King Lifting has expanded its fleet with the delivery of a new Liebherr LTM1300-6.2 300 tonne mobile crane, further enhancing its ability to deliver high capacity lifting solutions across a wide range of projects.

The new LTM1300-6.2 is equipped with 96 tonnes of counterweight, a 78-metre telescopic main boom, variobase and a 21 metre onboard fly jib. It also features a 42 metre fixed fly jib and a 70 metre luffing fly jib, providing exceptional versatility across a variety of lifting applications.

A key feature of the crane is its ability to operate with an outrigger width of just 5.6 metres while configured 76 tonnes of counterweight and a 70 metre luffing fly jib. This configuration delivers outstanding lifting performance where working space is limited, making it particularly well suited to projects in confined or restricted environments.

Tristan King, Managing Director, commented:
"We are delighted to take delivery of another new Liebherr LTM 1300-6.2 mobile crane. Over the past 10 years, we have seen firsthand how beneficial this crane has been for our customers, particularly with its market leading lifting capacity on a reduced outrigger base. That capability was a key factor in our decision to invest in an additional crane of this type, allowing us to continue providing flexible, high performance lifting solutions for increasingly challenging projects. The latest addition reinforces King Lifting's continued investment in modern, high performance equipment, ensuring customers benefit from the latest lifting technology, enhanced operational flexibility, and increased capacity for complex lifting operations."

Not every project needs the biggest crane on the fleet.

The most effective solution is the one that's best suited to the site, the lift, and the programme.

Choosing the right equipment isn't about size; it's about understanding the challenge and delivering the most efficient solution for the job.

Two cranes. One lift.

Tandem lifting is one of the most carefully coordinated operations in the lifting industry. It's not simply about using two cranes instead of one; it's about making them work together as a single lifting solution.

Every movement is planned, every stage is coordinated, and communication between the lifting team is continuous from start to finish. It's a great example of how successful lifting relies on much more than equipment. It takes preparation, precision and an experienced team working together.

From stadium tours to one‑night spectaculars, our teams love stepping into the entertainment world; where precision, timing and seamless coordination matter just as much as they do on any major infrastructure project.

Behind every show-stopping performance is a huge amount of engineering, and King Lifting is proud to support production crews across the UK with the heavy lifting needed to construct and deconstruct stadium staging safely and efficiently.

Whether it’s raising towering stage structures, positioning lighting rigs, or supporting complex load‑in/load‑out schedules, our specialist crews bring the same focus, planning and safety-first mindset that define all our operations.

Teamwork, precision and a very big lift. 💪

Our team has been hard at work in Midsomer Norton, supporting Wessex Water’s major flood‑prevention and environmental protection scheme at Wellow Brook.

To kick things off, we safely lifted an excavator and additional equipment across the brook — a complex operation delivered through detailed planning, expert coordination and safety-first ex*****on.

Technology has transformed the lifting industry over the last 40 years. Equipment is more advanced. Planning tools are more sophisticated. Projects are more complex.

But one thing hasn't changed; Experience still matters.

Knowing how to adapt, solve problems, and make the right decisions on site is something that comes from years of working across every kind of project imaginable.
