Offloading a LR 11000 track frame in Florida as we set the machine up for what's next.

A crawler this size isn't one crane — it's a kit. Boom, jib, derrick, counterweight, crawlers. Change the configuration and you change what it can reach, what it can carry, and which jobs it fits.

That flexibility is why a machine like this earns its keep.

Caught the sunset right in the hook.

End of the week out on the Texas plains, our LR 11000 block framing the last light over a cut field. Some days the timing just works out.

Hooks down. Weekend's here. Happy Friday from Buckner.

Keeping some of the world’s largest crawler cranes operating safely takes skill, precision and the ability to solve problems wherever the work leads.

Crane mechanics inspect and test equipment, perform maintenance and repairs, diagnose mechanical issues and coordinate critical jobsite service needs. Whether working in the yard or responding in the field, their hands-on expertise helps minimize downtime and keeps our fleet ready for the next lift.

During Careers in Construction Month, we’re proud to recognize the mechanics who help keep our equipment—and our projects—moving forward.

The time to learn how to use a fire extinguisher is not during a fire.

At our annual field team training, every member of our field crew got hands on one — pull, aim, squeeze, sweep — on a live simulator, along with the rest of the fire prevention fundamentals.

Because knowing where the extinguisher is mounted isn't the same as knowing what to do when you're holding it.

T — Think through the task. K — Know the plan. That includes the plan for the thing you hope never happens.

It's Fire Prevention Week. We'd already done the training.

Safety isn't just a priority — it's the foundation of everything we do.

The wind-power dream team at work. 🏗️🤝

The LR 11000 brings the heavy-lifting capacity while the agile LTR 1220 supports the tailing operation, working together to safely rotate and position this wind turbine tower section.

Two cranes. One coordinated lift plan. One team delivering the solution.

POV: your camera roll is 95% cranes, 4% team events and 1% actual life. 😂

Our marketing girl is off today, so we’ll let the evidence speak for itself.

Happy Friday! 🏗️📸
