Sims on the Job in Bradenton, Florida. Our team used a Tadano 130G-5 160ton crane to assist in upgrading T-Mobile equipment at the top of the 160’H water tower utilizing a manbasket.

With limited access, our team needed to set the crane up in the parking lot across the street. There was not enough space to put the crane on the road without having to put outriggers on the sidewalk and water lines. In order to maintain a safe job site, the street was closed, and we had a spotter there to help stop any pedestrians as we were lifting over the area. The set up was tight, and we took extra precautions to minimize risk of property damage in the borrowed lot.
