Heavy lifting operations play a pivotal role in construction and plant maintenance projects, from petrochemical plants to civil construction and from wind power plants to major industrial operations. Heavy lifting support is required for new construction and maintenance throughout industrial facilities. Mobile cranes are also needed for scheduled maintenance or for quick response in emergency situations. Safety is the most important factor in heavy lifting operations. Protecting the personnel involved, the load capacity, all equipment and adjacent structures is paramount. They must also be configured to achieve optimal project efficiency to maximize uptime. Efficient execution is critical to a project's schedule and budget, as large-scale lifting operations often come in unexpectedly significant situations.
