Yeah a lot of late starts early mornings etc.

They're also made to go together so with a good crew you can really smash them together in no time

Not who you were replying to, but I've worked in the industry...

Kinda, yeah. They want them set up super early in the mornings on site so they can get to work.

Also, lots of them move from site to site directly without returning to the yard. Some of the bigger tower cranes are booked years in advance, so there's really only down time if a job finishes early.

ha! you really thought he would tell you

I can't tell you if I did I would have to kill you.

Nah just lots of trucks often another mobile crane and some good organisation skills.

Along with pins and sledgehammers

draw a circle of transmission fluid where you want the crane and chant CORANON SILARIA OZOO MAHOKE

Presumably they bring someone in to make sure its correct?

I like to think of then as the big boys cranes.

That's a 320tonne Sany lifting a piling module. I took that photo while standing on a 450tone one on a barge the other day
