What crews tell us.

  • Blade responded to our unscheduled thermal emergency in unprecedented time and delivered a 330 ft machine that gave our crew a far safer and more efficient place to work.

    OIL AND GAS

  • We have used Blade’s 243 ft and 295 ft aerials on multiple projects and will keep doing so. The equipment does not give us trouble and we can travel at up to 35 mph between poles.

    TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

  • After too many standby days we finally moved from ropes and suspended platforms to MEWPs. The reduced downtime and increased productivity alone was a huge factor.

    RENEWABLE ENERGY

entire continent.
