MV Commercial Delivers Industry-Leading Heavy-Duty Scania R560 Crane Artic to Steeles Removals
New build combines cutting-edge lifting capability, high-spec driver comfort, and exceptional fleet versatility.
MV Commercial proudly announces the delivery of a state-of-the-art Scania R560 6x2 crane artic, fitted with a powerful Palfinger PK 76002 EH crane, to long-standing customer Steeles Removals. This latest handover underscores MV Commercial’s commitment to delivering custom-built, high-specification trucks that meet the evolving demands of heavy-duty logistics and specialist lifting operations.
First unveiled at Truckfest Lincoln 2025, the new Scania R560 drew strong interest from fleet operators and truck enthusiasts alike. The vehicle’s premium build quality, standout looks, and advanced crane integration attracted widespread praise, with many industry professionals recognising it as a benchmark for modern heavy-duty fleet builds.
Built in at MV Commercial’s advanced three-lane fabrication facility in Grantham, the truck features a Fruehauf Body Systems subframe and an expertly mounted Palfinger PK 76002 EH crane which ensures maximum lifting performance and fleet-wide operational synergy. Dean Steele, Managing Director of Steeles Removals, has added this flagship unit to a fleet that already benefits from a Palfinger crane, allowing seamless operator interchangeability when required.
Crucially, this unit has been fitted with a demountable short body designed to handle 20ft containers and a VBG coupling for drag trailer operations. Together, these additions provide unmatched flexibility, enabling operators to tackle a wider range of jobs with a single truck. This adaptability has quickly become one of the key selling points of the build, maximising fleet utilisation and return on investment.
