5 Ways a Compact Crane Helps Contractors Work Smarter

Investing in a compact crane for your business can bring big returns for your business and crews.

A full-sized crane is a pricey, cumbersome overkill on many contracting projects. But just because you can’t go big doesn’t mean you can’t go smart. A compact mobile crane may be the contracting equipment investment you need to grow your business. Here’s what a crane like the Equipter CR8000 will do for you, your crew, and your bottom line:

1. Less wear and tear on employees – One recent study found that overexertion and falls were the top two disabling injuries in the U.S. workforce.  Construction workers are particularly vulnerable to those hazards; roofing, carpentry, and other trades take their toll on the body, especially on the muscles, joints, and back. The CR8000 does the heavy lifting so crew members don’t need to, saving wear and tear on the body and reducing the potential for injuries related to hoisting and navigating materials.
2. Reduces labor costs – Mobile cranes, like the CR8000, streamline material handling, letting your crew do more work with fewer employees. In addition, investing in a crane helps avoid the double- and triple material handling that can add hours to payroll.
3. Decreases time on the job – How much money could your contracting company save on each project if it could finish the job a few hours more quickly? Using a compact crane gives you the ability to move heavy or cumbersome materials easily and precisely. This boosts productivity so employees get the job done faster — a surefire way to create happy clients willing to refer your business to others.
4. Easy maneuverability – Our mobile crane is relatively lightweight and features wide tires, allowing a crew member to safely position it on lawns. It offers a tight turning radius as well, making it ideal contracting equipment for small to mid-sized jobsites. What’s more, the CR8000’s maneuverability gives you the option to bid on projects with challenging worksites — jobs you may have been hesitant to bid on previously.
5. Easy to transport — The Equipter mobile crane attaches like a conventional trailer to a truck or van. Once you arrive at the jobsite, use the crane’s gas-powered engine to drive it virtually anywhere on the property.

Whether you need to hoist shingles onto a roof or install a new HVAC unit, the compact, drivable CR8000 may be the contracting equipment you need to work smarter and revolutionize the way you do business. For more information, visit www.equipter.com
