The film highlights the rapid growth of the steel erection industry and the increasing demand for efficient construction equipment. It emphasizes how modern cranes have replaced older methods, improving speed, safety, and precision in large-scale projects. Contractors value mobility, reliability, and advanced features like hydraulic control and Magnetorque systems. The industry’s expansion in both urban construction and mining creates strong opportunities for those with the right machinery. Harnischfeger Corp., originally Pawling and Harnischfeger, was a Milwaukee-based company that specialized in electronic motors, crane design and production, and later the manufacturing of mining equipment. It is now part of Komatsu Limited. 00:00 Main titles.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
