Not stated in the film, but I'd guess this is a BR home-made experimental crane at one of the Hertfordshire depots where they did experimental things. No plate seen but looks brand new for film date. By 1966 it had become a Jones Iron Fairy Garnet.

It's a production Taylor Jumbo Crane.

Taylor invented the 360deg. rotary hydraulic coupler now universal on all cranes and excavators .
Before this hydraulic cranes and excavators could only swing part way round as they coiled up seperate hoses.
