Manitowoc 31000

[heavylift]

the main booms are 13'1" wide. 10'6" tall...

I wouldn't be at all shocked to see 1 million as a basic rate..

If its gonna be there full dressed and there for 5 weeks ..yeah sure..too often though the job scope changes once she's there and little changes mean set backs and other issue's ..Its kinda why as an operator ..having a big crane on site ..is a good thing ...chaos = cash !!! ...It takes up space ..it gets priority ,everything gets scheduled around it ...Its fantastic to see how a orchestrated site starts to hit a string of dead notes and broken deadline's when a large unit shows up ...

Why set a 1 mill base price ..knowing full well that its likely to make that much and more once its there set up ....Rarely does a job go by the numbers when large cranes are involved on large sites ..(500+ men).. the smaller jobs are just the opposite ..no overtime and its done well early of the dead line ..unless its a logistical issue with the lift ..

Your just about right on target on that there. Bigger the rig the more money I make as an operator . More likely because of logistic's issues.
