Pradeep Cranes

We are located over at Lane 6 in Shakti Nagar, specifically at O.P. Vishno on C Road. It’s a bit of a dusty spot, which is expected when you are dealing with cranes and heavy equipment all day long. The yard is usually full of iron and steel, and there’s always the smell of engine oil in the air. We spend our mornings checking the rigs and making sure the cables are okay. It’s physical work and your hands usually end up black by the time lunch rolls around. The lane itself is pretty narrow, so getting the big machines in and out takes some patience and a bit of shouting to guide the drivers. We’ve got a small office room where we keep the maintenance records and take bookings, but mostly we are outside in the yard. It’s not the kind of job where you sit in the AC all day. When it rains, the ground gets muddy and everything takes twice as long, but that’s just how it goes. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a good while, and most of the neighbors know the sound of our engines by now. It’s a simple operation, really—just us, the cranes, and whoever needs something heavy lifted or moved. There’s no fancy lobby or reception desk here, just a workbench and some old chairs for when we need a break. We usually have a stray dog that hangs around the gate waiting for scraps.
