Once on site the crane can be plugged into an AC outlet and work all day with limited noise and now emissions. For sites with no power supply a diesel generator can be provided.

The crane will be operated by Simone Bonfanti and Tomaso Ferazzini who said: “Our first impressions of the MK 88-4.1 are extremely positive.
