Rigging
In order to set the machine as a 1 piece package we will require some rigging. The rigging can be supplied by the crane operator or you could build and keep a re-usable set of spreaders. Keep in mind that crane time is EXPENSIVE! If this machine ends up at 110,000# we will need the biggest of the big cranes from the twin cities. Probably a second crane to act as a counterweight. Even with that the crane is going to have to be able to get in pretty close to the final resting place of the machine. That will be around $500 - $600 per hour and that includes drive time and set up time.
