Looking for a safe and productive solution for your next construction project? Check out our Mast Climber Monday blog post, featuring a project we worked on with Trinity Masonry a few years ago. Using Hydro Mobile M2 Mast Climbers with a M2 Hoist, our team helped keep the First National Bank project in Killeen, Texas running smoothly and efficiently. With a hoist capacity of 4,000 pounds and spacious 7' front-to-back mast climber decks, these reliable and efficient machines provided a safe and productive work environment. Don't miss the photos from the construction process! Contact us at Spec Rents to learn how we can help you increase productivity and safety on your next project, no matter the size or complexity.

Project Highlight: Frisco Station
Frisco Station is a 7 floor hotel project located in Frisco, Texas. The contractor, Design Construction, has years of experience in hotel projects and made the wise decision to use Hydro Mobile Mast Climbers to increase their productivity on this difficult stack-bond brick project.
This project is a challenge with the multiple returns, in addition to it being stack-bond pattern, requiring quality workmanship from the masons. The Hydro Mobile M2 Mast Climbers are versatile enough to provide the mason with a quick setup around corners and keep the flow going all the way up.
The above area shows a return that they were able to easily setup to cover the stairwell. The smaller length of the stairwell wall required the use of a 14’ M2 Hydro Mobile Mast Climber vs. the traditional 24’ M2 units used on other areas of the job. The 14’ M2 unit is able to provide the same large capacity of 22,000 lbs, a 7’ deep work platform, and stability of having two masts vs. using a single mast system.
Additionally, Design Construction used the M2 Hoist for this project to keep the masons continually stocked. At a capacity of 4,000 lbs and speed of 65 ft per minute, these hoists will keep production going, even after you’ve outreached your forklift.
Being their first project with mast climbers, Spec Rents held a full installation and dismantle training course for their E&D crew. Our instructors spent multiple days assisting in their first setups and going back out to assist with dismantling and moving units to additional setups.
If you’ve got a construction project coming up that you’re considering mast climbers on but haven’t taken the leap and have questions, give us a call. We’re happy to walk you through the process to find the best solution for your specific challenges.

Project Highlight - Republic Square, Austin, Texas
A few months back, Spec Rents was called in to provide equipment to Camarata Masonry Systems (CMS) for the Republic Square project in downtown Austin, Texas. Using the Hydro Mobile M2 Mast Climber units with a monorail system allows CMS to set very large GFRC panels thanks to the large capacity and versatility that these units provide. Additionally, the M2 mast climbers can fit into the tight space in the back alleyway by removing the bases and using mast base plates to maintain access for traffic. See below for some photos of the project’s progress, using Hydro Mobile Mast Climbers.
Spec Rents is proud to be part of this beautiful masonry project with the wonderful CMS team. You can check out other Spec Rents projects on our Projects Page. Learn more about the amazing work of Camarata Masonry Systems at http://www.camaratamasonry.com/
