I had some training yesterday, Hoisting and Rigging, and we were talking about cranes and how many of them (like most of them) were built before 1970 — so many of the cranes we see might be at least 50 years old. It might explain why these cranes are unused at times. Likely they are not functioning as expected, and parts are harder and harder to come by. But still, for crane companies, it’s still cheaper to repair then build new cranes.
