In addition, a variety of attachments are available for the GHC cranes, including an auger attachment and pole claw. This means that it will be able to drill holes with the auger and lift poles with the claw using only one crane compared to conventional which few cranes has to be deployed. It reduces manpower to only one operator and rigger to save time and money.
