Magni RTH Telehandler Puts Carver Construction Ahead of Schedule

Carver Construction attributes use of Magni RTH 8.25 SH rotating telehandler for being ahead of schedule in the construction of the 180,000-sq.-ft. Nucor steel building in Albany, NY. The project involved constructing the pre-engineered steel structure that will eventually be used to store salt. The structure is 400 ft. wide, 450 ft. long and 74 ft. tall at its peak.
When Carver first began planning the project, it was concerned about lifting the 11,000-lb. steel rafter beams to 74 ft. In the past, on similar projects, Carver would bring in a crane. After talking to Magni dealer Walter S. Pratt and Sons Inc., Carver decided that using a Magni RTH 8.25 SH rotating telehandler would be a better option. The model RTH 8.25 SH has a maximum lifting capacity of 17,600 lbs. and lifting height of 81 ft.
According to Joseph Navarro, general manager of construction for Carver, the telehandlers provided a much better solution. At the time of our interview Navarro stated that they were a week and a half ahead of schedule.
