Cadman Expands Fleet with Hoeflon C10 Mini Crane
Essex-based crane hire company Cadman Crane Hire has expanded its fleet with the addition of a Hoeflon C10 mini crane, responding to increasing demand for compact lifting equipment capable of operating in tight and complex environments.
The investment supports Cadmans’ ongoing commitment to delivering modern, efficient, and sustainable crane hire solutions across a wide range of project types.
Compact Design, Powerful Performance
The Hoeflon C10 mini crane delivers an impressive 4.0-tonne lifting capacity while weighing just 5.0 tonnes, offering an exceptional balance of power and manoeuvrability.
Designed to work where access is restricted, the crane is:
Narrow enough to fit through doorways
Highly manoeuvrable in confined internal spaces
Equally effective in challenging external environments
This makes the Hoeflon C10 ideally suited for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and urban construction sites where traditional cranes cannot operate..
Sustainable Lifting with Hybrid Electric Technology
The Hoeflon C10 supports sustainable lifting operations through its hybrid engine, which operates using a combination of HVO biofuel and electric power.
For indoor operations, the crane can connect to a 3-phase electrical supply, allowing it to run on 100% electric power. This significantly reduces noise, emissions, and environmental impact, making it ideal for indoor lifting, refurbishment projects, and low-emission construction sites.
Supporting Modern Crane Hire Requirements
By adding the Hoeflon C10 mini crane to its fleet, Cadmans is well positioned to support clients requiring:
Low-emission lifting solutions
Quiet indoor crane operations
Precision lifting in tight access locations
As construction projects increasingly prioritise sustainability, access limitations, and operational efficiency, compact hybrid and electric mini cranes continue to play a growing role in the crane hire market.
