Time Line > Crane List
| First of all I would like to thank Richard Blokker for supplying the basic details of this list.
This is a list of most types of Coles Crane that were made in the United Kingdom and in Germany. It is based on a list of sales literature so the type introduction date would approximately concur with this list. The date in the second column where given is the last literature issue for the model not necessarily when the model went out of production.
It is a long list so click on the index as a link to any section subsection.

This site is about cranes, in particular Coles Cranes and the history of Coles. To see why this site came about see the 'About Site' section. This site will discribe somthing about mobile cranes, the history of Coles Cranes and contain a database with pictuers of most of the cranes made by Coles along with some intresting little technical details.
Coles stopped trading in 1984 and and the last working factory closed down in 1998. Coles is now only a part of crane history. This site is dedicated to remembering what was once one of the largest crane manufacturing companies in the world and to those people who worked there.
