At John Sutch Cranes, our commitment to energy efficiency and delivering sustainable solutions for our clients is paramount. A few weeks ago, we were proud to be back on site at Manchester Town Hall, one of the most significant schemes in Manchester City centre, working alongside our partners, Lendlease.
Throughout the duration of this extensive programme, our team has been busy contributing in various ways. However, this time we brought something special to the table: our Spierings SK1265 ATG crane for a hybrid job with a difference.
For three weeks, our crane operated in full electric mode, plugged in and powered by greenenergy. This not only demonstrated our dedication to reducing carbon footprints but also showcased our ability to deliver top-tier lifting solutions with minimal environmental impact.
Our success on this project wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and expertise of our team. Crane driver Tommy Lismoore navigated the operations with precision, while supervisor Jon Every ensured everything ran smoothly. Slinger Brendan Heaton’s expertise was invaluable in safely guiding the lifts, and appointed person Phil Miller's meticulous planning and coordination made sure every aspect was executed flawlessly.
Paul Conneely, General Manager at John Sutch Cranes, said:
"This is a really prestigious job to do and we’re proud to be working on it. At John Sutch Cranes, it’s not just about lifting loads, it’s about creating partnerships and delivering for our client. That’s why we’ve got a crane for every job and on this one our client wanted to elevate sustainability and innovation and our Spierings was just the ticket to get the job done to the highest possible standard."
Our work at Manchester Town Hall stands as a testament to our ability to adapt and excel in providing green energy solutions.
We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in crane operations, always striving to serve our clients with excellence and sustainability at the forefront.
