    “high-efficiency” to describe that crane is stretching the truth a bit. Interesting to see that the crane (made of wood) is even a little more primitive than the Chinese models

      I understand your comment; it is very cost efficient, though, and you’ll have to give a little leeway to a blogger’s writing. Thanks for your feedback; always appreciated.

    Looks like nice stuff,but as always the price is way too high,Brazil mines should be able to buy new expensive cranes for what they want for their granite
