No fear of heights!! Likes to work alone, and under pressure.

The most popular guy at the docks is the Gantry Crane Operator. He has the hardest job and everyone wants it. He flies solo in his crane with a bird?s-eye view of the ship and the dock.

Dock Gantry Crane Operators think for themselves and plan out their own day. The beads of sweat are like fuel as the pressure of making one little mistake while working with a multi-tonne piece of machinery can cost millions of dollars. Through the glass floor of the crane, the Dock Gantry Crane Operator is the pulse of the dock as he looks over his days? work from 200 feet in the air. In the giant containers that look so small are electronics, lawn furniture, and Air Jordans. He may move steel for a living but the exciting, high-pressure job of the Dock Gantry Crane Operator means that his nerves have to be made of steel as well.
