Crane rental company J F Lomma in the US has ordered six new crawler cranes from Manitowoc. The order comprises three 300 tonne capacity Model 2250s, two 400 tonne capacity Model 16000s, and a 600 tonne capacity Model 18000. All six cranes will be added to the New Jersey-based company's fleet, which includes crawlers, towers and all terrain mobile cranes.

Jimmy Lomma, J F Lomma president, said, “Customers' needs are varied, and with the amount of urban construction going on in New York City, we need to be prepared for any number of jobsite needs. With a variety of boom configurations and great lift capacities across the load chart, Manitowoc crawlers provide exactly what we need.”

All the new crawlers were ordered with luffing jibs and deliveries will start in September.
