This time of year we get multiple phone calls asking about our equipment works in the cold weather. If you are working with a SmartLift or Spydercrane this winter see these tips and tricks below:
SPYDECRANE 295 COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS:
When operating a spydercrane in temperatures below 32 degrees you will want to do the following:
Spray WD40 in choke and throttle cables to prevent freezing
Plug in cold weather pack- (Keeps Hydraulic Oil Warm)
Keep inside overnight if possible
