The canal boat was being delivered for the […]

Radio mast upgrades & another busy month.

Despite Covid, February of 2021 has been a very busy month for Terranova. As the month draws to a close, we were delighted to confirm a two day booking with Vantage Solutions Ltd for our AC 50 tonne crane. As can be seen from the photos, access to the site was difficult due to the […]

How Terranova helped BBC’s Challenge Anneka (1991)

In 1991 Terranova helped out on a “Challenge Anneka” TV episode.  The series 3 finale, a “180-foot Bridge”, was filmed in Wadebridge, Cornwall in under 4 days! This video contains the highlights of that memorable event for us. Anneka Rice was challenged to help complete a 55m (180ft) pedestrian bridge across the River Camel to […]

Landscaping With Our Compact Jekko Spider Crane

In January, our light weight Jekko spider crane (at only 2395 kg) and operator, were hired by a landscaping service to lift three trees into location at the historic Hillside House in Reading. Site access, a pedestrian gateway, was narrow and the frozen ground conditions were difficult and uneven. There was also a new ornamental […]

Terex 60 te Challenger crane

We recently helped install a new swim spa at Chobham, Surrey using our Hiab lorry and the latest crane in our fleet, the Terex 60 te Challenger. It’s so new we have not yet had its signage/graphics done. Our Hiab is sporting its new shorter rigid bed. This shorter bed means that it will be […]

New Runner Attachment for Low Ceilings

We have a new Demag runner (spinner) attachment we’ve been successfully trialling.  This specially designed runner attaches to the telescopic boom of either our AC40 and AC45 cranes to provide additional lift height in buildings with low ceiling clearance.  The runner can be fitted with either auxiliary sheaves or a pivoting double hook at its […]

Gantry Crane at Farnborough Airport

We recently installed a new using our Demag AC40 city class crane and our new runner attachment.  The runner attachment is especially designed to lift loads high up into low roof spaces. Low roofs are popular to conform to local planning restrictions while maximising your internal space.  They can also save money during construction.  Now […]
