The Mafi is a tractor crane for loading and unloading truck platforms (trailers) in ferries. It is a machine with great maneuverability and power. The operators of the Mafi crane must know very well the driving of this machine, in order to deliver the load properly in the boat, as sometimes they will find difficulties.
