Nick Ramakers, Quality Inspector, production cranes
This moment, when you can completely erect a crane for the first time: that's really impressive.
Nick Ramakers ended up at UPERIO Belgium through friends. Every day, he works on our cranes in our depots and on construction sites to get them technically 👌 ready for sale or rental.
According to him, the most beautiful moment is to see the crane you've worked on 🤩 in full glory and prepared for a final check.
