Cost Counts. At a time when construction costs are rising
almost as fast as healthcare costs, it pays to find new ways to reduce overhead
costs. Because the Gripper™ reduces the time required to lift and set trusses, valuable savings can be achieved on
labor and crane rental charges. A reduction in the likelihood of fall-related injuries provides additional cost
savings.
Depending on the size of the project, cost savings can equate to several
thousand dollars, meaning that the Gripper™ can easily pay for itself after
only one job. Consider that the cost to rent a crane with an operator is approximately $150 per hour; add to that the
cost of labor at $25 per hour per man. In addition, the average medical cost to treat a broken arm, a common and
relatively minor fall related injury, is $1100. Every injury prevented and every hour saved reduces overhead costs and
adds to the profitability of the project.
