What we do?
Hoist and Transport Platforms
Reliable and efficient. Our hoists are equipped with state of the art variable frequency control resulting in unparalleled reliability.
Our hoists are accompanied with dedicated construction grade communications so operations can communicate and receive emergency calls from every landing.
Every unit is reconditioned between every job and is tested on our test tower prior to mobilization.
Tower Cranes
Proud to represent Linden Comansa tower cranes from Spain, this European manufacturer of tower cranes has deep roots in the tower crane industry. With its cutting edge flat top design these machines are easy, fast and safe to assemble.
Carrying a fleet of City class flattops we aim to provide tower crane service for mid-rise construction. These small tower cranes can bring a higher level of coverage and efficiency to your projects. The LC132 and the LC5211 can also be erected on a ballast cross frame eliminating the need for a foundation.
Mast Climbing Work Platforms
Julian introduced the Boston market to Mast-Climbers in the early 90's. Now it continues its Mast-Climber heritage with the Fraco ACT-8.
By far the most efficient and safe way to do any exterior work on a project old or new. Waterproofing, Masonry, glazing, panels, roofing, the list goes on and on. These machines do it all for all trades.
