The new crane is now the largest unit in the Lee Teck Lee fleet which includes 10 Palfinger cranes. The main application envisaged for the new crane is to hoist soil testing machines from one location to another, along with other projects related to the Mass Rapid Transit company and Land Transport Authority in Singapore.

The company says that the long outreach enables the crane to remain on the road and reach into a site past obstacles such as trees, fences and drains, while avoiding the need to go onto soil and soft terrain, especially when torrential rain is a frequent occurrence. It also helps avoid damage to the environment which increasingly incurs heavy fines.
