Tippu Crane

Down in Viratnagar, Bommanhalli, you’ll find us at Tippu Crane. It’s mostly just big machines and grease around here. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a good bit. People call us when they have something too heavy to move by themselves. Most of the time, it's construction stuff or maybe a broken-down truck that needs a lift. The yard gets pretty dusty, especially when the wind kicks up near the main road. It isn't a desk job, that’s for sure. We spend most of the day out on the rigs or checking the cables. My hands are usually dirty by ten in the morning. I usually have a cup of tea in the morning before the first call comes in. Bommanhalli is a busy area, so getting the cranes through traffic is always a bit of a headache. You have to time it right or you’ll be stuck for an hour just going a couple of kilometers. We don’t have a fancy waiting room or anything like that. If you come by, you’ll probably see us working on one of the engines or tidying up the gear. It’s honest work. We just show up, do the lift, and head to the next spot. Sometimes the weather makes it tough, like when it pours rain and the ground gets all muddy, but the work doesn't stop. We've been part of this neighborhood for a while, just doing our thing with the heavy lifting and keeping the yard in order.
