For sites and yards
Big, awkward loads

Rigging
Machinery is lifted from its lifting points with chains, slings and a spreader bar, so it comes up level and goes down level. Heavy machines lift close to the crane, with up to 4 tonnes within 2 metres.
Example job: a refrigerated truck body, craned on at Pukekohe and off at Clevedon.
