The hand crane and crane runner arrived on the SVR on 6 December 1982 from Bristol, having been acquired by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]].<ref>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref> Both spent some time stored in the ‘[[Stourport Triangle]]’, the junction of the Stourport Branch and the present day SVR south of Bewdley. In January 2019 it was announced that the crane was to move to [[Arley]] for cosmetic restoration as a static display, while the crane runner would be swapped with a [[GWR 2501 'Rotank' 6-Wheeled Road Milk Tank Flat Wagon|GWR flat wagon]] that would better suit the crane.<ref>SVR Wagons Facebook 13 January 2019</ref> In March 2019 the crane and runner were moved to Bewdley and in May to Arley.
In May 2019 the GWR 813 Preservation Fund expected the vehicle would move to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway<ref>Baxter, Nick J. P., SVR Unofficial Facebook, 5 May 2019</ref>, although that sale was never completed and by August 2019 it was for sale again.<ref>[https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/rolling-stock-for-sale.11670/page-33 National Preservation Forum] 'Rolling Stock for Sale' (retrieved 12 August 2019)</ref> In July 2021 it moved to the Nene Valley Railway, having been sold.
