AGD have just delivered a brand new RTG RG21T telescopic leader rig to long term customer Ivor King Piling. It is pictured here installing 600 mm diameter CFA piles to 16.5 m depth with a 15 ton metre torque MB150 rotary through mudstone in Leicester.

This multi purpose rig has also been supplied with a 150 tons MRV150AVM resonance free variable moment vibrator and is capable of installing sheet piles, H beams and tubes thus making it a very versatile machine. Another photo shows it installing pairs of Z piles in Manchester using a special double Z clamp which was part of the package ordered.

It is fitted with a Caterpillar C18 twin turbo 570 kw tier 4F engine making it one of the most powerful telescopic leader rigs on the market and at the same time complies with all the emission standards required for working in central London from 2020 and beyond.

Our famous pink crawler crane has been busy once again earning money for Cancer Research working as a service crane for a large diameter bored piling rig. The machine is photographed here on hire to specialist piling contractor Foundation Piling Ltd handling a vibrator to install and extract temporary casings, lifting reinforcement cages and to carry out other general lifting duties around site.

The 70 tons Marchetti Sherpa telescopic crawler crane was chosen for its quick set up times and small footprint along with the ability to retract the boom quickly and easily on the site which is right alongside the existing live dual carriageway.

Affectionately known as the "Pink Panther" this crane is proving to be popular wherever she goes.

One of our Sennebogen 680HD 80 tons lattice boom crawler cranes on hire to H Smith Engineers lifting printing presses out of an old print works at Surrey Quays, London. The building is full of them, this one weighs 16 tons.

The hydraulic high vision cab is a great asset to the operator on this job. All of our Sennebogen lattice boom crawler cranes have this feature. We have a fleet from 50 - 100 tons available for hire nationwide with experienced operators. Contact us for further info and rates.

AGD were recently called in to provide a lifting solution in Sheffield, South Yorkshire for local construction fiim Bowmer & Kirkland.

As you can see from the photos the crane had to be sited between two structures. The 70 tons Marchetti Sherpa telescopic crawler crane was able to carry out the job in this restricted space thanks to its ability to work with its outriggers in the half way position together with its incredible 14.5 m long with 40 degree offset fly jib and 40 m telescopic boom.

If you have a site with restricted access please give us a call. We will despatch one of our specialists to visit the site and offer you a lifting solution.

One of our 25 tons capacity Marchetti Sherpina telescopic crawler cranes has recently been busy at work erecting steel on hire to Maylim at the BBC Television Centre at Shepherds Bush, west London.

The older generation among us will remember this building as being synonymous with such TV programmes as Watch with Mother and Blue Peter! Nice for AGD to be part of this history.

AGD recently supplied on hire 2 units Giken F201 silent pilers with factory trained operators to JN Piling to install 6 m long U profile sheet piles on an embankment alongside the Chiltern railway line, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
