Modern Crane vice president of sales Aaron Hanna said: “The crane has the reach we need, and it is easy to set up on job sites where there are potentially impeding obstacles.”

Cropac Equipment president Bill Finkle added: “We expect this crane to be popular throughout the region for a long time to come.”
