Have you found yourself needing to crawl a crane and wanting to avoid a full disassembly, but it’s recently rained and the ground is softer than you’re comfortable with? Enter - “Tank Mode” - a nickname for the crane having a short partial boom at a low boom angle. This keeps the center of gravity low to the ground, the boom in a stable position, and cuts weight off the crane, decreasing ground bearing pressure. Tank mode is useful when crossing pipelines or other underground utilities, as well as ducking under power lines. Our engineers are critical to this process! They manually calculate the balance between the boom sections installed and how much counterweight should remain on the superstructure, and determine the resulting machine weight and track pressures. #BucknerHeavyLiftCranes #Buckner #findyoursolution #crawlercranes #funfactfriday 📸 Jonathan Rutherford

Moving equipment across the country 24/7 takes a whole lot of people and communication to make sure the right equipment gets to the right place on time. Without our transportation team, our machines would not get from the yard to the job site that they belong. This is another necessary career path that Buckner is proud to offer & continuously looking to fill positions for. And a career that a lot of people do not realize might exist! This is why it is our responsibility and honor to be a SC&RF Workforce Ambassador so that we can bring awareness to all of the careers in our industry! -- https://lnkd.in/gEBS_Kep #BucknerHeavyLiftCranes #Buckner #findyoursolution #crawlercranes #workforcewednesday #workforceambassador

Great visit with our Phoenix STG team a few days ago. They're giving the technology of modular housing a huge lift. Note the washer/dryer ready to go. Well done!!

The #Liebherr LR 13000 suspended tray can be configured with three stacks or five stacks of counterweight, and when fully loaded weighs 1,500 metric tons or 3.3 million pounds! It provides the rearward leverage to allow the LR 13000 to lift up to 3,000 metric tons, or 6.6 million pounds. For smaller lifts between the heavyweight lifts, the tray can easily be disconnected by pulling two pins, reducing the crane's footprint and providing a great deal of flexibility. #BucknerHeavyLiftCranes #Buckner #findyoursolution #crawlercranes #FunFactFriday 📸 David James
