The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) on the Isle of Wight in the UK has bought a new rough terrain crane for boat handling and general yard duties.
The 30 tonne capacity Grove RT530E, which replaces an old industrial crane, is part of the RNLI's £ 2 million (US$ 3 million) investment at the Inshore Lifeboat Centre at East Cowes.
