Power and Precision: CROFTON’s Heavy Lift at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel

Here’s a look at The Samson providing lift and transport services at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, working alongside another crane on site. When a section of the bridge needed to be removed due to damage to one of the piles, Samson was right there, lifting and moving the section with precision and power.
 
Our team was proud to provide expert equipment and skilled professionals during this critical operation — getting the job done safely and smoothly.
