Why the TIDD PC28 crane is the smarter pick and carry crane choice

February 4, 2025

When it comes to pick and carry crane hire, Franna has long been a trusted name in the industry. However, advancements in crane technology have introduced superior alternatives, such as the TIDD PC28. At Colac Mobile Crane Hire, we’re proud to offer TIDD PC28 crane hire as a safer, more efficient solution for your lifting needs.

What’s the difference between a Franna and a TIDD PC28?

Both Franna cranes and TIDD PC28 cranes are pick and carry cranes, meaning they can lift and transport loads without the need for outriggers. While Franna cranes have been the go-to for many years, the TIDD PC28 offers enhanced safety, performance, and operator comfort.

Why choose the TIDD PC28?

  • Superior safety features
    The TIDD PC28 is built with dynamic load charts and a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS), reducing the risk of accidents on site. Unlike many Franna models, the TIDD PC28 features a superior load management system, preventing unsafe lifts and rollovers.
  • Increased lifting capacity
    With a 28-tonne lifting capacity, the TIDD PC28 provides impressive strength without compromising mobility, making it ideal for tight or complex work sites.
  • Greater operator comfort
    The sleek, ergonomic cabin design ensures operators experience reduced fatigue, improving focus and safety during operation.
