Experience Counts: The Importance of Having the Right Tools for Successful Crane Operations

At McLeod, we understand that experience counts when it comes to successful crane operations. Our team of professionals has been providing crane hire services for over a decade, and we've developed a reputation for delivering safe and efficient solutions for our clients.


We understand that having the appropriate tools is crucial for accomplishing a task successfully on the first attempt. Additionally, we acknowledge that some tools may be straightforward yet incredibly effective. Case in point...


Nikon Forestry Pro
Specialty Range Finder - Ideal for Crane Site Inspections

That's why we've invested in the latest technology, including the Nikon Forestry Pro Laser Rangefinder, to help us conduct accurate and efficient site inspections.


The Forestry Pro has been designed to make site inspections easier and more accurate than ever before. It's a versatile tool that can remotely measure actual distance, horizontal distance, height, angle, and both the height (vertical separation) between two targets (2-points mode) and angle calculations for height between two points (3-points mode).


We recently spoke with one of our crane site inspectors who has been using the Forestry Pro in his work.


"The Forestry Pro has been a game-changer. It's very easy to use and provides fast and accurate measurements, which helps us to assess the site quickly. We can rely on the device to provide accurate measurements, which helps us to determine the type and size of crane needed for a project.
By having this information, we can send the right crane of the right size to the job, which helps us to ensure that the job is done safely and efficiently."

At McLeod, we understand that professional experience and having the right tools go hand in hand.


That's why we have invested in other cutting-edge technologies such as the Leica RTC360 to ensure that we can provide accurate and efficient solutions for our clients. With the right tools, we ensure that the job is done right the first time, every time.


The Leica RTC360 is a tool McLeod use to create digital twins of complex job sites.
By using the RTC360 for 3D Reality Capture we can ensure our lift plans are exactly whats required.

Experience Counts


Experience counts when it comes to successful crane operations, but having the right tools is just as important. At McLeod we use tools like the Nikon Forestry Pro Laser Rangefinder to help conduct accurate and efficient site inspections, which allows us to choose the right crane with the correct lifting capacity and boom length for a project that little bit more quickly and accurately.


This helps us ensure that the job is done safely and efficiently, which is crucial for the success of any project.
