Three of these cranes were based on the quayside at Bidston Dock, now infilled. The cranes were located on the quayside around Image and were used for transfer of iron ore from ships to railway wagons destined for the John Summers steelworks in Shotton. The cranes were demolished in the 1990s, and the dock was landfilled around 2003.
