Compact Power: Meet the KATO CR-350 35T City Crane
At NMT Crane Hire, we understand that not every job requires a massive crane. In many cases, especially in built-up areas, access and agility matter just as much as lifting power. That’s why we’ve invested in the KATO CR-350 35T City Crane, a compact and efficient machine designed specifically for urban lifting challenges.

Whether you’re working on a busy street, a residential project, or a restricted-access site, this crane brings reliable strength and flexibility.
About the KATO CR-350 35T City Crane
The KATO CR-350 is a 35-tonne capacity city crane built for precision and manoeuvrability. It combines a compact footprint with impressive lifting capabilities, making it ideal for tight, complex environments where larger cranes can’t operate efficiently.
Key specifications:
- Maximum lifting capacity: 35 tonnes
- Main boom: Up to 32 metres
- Additional jib options for extended reach
- Tight turning radius and compact wheelbase
- Designed for quick setup and inner-city access
What the KATO CR-350 Is Used For
This city crane is ideal for a wide range of lifting tasks, particularly where space is limited and speed is essential.
Urban Construction and Rooftop Access
Perfect for lifting materials to upper floors, rooftops, or balconies on sites with limited access and minimal setup space.
Maintenance and Utilities
Frequently used for HVAC units, telecommunications equipment, signage, and other routine maintenance jobs in commercial or residential areas.
Domestic Projects
Ideal for home builds, loft conversions, and smaller construction jobs where heavier equipment would be impractical or disruptive.
Plant and Machinery Movement
Handles small to mid-size machinery relocation where tight site access or busy surroundings limit options.
