Superior lift capacity joins the family.
Our range of Superminicrawler cranes have always been the toast of the industry with superior performance in tight spaces and a service level second to none.
Preston have never been a company to rest on laurels and with the addition of the large capacity URW 706 to our fleet, we can safely say that the range of Superminicrawler cranes available to you is now top of the line.
With a lift capacity of 6t, the Preston URW 706 is the choice of construction experts, passenger jet maintenance teams and the offshore oil and gas industry – if you have a heavy lift job in a tight space, talk to Preston today about ‘Hire Performance’.
Preston’s URW 706 will out lift all of our other models with a phenomenal capacity of 6t at a 3.0m radius. Yet with its super model profile of only 1.6m this Superminicrawler will prove its versatility time and time again.
Specifications include radio remote control, working area limiters for safety and intelligent throttle activation to further reduce costs in terms of fuel consumption, to further reduce your carbon footprint. The Preston URW 706 comes complete with a 3 phase plug in electric motor to eliminate diesel fumes, a requirement for those projects that need a “lean, green lifting machine”.
The Preston URW 706 has been utilised around the world for a variety of projects, some of the more interesting include:
• Removal of tail rudders and propellers from aircraft. • Installation of stainless steel wind powered art exhibits. • Removal of dumped vehicles from water filled canals.
Although these examples may seem entertaining the serious point remains; that the Preston URW 706 will provide you impressive power:
• Capacity of 6.0t x 3.0m radius. • Total width of 1.6m. • Maximum working radius of 18.6m. • Maximum boom length of 22.7m (including fly jib) • Load free weight of 8070kg. • Folded dimensions of 5610mm (l) x 1600mm (w) x 2185mm (h).

Hire Performance leads to higher education.
Dexion Integrated Systems secured the contract for installing the new library racking system for the University of Macquarie and with the ”sensational service” of Preston they achieved both access and capacity.
Using the latest technology from the United States the librarians select the book they need on a computer and one of four automated cranes locates the appropriate bin from the racks and brings it to the front desk – truly amazing.
The tolerances of this system provided Dexion’s biggest challenge and Preston’s Superminicrawlers supplied the solutions required.
The installation of the racking system was a delicate operation and required finesse in dealing with the high tolerance system.
Given the tight constraints of the site and the sectional nature of the racks, the use of three different sizes of Superminicrawler cranes allowed Dexion to achieve both access in between the racks and the capacity to maintain the schedule.
The project contained deadlines that, if missed, would incur liquidated damages and so the performance of Preston was paramount to the success of the project. “Due to the difficult site conditions, we used three different sized Preston Superminicrawler cranes at various stages throughout the installation” says Dexion’s site manager Peter Cubis.
Of Preston’s performance he says, “Each machine was delivered on time, in good working order and with all the appropriate paperwork. They all performed extremely well in very difficult circumstances and were well supported by the Preston Group team – my expectations were exceeded on all levels”.
The Dexion project achieved its goals of accuracy and timely completion and the involvement of Preston assured “Hire Performance”.
See you on site. Preston Group, Your Project Partner.
