Geikalo commented: “The trust placed in us by our investors will power the next phase of MYCRANE’s growth in the coming 18 months and is an endorsement of our vision to improve the crane rental procurement process, which was outdated and flawed prior to our launch. “This Series A funding marks a milestone in the MYCRANE story. It will help bring our service to more global markets and allow us to keep innovating for the cranes and construction sector.” MYCRANE currently has more than
3,000 registered customers, and more than 15,000 cranes available to hire at the platform.
the embankment can be diverted under the tracks. In addition to lifting and placing the reinforcement mats and the formwork panels, the 40t crane is laying steel pipes, which can weigh up to five
