10 Things We'll Need to Know Before We Begin

1 | Size & weight of Object that will need to be lifted
2 | Height of the building object is being lifted up onto
3 | How far back on the building will the object sit
4 | How close to the building can our mobile crane get?
5 | What are the conditions of the ground?

6 | Can it support the outriggers safely?
7 | Are there any underground tunnels or utilities?
8 | Are there any overhead power lines which will effect the lift?
9 | Is there clear access for the crane to get to the job site?
10 | Will the object require any special rigging for the lift? (spreader bars etc.)
