A seemingly endless parade of semi-trucks rolled to a stop at the deep water port in Rogers City this month, loaded with pieces of Moran Iron Work’s newest investment. A Manitowoc 16,000 Crawler Crane. The Manitowoc is currently configured to lift 881,900 pounds, but has the capability of lifting greater weights. This fleet addition will allow for greater ease in the handling of larger components at the deep water port.
