OFFICE CLOSED FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY

We'll be taking a short break this Independence Day to enjoy fireworks, family, and arguing over who makes the best BBQ. 🌭

Our office will be closed in observance of the holiday and will reopen during normal business hours after the holiday weekend.

Stay safe, have fun, and try not to grill anything that wasn't meant to be grilled. 🎆

Happy 4th of July from all of us at Cranes101!

🌡️ HEAT WAVE SAFETY ALERT 🌡️

The temperatures are rising, but safety should never take a back seat.

Working around cranes, forklifts, MEWPs, and other heavy equipment in extreme heat can increase the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and reduced focus; all of which can lead to serious accidents.

Before you start your shift, remember to:
💧 Stay hydrated (don't wait until you're thirsty!)
☀️ Wear sun protection
🌳 Take breaks in the shade whenever possible
🚨 Know the signs of heat illness
🤝 Check in on your crew throughout the day

The best operators know that staying safe starts with taking care of yourself. A few extra water breaks today could prevent a serious incident tomorrow.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.
