The reconditioning of the rough-terrain crane took just 12 days, meeting the urgency of its new owners who needed it deployed on a project immediately.
The final cost was about 40% of the price of a new crane of the same capacity and included a new manufacturer’s warranty.
The used crane was traded in as part of the payment for two new, higher-capacity Grove cranes.
