An increase in long-term construction cranes has been recorded across New Zealand over the past six months. Wellington’s RLB Crane Index had another significant rise of 33 points to reach a record high of 200. This growth was caused by three new long-term cranes being placed in Wellington and no removals for the period. With a net increase of one, Christchurch’s long-term cranes have risen to 15 cranes. This additional crane increased the crane index by three points to 48, up from 45 previously.
