    Worked across the street from an outfit like yours for 5 years. Never saw a crane coming or going, hell, never seen one being assembled. Y’all sneak out in the middle of the night, right?

      Yeah a lot of late starts early mornings etc.

      They’re also made to go together so with a good crew you can really smash them together in no time

      Not who you were replying to, but I’ve worked in the industry…

      Kinda, yeah. They want them set up super early in the mornings on site so they can get to work.

      Also, lots of them move from site to site directly without returning to the yard. Some of the bigger tower cranes are booked years in advance, so there’s really only down time if a job finishes early.
