Cranesy: What do you love about cranes?
Mike Parnell: I really am impressed with how much a crane can do at such long distances. In talking with a number of crane engineers, they have noted that cranes are fairly delicate machines and they are often amazed at the work produced by a crane when compared to its slender design. When I see booms working at a project site, it reinforces the idea that we have progress in our economy and society. These booms are like the “flag standards of old” carried by armies. The message is that the troops are here and victory will soon follow.
There are two chances to get exclusive instruction from Mike, along with other crane, rigging, and load handling industry experts in 2014.
