Looking Back: McLeod Cranes' First Blog Posts in 2005


McLeod Cranes has been providing crane services since its inception in 1996. However, it was in 2005 that the company made its first website blog post, which captured its early history. In this post, we will take a trip down memory lane and look at the very first posts that McLeod Cranes shared with its audience.

From a picture of the old yard on Aerodrome Rd featuring the six cranes to a lift at Baykels where a surveyor is leveling the vessel, these posts were a testament to the company's vision and commitment to excellence.

Over the next few months, we are going to have a look at some of the older posts that were featured on our original website. It'll be a bit of a blast from the past.


McLeod Cranes' Early Days: In 2005, McLeod Cranes was a well-established crane company with a strong focus on safety and quality.


Its first blog post featured a picture of the old yard on Aerodrome Rd featuring the six cranes that were the backbone of the company's operations. This picture was a testament to the company's humble beginnings and a reminder of how far it has come.


Lifting a New Vessel:

The second blog post showcased McLeod Cranes' expertise in lifting heavy loads with precision. The post featured a lift at Baykels where the company was pictured lifting a new vessel. The surveyor was also present on site to ensure that the vessel was leveled accurately. According to the surveyor, the vessel was out by about 13mm on the first placement. Not bad considering it's height.


Looking back at McLeod Cranes' first blog posts in 2005 is a reminder of how far the company has come. From its humble beginnings in 1996 to becoming a leader in the industry, McLeod has stayed true to its commitment to excellence. Its early history serves as a testament to the company's vision, hard work, and dedication to providing quality crane services. We hope you join us in the coming months as we revisit some of our older posts and take a trip down memory lane.
