These impressive 70 ton capacity cranes have a 50 meter boom, can lift up to 65 meters and have a operating radius on the level of 48 meters.

They can achieve a speed of 85 mph, and carry 14.5 tons of ballast on board for immediate deployment, which means that the need for an attending crane tender is significantly reduced.

Their maximum speed is actually 85 KPH (= 53 mph) which is a more reasonable terminal velocity for a vehicle of these proportions and this kind of weight!

Sorry about the typo - I am surprised nobody noticed; they must all be former Dennis F12 drivers...
