Are you in the HVAC or power generation industry and need the best piece of equipment to transport your equipment to job sites? So did our customer. When this customer came to us, they explained what they would be using their new crane build for and their current pain points. Together, we designed a custom build to help alleviate unnecessary stress on the job. This build will be used to transport HVAC and power generation equipment. The equipment they transport is towable which is why there is minimal amount of deck past the rear axle, and the pintle and tail skirt are flush due to the short hitch reach on the equipment they tow. These minor extra features make all the difference for the crane operator.
