Crane

Our flagship LS 15.17 crane

Our flagship LS 15.17 crane is the largest towable self-erecting crane available on the UK market, offering a unique combination of power, reach, and mobility that traditional cranes simply can’t match.

This model has been engineered for builders, roofers, and contractors who need to handle serious lifting tasks without the hassle of heavy haulage, large crews, or long setup times.

Whether you’re working on housing developments, steel frame erection, roofing projects, cladding installations, or commercial construction sites, the LS 15.17 is built to keep your project moving efficiently.

Despite its impressive capacity — lifting up to 1,500 kg with a maximum reach of 17 m — this crane maintains a compact footprint (square 4 m x 4 m or rectangular 3 m x 4.65 m), making it ideal for sites with restricted access such as urban streets, driveways, and tight plots.

By combining fast setup, flexible ballast options, and built-in safety features such as hydraulic stabilisers, load monitoring, and wind sensors, the LS 15.17 delivers a safe, reliable and cost-effective lifting solution for projects across Leeds, Yorkshire, and the M62 corridor.
