MORE CHOICES FOR SMALL LOADS

摘要

A recent development in the industry is the improvement of small deck cranes with three-ton capacities or less. Although there were plenty of larger cranes, "small cranes were few and far between," said Peter Duclos with Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding Corp. in Somerset, Mass. Small deck cranes have gotten more compact and have more capacity for the footprint, Duclos added. That's part of the reason the 64'x21' fast-response boat that Gladding-Hearn will soon start building could prove to be very successful.
