Getting the Most for Your Crane Time
By Brett Martin
Cranes are a critical component on today's masonry job sites. In metropolitan areas or tight working environments, they provide essential assistance in moving materials from ground level to the workers.
"The key benefit of a crane is you can place materials anywhere you need them, on the scaffolding or the floor you're working on," said Jason Smith, salesperson for Tiffen Loader Crane Company in Tiffen, Ohio. "When you have height reaches, cranes lift as high as you could pretty much want them."
The higher the project, the more reliance on cranes: "Anything over the standard forklift height, you have to have a crane at that point," Smith said.
