How we are combatting the Heavy Equipment Operator Strike

Are you aware of the Heavy equipment operator strike? Since June 1st nearly 12 upscale jobsites across Wisconsin scattered through Milwaukee, Waukesha, Kenosha, Racine, Washington and Ozaukee counties have come to a halt. With over 800 heavy equipment operators going on a wage-induced strike there are many problems that arise for construction companies.  Who is running the cranes? Where are they getting cranes from? Most importantly, where do they get the material cages and man baskets from?

Many construction companies subcontract out the crane operations to companies who provide the operators, the heavy equipment, and any other lifting devices.  Lakeshore Industrial provides a multitude of safety solutions when it comes to lifting personnel and materials. When problems like a heavy equipment operator strike arise, companies at times are left with no choice but to cut out the middleman. This brings them right to the source of the solution, with no mark-up costs, accurate lead times, and responsive customer service.

Lakeshore Industrial not only meets but exceeds OSHA standards to ensure that anything being lifted in one of our cages is always safe and secure. Whether it’s forklift, telehandler or crane, we can provide products for any job.
