Got stuck on a job in Phoenix with a 200-ton crawler and a 50-ton mobile crane.
The mobile crane kept needing to reposition for every single lift, adding like two hours to our day. Switched to just using the crawler for everything and finished the steel placement in half the time. When do you guys decide to stick with one crane instead of trying to use two?

Been there. Spent more time moving the small crane around than actually lifting. Felt like a clown juggling two machines for no good reason. Sometimes the big iron is just the right tool. Saves the headache and the clock.

Tell me you didn't actually juggle two cranes like grays13 said.

Oh man, that's the classic "help" that isn't. It's like bringing a wheelbarrow to help a dump truck. You spend all your time waiting on the little guy to get out of the way and get set up again. At some point you just have to admit the big machine can do it alone, and stop making extra work for yourself. Two cranes can mean twice the problems, not half the time.
