Truck Tower Cranes
The advantages of tower operation with fast inter-site travel that's the Coles truck package. Close working and maximum outreach combine with road ability for fast site-to-site transit to give real versatility, real efficiency. And to Increase the potential still further, Coles truck towers can be quickly converted for conventional strut duties.


Husky Rough Terrain Cranes
The Hydra Huskies are the Coles rough terrain cranes that go where the gong is tough because the Huskies have the performance orientated features that cope effortlessly with unmade sites and still lift - and carry - the loads with supreme ease. The Coles Huskies have big site riding tyres, four wheel drive, four wheel steer. ultra efficient torque converter transmission, fast set rock steady outriggers for heavy loads - and chassis that offer real stability and strength when it matters most, weather they are used in construction, vehicle recovery, oil industry or bridge building.

Hydra Speedcranes
Where there's a need for a conventionally sized, general purpose, telescopic boom crane there's no better answer than a Hydra Speedcrane. Front wheel-drive/rear-wheel-steer for superb manoeuvrability. road travail capability, exceptionally low headroom requirement, a unique compensated rope-reeving system, long outreach, robust construction and utter reliability all these and more make Speedcranes the answer to a wide range of general lifting problems.

Self Propelled Mobile Cranes
These are the work horses of the Coles range, in action round the clock all over the world in factories, depots, stores, timber yards, ports and terminals - anywhere that rugged and reliable lifting capability is required. Coles self propelled mobiles with a wide range of maximum lifting capacities, are available with strut and cantilever jibs and can be fitted with tongs, electro magnets, grabs and other specialist handling devices.
