Cranes named by children to build hospital Early construction works are now complete with the help of our tower cranes 'Hefty' and 'Monty'. The 'Name the Crane' competition, which was held during National Children's Week in October 2014, gave young patients the chance to name the tower cranes that will help build the new Monash Children's Hospital. The two winning entries were submitted by Mitchell, aged 6 and James, aged 4.
