Southern Crane Thrilled with U2 Claw

In a press release sent today, the company Southern Crane, which was contracted to help assemble the U2 Claw in Raleigh, NC called their experience with Live Nation and U2 a “thrill.”

President of Southern Crane, Earl Johnson, III commented “I’m proud of my team for exceeding LiveNation’s exacting standards. We committed nearly 300 workman hours to the stage assembly and breakdown. So, it’s important to remember that all one million pieces have to fit together perfectly, and the job was completed flawlessly.”
