John Sutch Cranes Newsletter

Our owner, John Sutch, looks back at a busy September . . .

Elevate and Celebrate with John Sutch Cranes — your partner in reaching new heights.

Welcome to the latest edition of Elevate & Celebrate, John Sutch Crane's newsletter. We're thrilled to share exciting updates, industry insights, and a glimpse into #ourcraneworld.

Our team networked across the two days including key meetings with the manufacturers.

September has been another busy month for the team at John Sutch Cranes Ltd., and one of the biggest highlights was our trip to Vertikal Days 2024 at the Newark Showground!

We brought a top team down to Nottinghamshire, including John Sutch, Managing Director, Hayley Sutch, Designate Managing Director, and Paul Parry, Sales Director. Our efforts were proudly showcased by our media team as we caught up with old friends and new, networked across the industry, and shared insights on our plans for the rest of the year and beyond.

John Sutch himself commented on the event. He said:
"It’s always great to connect with colleagues and partners in the industry, and Vertikal Days 2024 gave us the perfect platform to showcase what we’ve been up to and what’s coming next for John Sutch Cranes. We’re excited for what’s ahead!”

Kato stars at school in Lancashire

We’re excited to share the details of our recent project at Cardinal Newman School in Prestonnene, where we deployed our versatile Kato City Crane CR-130Ri! 🏙️

This compact yet powerful crane, with its 13-tonne maximum lifting capacity and impressive 15-meter reach, was the perfect solution for navigating tight spaces and delivering precise lifts. 💛 Its smaller size didn't stop it from performing at the highest level, showcasing how every crane in our fleet plays a vital role in delivering exceptional service.

While our bigger cranes, like the 300T and 450T, often steal the spotlight, the Kato City proved its value for projects that demand versatility and efficiency. It's another example of how John Sutch Cranes is committed to providing the right solution for every job—no matter the size or complexity.

A big thank you to our amazing customers for their continued trust and confidence in our team and equipment!

Our Sales Director, Paul Parry, shared his thoughts on the crane's success: "From Liebherr's factory to our work sites, the LTM 1450-8.1 crane has performed flawlessly. It continues to impress us with its power, precision, and reliability, enabling us to take on complex projects across the UK.

Behind the Scenes: The Unsung Heroes of John Sutch Cranes Ltd

At John Sutch Cranes Ltd, it's not just about having the most advanced fleet of cranes—it’s also about ensuring that every lift is supported by a reliable backbone of support vehicles that help get the job done right.
While our cranes often take the spotlight, it's our nifty support vehicles that work tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring smooth operations on every project.
From transporting essential equipment to providing on-site assistance, these vehicles are a crucial part of what makes us successful. Whether it's navigating challenging terrain or handling tight urban spaces, our support vehicles help us deliver the high standards we’re known for.
Each project presents its own unique challenges, but one thing remains constant: we always bring the right tools and the best team to every job. Our fleet isn’t just about lifting—it’s about precision, efficiency, and having everything in place to ensure we can get the job done safely and on time.

“Our support vehicles are an essential part of our success. They ensure our cranes are where they need to be, fully equipped and ready to take on any lift, no matter the complexity of the job.”

Giving back - still high on the list of priorities for us . . .

Our charity crane is still making a difference in Manchester and beyond

At John Sutch Cranes Ltd, we take immense pride in supporting The Christie Hospital in Manchester, a remarkable institution that has a big impact on our local community.

Over the years, operating from our Dukinfield depot, we've been privileged to assist this life-changing hospital in various capacities.

For John Sutch, our Owner and Managing Director, giving back has always been a core value. Whether it’s contributing to local causes or extending support beyond our immediate area, it’s a mission that resonates deeply with him and the entire team at John Sutch Cranes.

"Our work with The Christie isn’t just about providing crane services—it’s about making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most," says John. “We believe in standing by our community, whether through our services or through charitable support.”

Our iconic blue and yellow cranes have become a familiar sight alongside The Christie’s facilities. More than just lifting heavy loads, we feel that our contributions help lift spirits and stand alongside the hospital’s ongoing efforts to improve lives.

It’s an honour to be part of The Christie’s mission, and we look forward to continuing our support for this extraordinary institution./
