R.K.G Cranes Services

We are out in Karaipudur at No: 2010 in Chinnakarai. It’s an open area, which is good because these cranes take up a lot of space. Most mornings, the yard is full of activity with the drivers showing up and checking the schedules. R.K.G Cranes Services is just a regular local business. We deal with a lot of dust and the smell of diesel every single day. It isn't a clean job, but someone has to do it. The neighborhood of Chinnakarai has changed over the years, more buildings going up, which keeps us moving. When we aren't out at a construction site, we are right here fixing things. A crane is a complicated machine, so something always needs greasing or a bolt tightened. It’s just me and a handful of workers. We don't use any fancy systems, just a clipboard and a lot of patience. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, either too much rain or that heavy heat that makes the metal too hot to touch. We have some old tires stacked in the corner and tools scattered around the workbench. It’s not a showroom, it’s a working yard. Most of the people who come by are just looking for help with a lift or checking when a machine will be free. We try to keep the machines in good shape so they don't quit on us in the middle of a job. It is hard work, but we are used to the routine and the long days out here.
