TCA Lifting co-owner Phil Lomax said: "EasyJet looked at a number of cranes on the market but this spider crane has all the necessary features to carry out all the required duties. In addition, it became clear during the trial of the crane that its user friendly remote controls were ideal for allowing the operator to be perfectly positioned when lifting alongside the aircraft."
