We caught up with a mason contractor recently after completing their first masonry project using MULE, and this is what they had to say.
The units being installed were 16x16” CMU – definitely not the fastest units to install, as any mason will tell you. Adding to the already cumbersome process, was the rebar scheduling. Two #6 rebar per core were run high overhead, making installation a meticulous process. However, with the MULE handling the weight of the CMU, the masons were now able to finesse the block up and over the rebar, resulting in a 25% INCREASE in production vs their typical production rate on this type of wall construction.
However, the biggest benefit noted by the contractor was not in the production increase he saw…
Injuries are costly to any business, from downtime, workers' comp, and potential turnover. For this contractor, finishing a job with zero injuries and seeing the improved morale of a healthier happier team was the biggest win.
(Contractor's name omitted at their request out of consideration for injury cases sited.)
