Hi,
Do the following:
1) Drag in a network node (anywhere)
2) connect the crane to the netork node (A connection > red line apperas)
3) reset and run the model, an error will appear (about not reaching a destination).
4) delete the network node, lLeaving the model as it was. But now you will see the crane move to the machine when it is requested.

Because the Crane is not connected to a navigator, it doesn't do travel tasks. To get a crane to travel, it must do offset travel (traveltoloc, tavelrelative, load, unload).

DJ's solution is a kludge that connects the crane to the DefaultNavigator so that it responds to travel tasks.

Attached is another solution. I modified the "Use Operator with Animation" pick option in the Pick Operator trigger so that it creates a custom task sequence that uses TravelToLoc instead of Travel. This is how you should call a crane for setup or processing time.
