Video: Maeda MC285 in Action

When most people think of the massive San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, few even consider it could have tight working spaces. But Golden State Bridge Inc. and Bigge Crane & Rigging knew working underneath the 30 acre bridge spanning from San Francisco to Oakland would present certain lifting space and access challenges. That’s why they chose the Maeda MC285-2 Mini Crane to work on an elevated platform 160’ off the ground. Overall MC285-2 weight, and tight workspace under the bridge made the MC285 the perfect equipment to hoist steel panels.
