Keeping the lights on

Despite the recent severe storms, Southdown ​Truck & Crane ​continues to assist in the repair​s & upgrades​ of pylons and power cabling alike. With access ​to remote job sites ​being a​n issue​, due to wet and muddy fields something a little special was required.

​We provide 4 x 4 vehicle complete with experienced operator to overcome this problem. Aptly named ‘The Mule’ due to its size/work ratio, this vehicle is capable of traversing ​the harsh terrains that Britain has to throw at us. Fitted with a rear mounted Palfinger PK 7501 crane, it has the benefit of lifting capacities between 890kg at 7.5 metres and 1700kg at 4 metres. With a maximum reach of 11 metres including the fly​ ​jib, and a payload of 4​,​000kg ​plus the option of a post hole borer, ​this is one of the most versatile vehicles in the fleet.
