How it works on your site

The MULE MZ100 is a battery-powered, teleoperated masonry lift-assist arm that makes blocks up to 100 lb feel weightless during placement. It handles CMU, SRW, and oversized 8x8x32 blocks from ground level, scaffold, or mast climbing work platforms; mortar work, cutting, and layout stay with the crew. The MZ100 has been shipping since 2020, co-developed with JLG Industries (Oshkosh Corporation) and sold through an authorized dealer network across the United States.
