Content
You can see them working on the construction site from far away: cranes are the powerhouses next to the excavators. How do they get to the construction site? And how are they set up? Kids can discover how the crane operator gets into her cab and how the fire department's mobile crane helps in accidents by opening lots of flaps. Little technology fans will also learn about special cranes and their uses. In a final search game, they can match different cranes with the right load.
