Sims Crane client Zabatt Power Systems relied on Sims for a turnkey job including the crane and all equipment, a 3D lift plan, rigging, road closures and detours, and all personnel. Sims used a 450-ton Tadano all-terrain crane for the job. The Sims team also removed an old generator unit before lifting the new unit into place via a window.

Also in Jacksonville, Sims Crane recently handled the lift of a 13,000-pound air-conditioning unit to the top of the historic Barnett Bank building in downtown Jacksonville, part of a major renovation and revitalization project. Local media covered the lift live.

Sims Crane & Equipment has 13 locations in Florida – Daytona Beach, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Miami, Mulberry, Ocala, Orlando, Sarasota, Tallahassee, Titusville, West Palm Beach, Vero Beach and Tampa, where the company is based.
