Panexpert Offers One-Stop-Shop with HIAB
As a respected supplier of trusses, wall panels, and prefabricated housing, Panexpert inc. not only manufacturers their own products, but also assists in their installation. Founded in 1974, Panexpert and associated companies employ 110 people and service Greater Montreal and other areas in the Province of Quebec.
Michel Trudeau, the President of Panexpert, was recently in the market for a new crane offering extra long reach and good lifting capacities. He wanted a crane that his firm could use for the delivery and installation of their manufactured products. The new HIAB 225E-7 articulated crane caught Michel's attention and was purchased for his company.
Panexpert's tractor mounted HIAB 225E-7 crane works well on construction jobs. Michel explains that with the HIAB we can erect a house in a much shorter time due to greater operator efficiency. Also, instead of renting a crane at higher cost, our customers can now rent the HIAB 225E-7 out for installations, saving their customers money, and generating added revenue.
The real benefit of the HIAB 225E-7 comes from the crane's long 73 feet of vertical reach. Designed to reach further and higher, the HIAB 225E uses a patented full sequence cylinder system for seven hydraulic boom extensions. All this in a compact, lightweight crane that folds neatly behind the cab.
The crane works great. Yves Meunier, our operator, is very happy and satisfied with the performance of the 225E and he likes the smooth operation, speed and precision of the unit. The response from customers has been very positive. Calls are now coming in for the services of Panexpert and the HIAB 225E-7.
Michel points out that the crane has opened new markets for us. It saves customer's time and money by allowing them to deal with one company for supplies and installation. As a business investment, Michel says that this is their first HIAB crane, but certainly not their last.
