New Year, New Arrivals for NMT Crane Hire as investment continues with two new DAF XG’s

Posted in News MediaTagged , , , Leave a Comment on New Year, New Arrivals for NMT Crane Hire as investment continues with two new DAF XG’s

As 2025 begins, NMT Crane Hire is hitting the ground running with the addition of two state-of-the-art DAF XG vehicles to its fleet.

This investment marks the continuation of a focused effort to modernise and expand NMT’s operations, ensuring our business meets the growing demands of clients.

The purchase, made through longstanding partners Brian Currie of Milton Keynes, reinforces a relationship built over years of trust and quality service.

Since 1977, the Brian Currie name has been synonymous with excellence in the haulage industry, and NMT is proud to return to them once again for this important upgrade.

Brian Currie, the namesake of the Milton Keynes-based haulage provider, commented on the ongoing collaboration.

Speaking about the new additions, JD Ambridge, Managing Director at NMT, said: “We have a longstanding partnership with Brian Currie of Milton Keynes, and we’re delighted to be once again purchasing new vehicles from them.

“We are going through a real period of investment, following the acquisition of a new 300T Liebherr, the LTM 1300-6.2, the third 300-tonner in the fleet, and now these new DAF XGs.

“We are busy, and our fleet needs to reflect that. That’s why we’ve invested, ensuring we have the best equipment available to meet demand and maintain a reliable and exceptional service our clients expect.”

He said: “Working with NMT Crane Hire has always been a pleasure. Their commitment to investing in top vehicles speaks volumes about the quality of service they deliver to their clients. We’re proud to supply them with these DAF XGs, which are among the best on the market today.”

The new DAF XG models are built for efficiency, comfort, and reliability – key attributes for the demanding haulage requirements of NMT Crane Hire. Features include:

  • State-of-the-Art Cab Design: ensuring our drivers are safe and comfortable
  • Advanced Safety Systems: Equipped with technologies such as lane-keeping assist, predictive cruise control, and advanced emergency braking systems.
  • Fuel Efficiency: The XG series boasts next-generation engines designed to reduce emissions and fuel consumption without compromising performance.
  • Payload Capacity: Exceptional load-bearing capabilities make these vehicles ideal for heavy-duty operations like crane hire logistics.

NMT Crane Hire tackles Storm Darragh’s aftermath

Posted in News MediaTagged , Leave a Comment on NMT Crane Hire tackles Storm Darragh’s aftermath

When Storm Darragh swept across the UK, it left a trail of damage in its wake, and a woodland area in Woburn Sands was no exception.
Responding to the call, NMT Crane Hire deployed our versatile Terex Demag 40 Tonne Crane to handle a complex operation involving the removal of a large fallen tree that posed a hazard to the surrounding area.
Like many lifts, we make it look easy as we’ve been doing this for decades. But the reality was that the task wasn’t as simple as removing the tree.
To ensure the safety of everyone involved, a skilled tree surgeon was suspended by our crane to safely cut and manage the fallen tree before removal could proceed. This step was crucial to minimise risks and prepare the site for the second phase of the operation.
Once the tree was sectioned, the Terex Demag 40 Tonne Crane stepped in for the heavy lifting.
With its precision handling and versatile lifting capabilities, our team efficiently removed the large sections of the tree, clearing the area while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Safety was our top priority throughout the operation.

NMT Crane Hire delivers precision lift in Manchester City Centre

Posted in News MediaTagged , , Leave a Comment on NMT Crane Hire delivers precision lift in Manchester City Centre

Over the busy festive period, NMT Crane Hire was called into the heart of Manchester to execute a highly specific and technical lift.
In one of the city’s most prestigious business districts, our team from the Birmingham depot proved why we are trusted for delicate and challenging lifting operations.
For this project, the BOCKER AK46/6000 crane was ideal choice, offering the versatility and precision required to handle the unique demands of the job.
Our mission was to lift out existing glass panels from a high-rise office building and replace them with sleek new glazing.
Operating in a bustling city centre during the festive season added an extra layer of complexity to the job, which was handled expertly by our supervisor and site team.
We took proactive steps to manage safety on-site, including working with the client and local authority to close down a busy side street and ensuring pedestrians were safely guided away from our works.
With clear signage, barriers, and of course NMT in place, we worked efficiently to maintain the highest safety standards while minimising disruption to the public.
Our works, which happened over a three day period last week, did provide some spectators, however our team navigated the challenges of a city centre environment perfectly.
The BOCKER AK46/6000, with its advanced capabilities, enabled us to complete the lifts with accuracy, ensuring the pristine installation of the new glass panels.
Terry Clarke, NMT Crane Hire Manager in the Midlands who was the appointed person on the job, said: “This project highlights why NMT Crane Hire is the go-to choice for challenging lifts in busy city centres like this. With a skilled team, a modern fleet of cranes, and a commitment to safety, we specialise in delivering precision and efficiency for projects of all sizes. Full credit to our team, which included Martin Tongue, for delivering a great result for our client.”
