A new 90 tonne all terrain crane for Dewsbury & Proud is the 30th Liebherr for the UK company and the first to be delivered from a new six-unit order.

The crane rental specialist took delivery of the four axle LTM 1090-4.2 for its expanding operations nationwide.

In addition to the 90 tonner, D&P also ordered a pair of two-axle, 40 tonne capacity LTM 1040-2.1s, two 60-tonne capacity LTM 1060- 3.1s on three axles and a five-axle, 150 tonne capacity, LTM 1150-5.4. Deliveries will be made through 2026 and 2027.

Cost and efficiency

The LTM 1090-4.2 has a 60 metre boom, to which can be added a 9.5 to 16 metre double swingaway fly jib, increasing lifting height to 76 metres and the working radius to 62 metres.

In the UK the 90 tonner can travel under STGO regulations with all 22.5 tonnes of counterweight on board, minimising cost and maximising efficiency.

Tony Proud and Jerry Dewsbury founded Dewsbury & Proud in 1977 and it is still a family-run business. The company’s five depots are in the English Midlands, at Wolverhampton, Loughborough, Coventry, Stoke-On-Trent and Gloucester. It acquired Ellis Crane Hire in October 2025, expanding operations into the south west of England.
