Hoes lorry-loading cranes are marketed here by Reginald Tildesley and cover a wide range of lifting capacities.
The HM3 is the smallest crane, with a capacity of 1.6 tonnes (1.6 tons) at 3.5m (11.5ft) while the largest model, the HM7, is available with several optional boom-length booms to lift loads up to a maximum of 12 tonnes (11.8 tons) at 2m (6ft 61n) with the shortest boom. With the longer boom, the model HM7LL can reach to a maximum of 27.5m (90ft 2in) with a capacity of 0.2 tonne at that point.
The range of Hoes cranes consists of four basic models, but options on these make 14 permutations possible. All sections of the folding jib arms are telescopically retracted and twin hydraulic rams are used to operate the booms. Slewing angles vary from 2700 to 4050 depending on the model of crane. A full range of accessories and grabs is available at extra cost.
