Since 1966, when Bud Bushnell first acquired a material lift that used bottled compressed air, the Genie brand has been experimenting with compression, hydraulics, and new mechanical engineering techniques and concepts. Although recently purchased by Terex, the Genie brand is steeped in history, long-lasting customer relationships, and innovation, and their products retain the historic name. From the Genie Hoist (1966), the first lightweight, manual/portable forklift, to various vertical manlifts, to the Genie SX™-180 (2013), a boom lift with a 180-foot vertical lift and 80 feet of horizontal motion, Genie lifts have time and again proved their “reach.”

Carry deck cranes are small four-wheeled cranes that house a 360-degree rotating boom within the center of the machines. Aside from their rotating boom, these cranes also house an operator cab at one end, beneath the boom. As a leading provider of used Terex equipment for sale, we stock a wide range of construction equipment. Our inventory includes carry deck cranes, boom lifts, compressors, excavators, dozers, and so much more.

Advantages of Carry Deck Cranes

For many job sites, carry deck cranes are a premium solution due to their versatility in the tasks that they can accomplish in construction scenarios. These cranes are low profile and compact, with the ability to simultaneously maneuver through tight spaces without clearing obstacles overhead. They are typically equipped with hydraulic controls that assist with precise and smooth operations. They can withstand upwards of 15 tons, with pickup capacities of over 9 tons on specific models, making them incredibly useful for many construction sites.

What are Carry Deck Cranes Used for?

Carry deck cranes have many different uses. Primarily, these machines are used to transport materials around job sites. Due to the smaller stature of the carry deck crane, they can easily hoist large amounts of materials in confined spaces. Such materials can be loaded directly onto the crane deck and moved to another location on the job site. Due to their ability to transport and hoist materials, combined with super-efficient navigation, carry crane decks are a welcome addition to most job sites.

Essential Safety Information

To legally operate a carry deck crane, drivers must be certified for compliance with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) rules. Certifications can be accredited through audited employer programs and crane operator testing organizations such as the NCCCO (National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators).

No matter how difficult a construction or contracting job may be, having reliable equipment is essential in ensuring the safety and protection of yourself, and those around you. At Worldwide Construction Equipment, Inc., we have used heavy equipment for sale to carry out job site duties. We carry brands from reputable manufacturers to supply our customers with top-quality, high-performance equipment to aid any operation.  

One essential piece of equipment that we carry include scissor lifts. Scissor lifts are designed to elevate workers on a job site, along with their tools, supplies and other heavy equipment. The industrial machinery uses a criss-cross support that lifts the platform vertically. There are many uses and benefits of scissor lifts that make it one of the most utilized heavy duty equipment on job sites — here is a list of four benefits:

 

Access Hard-to-Reach Areas

Scissor lifts can be used in environments that require workers to reach various heights that would be otherwise difficult or hazardous with traditional ladders and scaffolding. Their large platforms enhance stability, which makes it a safer alternative to ladders. Carrying heavy equipment can be quite straining and cumbersome, especially on a job site that requires you to access heights that are hard to reach. Scissor lifts have different height and weight capacities that will help you decide which will be the most productive and useful on your job site.

 

Various Uses

Not only are scissor lifts used to safely lift workers for construction and contracting, but there are many other job sites that require elevation equipment. They can also be used for cleaning gutters, washing windows, exterior painting, trimming trees, or accessing high shelves in a warehouse.

 

Easy-to-Use

Scissor lifts are relatively easy to operate, making them the optimal choice for job sites. The simplicity of the controls allows tired operators to complete tasks quickly and efficiently.  

 

Compact Storage

Construction and job sites are filled with large and heavy equipment that are sometimes difficult to store. When fully retracted, scissor lifts take up very little space. They are ideal for environments that require speed and flexibility, as they can be quickly accessed and operated.
