Cranes & Digger Derricks
Wilco’s amphibious cranes and digger derricks are built for tough environments where standard equipment cannot operate. Designed for use in swamps, marshes, wetlands, and other soft terrain, our digger cranes provide the stability and lifting power contractors and utility companies need to get the job done safely and efficiently. Whether you are setting utility poles, lifting heavy materials, or working in areas with difficult ground conditions, these machines deliver dependable performance.
Advantages of Digger Cranes
Our amphibious digger derricks combine the functionality of a standard crane with the mobility of an amphibious undercarriage. This allows operators to reach remote job sites without the risk of sinking or getting stuck. Key advantages include:
- Superior stability on soft, shifting terrain.
- High lifting capacity for poles, equipment, and construction materials.
- Reduced downtime with reliable performance in environments that stop traditional cranes.
- Versatile applications for utility work, pipeline projects, dredging, and construction in wetlands.
These benefits make Wilco’s digger cranes a cost-effective solution for companies that need safe access to areas where land-based equipment cannot operate.
