an incredible asset for us. We are always listening to what our client’s need and the type of gear that will help them to solve site challenges and requirements. The opportunity presented itself to us to add this machine to the fleet and we jumped at it. It is a very welcomed addition to our SuperCrane family!”

Nicknamed ‘Uno’ to represent our first SANY crane and the first SANY crane of its size to hit the shores of Australia, we are excited that this machine has already headed straight out to site for a long-term hire in Melbourne.

Lambert is especially enthusiastic about the path it paves for our future fleet capabilities across our crawler, mobile and mini crane range. “Having a crane of this caliber in our fleet is incredibly advantageous and a massive achievement for Preston Hire as we grow into new territory. This SuperCrane™ has already shown how in-demand it is having left our branch immediately for a 9month+ hire. We don’t think it will be spending much time at home!”
