A critical pick made by Hydraulic crane specialists in
Mobile, AL using a P&H 6250 & Manitowoc 2250 |
 |
This is the 4600 Manitowoc Series 4 350 ton crane loaded on
double wide loadboys with 190 ft of main boom, Back in the
seventies I was running this crane when it was new and it is
still running today on the North Slope, Alaska as good
maintenance threw out all the years and it will run for many
more years. |

Here is a photo
of a load test and re-certification job I carried out in Newcastle,
England on the semi2, diving support msv. This is a 250tonne machine
down-rated due to pedestal weld indications. It is seen here going
through it's pace's with 130 TONNE load.
Notice the single part line |

| Notice the men shackling the slings to the lifting lugs some 100feet in height. |
A tandem lift between a one thousand ton crane and a 400 ton crane. A perfect lift with no snags a tribute to the men who worked with me on this project. |

If we had more money we would of got
a bigger rig! |

This is a picture of our Demag 12600
making the world record lift for a single body crawler crane. The
assist cranes are a Liebherr LR1550 and a Demag CC2800. The load
weight was a whopping 1498 short tons. An LLR-1450
is seen in the background. |

 |
This is our Demag CC4800 making a pick of 527 tons at an 85' radius. The load is a
coke loader at a chemical plant in south Texas. This job was 3 months in the planning and went perfectly according to plan. The clearance over the structure was supposed to be 1'3" and was in the end 1' 5". It was a good day.

This picture is a Link-Belt HTC 8670
made in 1/25th scale. It is
fully operational, just like the actual crane. The boom extends
to almost 5' high, and the outriggers function at all three positions
(cab width, intermediate, and full extension). I have
approximately 150 hours in this project.

Talking about a room with a

Thanks Mark from Nebraska for sending in this photo. He is the
operator that is setting this penthouse in place! Good Job! |

The cranes involved in the lift were a Liebherr LTM 1400 with 276,000
lbs. counterweight and guyed boom. A Krupp KMK 8350 with 132,000 counterweight. The
lift is a 200,000 lbs. steel "tub girder" and was set with these cranes in
tandem due to site restrictions. The bulk of these sections were erected alone with
the LTM 1400, with only this one requiring a second crane due to a
lack of access. |

This picture is of us setting a column which weighed 122,000 pounds
at the new Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. We utilized many cranes on this job. A
list of the cranes include a Demag ac 1300, and 435, Manitowoc m-250 and 888, Link-Belt
278, American 8460, 100 ton Link-belt hydro, PPM ATT 1300, Liebherr 190ton hydro and
numerous rough terrain cranes from 90 to 30 tons. By: Ron Dunbar |

Load Testing
 |
You are load testing a crane but don't want to haul test weights or
want to use another crane? Use Water Weights, it's safe and easy. If something should
go wrong just release the water. Theirs no need to use another crane. |

M-1200 - maniasia
 |
Here is a picture of us getting the slings ready for a lift of 680
metric tons off of the jib on the Manitowoc M-1200 Ringer. Machine was rigged with 253'
main boom and 100' of jib. In case your wondering there is just a shade over 2 million
pounds of counterweights. |
| |
AC 1600 - Ryan Box
 |
The boats were built in New Orleans, LA. They weighed
240,000 pounds a piece and the crane was at a 52 feet radius. We had 132 feet of
telescopic boom out. It took about three hours to put the main boom and
superlift in the crane and get on the wooden mats and steel pads. The lifts were done in
about three hours and we disassembled the crane in two hours. The crane was back in the
shop within twelve hours after the crane left out of the shop. Ryan |

Demag TC 3200 - Ryan Box
|
The following is a picture of my latest lift with our
Demag TC 3200 Lattice Boom Truck Crane. It had 354 feet of boom in it and 248 tons of
superlift counterweights and 164 tons of main counterweights. If you need any more
information e-mail me back. I have some more pictures of it with 295 feet of boom and 275
tons of superlift counterweights and 164 tons of main counterweights. We had to run both
configurations on this job.
It took us 24 hours to assemble the first
configurations of 295 feet of boom and 275 tons of superlift counterweights and 08 hours
to change configurations to 354 feet of boom. It took 16 hours to disassemble.
P.S. If you can make it out, the overhead bridge crane is what we tailed the lifts up
with. It is good for about 250 tons. We tailed the lifts up over water and had to dip one
into the water to have the clearance for the bridge crane. |
