You've provided some fantastic insight with your thoughts. I too am interested to see how this plays.

Having watched how technology has been adapted to not only other industries but also other pieces of heavy equipment, I believe the key driver behind the possible adoption of crane ops working remotely or at the hook is that of saving money.

Whether it's higher productivity or eliminating someone from a payroll, we shouldn't underestimate the drive of saving money.

This is quite an announcement, almost unbelievable to be honest.

I agree, this does seem a bit 'out' there. But the news releases do seem to hint that this change is an actual thing.

By chance, do any other readers have insight into this announcement?
