New Energy Installations Call for Advanced Lifting Equipment
With the surge in alternative energy, Manitowoc Cranes aids in the unique construction of solar and wind farms.
August 4, 2016
On this project, Mortenson is using a new wind turbine construction method that would not have been possible with previous generations of crawler cranes: It’s building the 194-ton wind turbine assemblies on the ground first, and then lifting the entire unit 300 ft. into the air before attaching it to the top of the tower. This allows assembly of the unit much faster than in the air, reducing the number of picks and the impact of wind on the project.
