What It’s Ideal For
This crane excels in jobs where space is limited but the loads are substantial:
Structural steel erection on mid-size buildings
Mechanical equipment placement (HVAC, generators, chillers)
Glass and curtain wall installation
Roof-top unit lifts where access is restricted
Industrial maintenance and turnarounds
Confined interior and exterior jobs where larger cranes can’t fit
