John Sutch Cranes, one of the UK’s leading mobile crane specialists, has reaffirmed its commitment to innovation and technical excellence with a strategic visit to SANY’s global headquarters in Changsha, China.
The visit was led by Paul Parry, Sales Director, following the company’s recent acquisition of the SANY SAC600E all-terrain crane.
The visit coincided with SANY’s international open day event, where the manufacturer opened its doors to global industry leaders, offering a behind-the-scenes look at its advanced production lines, R&D capabilities, and future-focused approach to crane technology.
“This trip was fundamental for us,” said Paul Parry, Sales Director at John Sutch Cranes.
“Purchasing the SAC600E wasn’t just about adding a crane to our fleet - it was about learning the story behind it. Visiting the SANY facility allowed us to gain first-hand insight into the engineering, innovation, and operational expertise that goes into every machine. This knowledge allows us to deliver greater value to our customers and ensure our operators are trained to get the very best from this investment.”
The SAC600E, which recently joined the John Sutch Cranes fleet, offers a 60-tonne capacity, a full 50-metre telescopic boom, advanced iCab operator ergonomics, and intelligent safety features including wireless remote control and anti-electromagnetic interference systems.
Hayley Sutch, Designate Managing Director, added: “We are proud to partner with forward-thinking manufacturers like SANY. This visit marks an important step in strengthening our global relationships and bringing world-class capability to UK lifting projects. We want to ensure our team is not only using the best equipment but truly understands the technology that drives it.”
The new SANY SAC600E will be available for projects across the UK, operating from John Sutch Cranes’ depots in Liverpool and Manchester, and supporting the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence in infrastructure, construction, and industrial lifting.
