Thornham Marina unload Rib for JBT Marine

Earlier this year JBT Marine asked Thornham Marina to unload from road transport a 28ft Rayglass Protector rib that had been shipped from New Zealand. All this made for a large lorry load for our narrow lane. We at the Marina used our Merlo Telehandler to lift it from the transport. The Merlo with a 4ton capacity and a 17m reach is a new piece of equipment we had delivered last summer for unstepping masts and moving smaller boats although this is by far the biggest to date.
