From our Erection Engineer Klaas De Brabander on site in Bangladesh After the swift installation of the first E-Crane earlier this month, it was E-Crane engineer Klaas De Brabander who travelled to Bangladesh for the final stages of this impressive project. The experienced and motivated team from our dealer Maple Leaf performed exceptionally well and this resulted in an already partially assembled crane when Klaas arrived on site. Once the erection teams were united the crane was safely put together. [frame link=”http://www.e-crane.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/P1060695BIS.jpg”...
