About the AT-20

Our all-rounder Franna

The Franna AT-20 is a 20 tonne articulated pick-and-carry crane. Like all our Frannas it lifts without outriggers, so it can pick up a load, drive with it on the hook and set it down where it needs to go.

It steers by pivoting in the middle, up to 40 degrees each way, and the boom reaches from 13.85m to 17.9m, or 20.8m with the fly jib. It's the crane we use most for panels, containers, pool shells and civil work.

Planning a Franna lift

Ground, access and lift planning

Frannas need firm, level ground to lift and carry their full capacity, and capacity drops on slopes, soft ground and when the crane is articulated. Lofty checks the ground, access, overhead lines and the travel path before the job, and prepares the lift plan and Safe Work Method Statement.

The rest of the fleet

Need a different crane?

For the tightest sites the 15T Franna is smaller again. For heavier pick-and-carry there's the 25T, and the 55T and 80T for height and weight. For major projects we source cranes up to 350T.
