Vimal Crane

We’ve been parked over here at Plot A-49/1 in the Taloja Industrial Estate for a while. If you know where the Raisat Weigh Bridge is, we are basically right next door in the MIDC area. Working with cranes is heavy work, and it's mostly what we do all day long. The yard gets dusty and the sun can be pretty rough out here in Taloja, but we don't mind much. It’s a practical business. We have the machines lined up and ready for when someone calls. Most of the guys here have been operating these things for years, so they know the sounds the engines make when they're running right. We aren't a big corporate office with fancy suits. It’s mostly boots and grease around here. Vashi isn't too far, but we spend most of our time right in the heart of the industrial zone. Things move slow sometimes, waiting for the next job, but when it’s busy, it’s really busy. We just try to keep the equipment in good shape so nothing breaks down in the middle of a task. It’s a straightforward way to make a living. You won't find us talking about big goals or anything like that. We just focus on moving things from one spot to another and making sure the cranes are handled right. It’s what we know. The coffee here is usually cold but the cranes are always hot and ready.
