What is the Scott-Macon difference? The Scott-Macon difference breaks down into three major components. First, we are totally committed to the finest and most efficient service experience for you. We stand behind your organization with our crane repair and service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Second, and just as important, is our experienced and knowledgeable group of service technicians. The average tenure for one of our service techs is over 5 years, and many of our mechanical experts boast over 20 years of service. Third, we maintain and staff an extensive network of Repair Centers from which our maintenance crews are dispatched. When you combine these attributes, they spell "excellence" for your service experience. Let's examine them, one by one:

What can a Broderson Crane do for your next project? The short answer is to bring the finest quality performance and rugged construction to your job site. The right tools make the toughest jobs easier, and Broderson Cranes are the right tools for Rough Terrain or Industrial jobs. Broderson Manufacturing has been building cranes that are versatile, durable, and of the highest quality for 45 years. Broderson specializes in Rough Terrain and Industrial Cranes. 

Boasting the largest lifting capacity of Tadano's rough terrain cranes, the Tadano GR-1600 can lift up to 160 US tons. When coupled with its innovative, six-section round telescoping boom, its 201.1 feet lifting height and its compact design, the Tadano GR-1600 ushers in a new era of maneuverability and lifting capacities for today's job site. 

Terex Cranes have the reputation for being competent, durable workhorses that do not let you down. Their many operator-friendly features make them favorites at the worksite, as well. Rough terrain brings special challenges that require toughness and maneuverability.

The Terex Quadstar 1100 is the finest of rough terrain cranes, with proven maneuverability and ground clearance suitable for the most rugged conditions. The Quadstar 1100 combines durability and flexibility with low ownership cost. All features are built for operation in rugged terrain and conditions. Typical operating functions for the Quadstar 1100 are bridge building, large-scale construction, and refinery or other plant projects. But this crane will go anywhere that it is needed.

Combine a maximum capacity of 80 US tons, the ability to get on the highway and tackle rough terrain with ease and the result is the Terex T 780 crane. With a 450 horsepower engine and an enhanced 126-foot maximum boom length, the Terex T 780 is a tough and versatile addition to any job site.

Standard truck-mounted cranes may work just fine for most construction sites, but uneven terrain and difficult conditions call for a crane that offers more. The Tadano All Terrain Crane ATF 220G-5 is the perfect choice for medium to large scale erection and construction work in areas with limited access. With 5 axles to support a surprising 350-ton maximum lift capacity, there's little chance of this crane moving or sliding even when parked on a steeply sloped area

Using the right tool for any job is vital. We all know that. But a tool that is right for any number of jobs can be a game changer. Versatility directly equates to performance, economy, and efficiency. The Tadano ATF 130G-5 All Terrain Crane offers the perfect combination of mobility and versatility for jobs in rough or any other terrain, especially where transport is a factor. The ATF 130G-5 is equally comfortable at highway speeds or on rugged job sites. The 5-axle setup with 2 Mercedes-Benz engine configuration allows rapid deployment, where needed, in the most economic, efficient manner.

The old adage "use the right tool for the job," holds true no matter what tool you're using, from a simple screwdriver to the largest, most versatile cranes manufactured in the world today. Although today's cranes definitely aren't simple, this principle certainly applies. It all about getting the right tool  for your project. 

With a 360-degree load radius, the Terex Crossover 8000 Boom Truck out lifts other boom trucks in North America. The Terex Crane also features an 80-ton capacity and 126-feet boom length. It also offers the same upper structure and load ratings as the Terex T780 Truck Crane, whether lifting from rear, front or sides.
