• The homebuilder’s use of the cranes removes the need for forklifts or other material handling machines on site, contributing to quiet, efficient and productive construction.
• The remote operation also drives efficiency, by enabling the operator to move around the site to multiple vantage points and cooperate easily with other trained site personnel.
 

• The 300 USt (250 t) all-terrain crane performed lifts on a busy road and its compact footprint helped make room for other vehicles to travel while the job was being completed.
