Finding Value on Small and Large Jobsites

At Tricon Construction Group, a general contractor based in Dubuque, Iowa, self-erecting cranes are routinely in use at water and wastewater treatment facilities, school and pre-engineered metal building jobsites and on a variety of other projects. In 2016, the company purchased a 42M Vicario self-erecting crane that is still in use. 

When Tricon was recently in the market to purchase a new self-erecting crane, they worked with Creative Lifting Services. “They chose to go with the 24M FB Gru self-erecting crane,” said Kelly Webb, VP at the dealership. “This crane provided the capabilities Tricon needed, and it weighs under 30,000 pounds so it can be towed with a one-ton non-CDL pickup truck with ball, pintle or kingpin hitch options.”
