In an industry where space is tight, deadlines are tighter, and precision is everything, having the right lifting solutions can mean the difference between delay and delivery.
And that’s why John Sutch Cranes has invested in a new addition to its fleet.
Today, we are proud to introduce the FASSI F710RA XHE-Dynamic to our line up. It's a beast of a hiab - a machine that blends muscle with finesse and is currently the only one of four of its kind operating in the North West.
Designed to meet the demands of modern urban lifting, the F710RA isn’t just another truck-mounted crane it’s one that has heavy-duty capability with the flexibility of a compact hiab. Whether it’s lifting HVAC units to rooftops in city centres or manoeuvring steelwork in logistically challenged zones, the F710RA performs with extraordinary reach and stability.
This model is equipped with Fassi’s state-of-the-art xhe-Dynamic control system, enabling multi-function operation with incredible precision. From its advanced FX900 control unit to the ProLink and XP system integration, every movement is smooth, coordinated, and monitored. It’s technology designed not just to lift, but to lift smarter — with full load monitoring, touchscreen diagnostics, and real-time telemetry giving operators unprecedented oversight on every job.
But the real value comes when you see it in action.
Sometimes, seeing is believing and this is a machine that can lift.
“This machine really hits the sweet spot for contractors working in tight city spaces who still need high-end lifting performance,” says Chris Fisher, Manchester Depot Manager at John Sutch Cranes.
“We’ve already used it on several projects where a traditional crane just wouldn’t have fit — the F710RA gives us the reach and control without the footprint. It’s changing how we approach certain lifts.”
The F710RA’s 30-metre reach (with jib) and compact configuration mean it can operate where others can’t — over rooftops, across rail lines, or inside confined yards. And with a maximum lifting moment of 68.5 tonne-metres, it delivers the kind of performance usually expected from a far larger set-up.
For project managers, M&E contractors, and logistics planners looking for high-spec lifting solutions without the compromise, the FASSI F710RA XHE-Dynamic offers a fresh approach — one that’s already proving its worth on some of the region’s most challenging jobs.
