Over $4B is wasted every year on redundant data gathering, project delays, and accidents.
Crane & Heavy Haul spends over $250B every year planning specialized, high-risk projects.
Unfortunately, the current planning tools available to the industry are generalized and outdated. Paper forms, Microsoft Excel, and a few 90s-era software programs are at the forefront of crane & heavy haul planning. This translates to underutilized assets, inefficient workforce, and accidents.
Trucking companies, insurance companies, and taxpayers are footing the bill for improperly routed oversize loads.
Finding the right route and permits for an oversize load requires navigating a web of DOT websites and hours of detective work. Even with this preparation, delays due to permit changes and accidents are common.
There are over 15,000 bridge-vehicle collisions in the United States every year.
"Now more than ever, 95% jobs need detailed planning. It's creating a bottleneck for us before the job has even started. The software we have today isn't fast or easy to use."
Brett Krage, Senior Account Executive at a major U.S. crane company

Modular construction is growing at 8% to $271B and wind power is growing at 9.3% to $127B by 2030
Modular construction and wind power are driving unprecedented demand for our customers
As construction turns to prefab for cost and time savings, they are increasingly reliant on crane & heavy haul companies to ensure the project supply chain isn't interrupted. These companies are also sprinting to keep up with demand for wind power having just eclipsed coal as a U.S. energy producer. Some are opening entire wind divisions.
