RELIEVING MASONS OF 5,000 LB./DAY DUTY
Masonry Advisory Council (Illinois) Executive Director Gary Porter tests Construction Robotics' Material
Unit Lift Enhancer (MULE) at ICON Expo 2018. Operating in mobile or fixed mode from the ground,
traditional scaffold or mast climbing work platforms, MULE features a versatile gripper capable of
handling up to 135 lbs. Construction Robotics underscores the device's capacity to reduce fatigue
and injuries, increase productivity, extend the careers of skilled masons, and attract new talent
to the industry. The Indianapolis demonstration followed the equipment's appearance at World of
