The policy for use of the Cranes at Camera Crane Scotland is that only experienced and approved specialist crane operators and technicians will be supplied to go out with the crane(s).  this is not Dry Hire Equipment.  there is always a minimum of 2 persons in charge of a crane on a shoot and ideally there should be 3 crew allocated to the use of the crane especially during shoot time.
