CraneMate

Reach All LLC

Cranes/Lifts

CraneMate is a sign installer's dream platform. Convert your boom truck to a Skywalk type platform. Quickly attaches to any boom truck. Self contained hydraulic power allows for auto hydraulic leveling and 180 degrees of rotation. Safe, and secure the platform can position workers and signs exactly where they need simultaneously while positioning boom tip to work area - it is only possible with the CraneMate due to the smooth self contained hydraulics. Antiquated gravity leveling is not safe and does not allow for rotating platform loads while boom is in motion. With the optional mini platform jib winch one person can do the work of several and eliminates the need fora second boom truck. The longer 3 m (10 ft) platforms allows more room for material and workers to complete the job faster, often eliminating that second day of travel or a second truck. Convert your crane into a state of the art super sign truck. www.reachallplatforms.com
