RS 1091 was the first of the two cranes to be acquired by the SVR, arriving from Chester in June 1977. It was paired with a Cowans Sheldon 4-wheeled Crane Jib Runner numbered BR DB 998524. The crane was first used in the construction of [[Bridgnorth Loco Works|Bridgnorth Loco Shed]] and later on other civil engineering projects including the installation of the [[Highley#Water tower|water column at Highley]] in 1981 and [[Bridgnorth Bypass Bridge]], as well as being used for boiler lifts and other heavy work on the railway. RS 1087 (works number 60) arrived in August 1982, having been acquired to assist with the Bridgnorth Bypass Bridge construction although ultimately not being used for that purpose.<ref name = SVR9/>

Having been unsuccessfully advertised for sale, one of the two cranes was cut up for scrap at Bridgnorth in August 2010 with certain parts being retained for spares.<ref>[httphttps://forum.svrasvr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1689 SVR-Online forum 2010 thread]</ref> The running gear of the surviving crane carries the manufacturer’s plate with works number 60, suggesting that the survivor is RS 1087. However the cab carries the number ADM 1091/30.
