NMT Crane Hire Expands Fleet with Additional Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift Collected at Vertikal Days

Updated: Jan 20

30 Second Takeaway


NMT Crane Hire has strengthened its UK lifting capability with the delivery of a Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift mobile tower crane, collected from Vertikal Days. The investment reinforces NMT’s commitment to high-capacity, electric crane technology and sustainable fleet growth.



New Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift Joins NMT Fleet


UK rental company NMT Crane Hire has added another six-axle Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift self-erecting mobile tower crane to its growing fleet, with the unit collected directly from Vertikal Days following its appearance on the show stand.


The Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift delivers a maximum lifting capacity of 10 tonnes, which it can handle at a radius of more than 13 metres. The crane is equipped with a 60-metre jib, offering a 1,700kg jib tip capacity at a 35-metre horizontal jib height, while maximum lift height reaches 64.2 metres with the jib luffed to 30 degrees.


Advanced eLift Technology Supports Sustainable Lifting


The crane is fitted with Spierings’ advanced eLift electric drive system, allowing the crane to connect to a mains power supply ranging from 11A to 25A or 32A, which can be pre-set depending on site conditions.


Power is managed through a Lithium-ion PowerPack, which absorbs peak energy demand while enabling the crane to operate from standard electrical outlets without compromising performance. During periods of lower power demand, the battery system automatically recharges.


For sites without access to mains power, the SK1265-AT6 eLift is also equipped with a compact diesel engine, capable of generating the electrical power required for full crane operation.


Strategic Investment Underscores Long-Term Fleet Strategy


NMT managing director JD Ambridge highlighted the significance of the latest addition to the fleet.

“This acquisition marks another pivotal moment and investment for NMT. The SK1265-AT6 eLift adds unparalleled capacity, speed, and sustainability to our fleet. This is the third Spierings mobile tower crane in the fleet, which underlines our trust in the product. Partnering closely with Spierings and showcasing this crane at Vertikal Days demonstrates a responsible growth strategy as we reliably service clients across the country.”
