IN FOCUS / GLEASON CRANES
GLEASON BACK AND HIRING Following a brief break from the rental market, Gleason Cranes is back with new units in the fleet and new Zoomlion telescopic crawlers to be added. Johno Wood from the Gleason Cranes Sales Department explains more. “AFTER A SHORT HIATUS FROM THE rental market Gleason Cranes are back. We have made new additions to the fleet including a Maeda 275 and a Kobelco F50. Obviously, these are smaller capacity machines but we have been carefully watching the hire market and we can see there’s a niche for mini crane hire. “We have been talking to smaller contractors who don’t necessarily want or need to own their own crane, but they do have frequent requirements for small capacity cranes including mini crawler spider. The cranes are ideal for maintenance work and lifts on construction sites where they are ideal for lifts in tight and ‘hard to get to’ areas,” said Wood. Gleason Cranes is happy to offer a
range of rental periods including ‘rent to buy’ options says Wood. “We are flexible with our hire and rental terms. We are happy to talk about short or long terms packages and all our cranes come with our commitment to service, support and maintenance. Recently, our client Hallberg Pty Ltd hired a Maeda 355C. After a minor incident on site, we had the machine back in our workshop on the same day and returned it to site the next morning ready to work. Our ability to respond quickly to this incident resulted in no lost time on site,” he said. Gleason Cranes has full workshop capabilities to service, repair, inspect
all types of cranes and equipment. All repairs and services are fully documented, and appropriate paperwork issued upon completion. “It’s important that our hire fleet is well maintained and ready to go to site. Between rentals, the crane is returned to our and qualified team test and service the equipment to ensure it is ready for the next job. “Servicing and maintaining equipment is a major issue for our clients and we are very happy to work
Gleason Cranes will be bringing in models from the new Zoomlion ZCT series hydraulic telescopic boom crawlers. 106 / CAL September 2021
