Personally, I think \"To name but a few of the crane\'s advantages:\" works well after a list, but not before it, as is the case here.

addendum to my agree to Ian's answer


Explanation:
Sorry, pushed the button too quickly.

Although I basically agree with Ian I think "of the" needs adding to show that there are also more benefits

"And here are just a few *of the* advantages..."
