Text book recovery
Last week we reported on how a 500 tonne All Terrain crane had slipped off the edge of a small road in rural Scotland as the verge - weakened by heavy rain - collapsed under the weight of the crane.

The crane stuck stuck half on and half off the road
On Friday the Mellex group was called and managed to mobilise a team and recover the crane over the weekend without further damage to it. In fact it was able to drive away under its own steam. The team managed to achieve all this without closing the road for more than a few brief sessions while they were unloading materials and equipment.
