Crane Hot Line

We had the privilege of attending High Caliber Cranes' first-ever Customer Day this week. The event showcased their partnership with XCMG Group, featuring demos, great food, giveaways and an incredible turnout. XCMG leadership and technical personnel were on-site to connect with attendees and answer questions. The highlight of the day was seeing Osorio Tree Service complete the purchase of their second boom truck from High Caliber Cranes—and drive it off the lot to its new home that very same day! Congrats to High Caliber Cranes on a successful event! 👏 #CraneHotLine #XCMG #HighCaliberCranes #Cranes
