Crane Tenders

Crane tenders fitted the role of support vehicles of large cranes or smaller self propelled types. They varied from tool trucks, jib support vehicles to tenders used to carry wood or fuel for the steam crane.

Most tenders were converted from vehicles which had been placed 'Off Register' or listed as 'Scrapped'. Records are scant.
