Potain Igo Cranes' Small Footprint Saves Space on Apartment Complex Project

'The two Igo T 130s offered extremely compact footprints, the ability to manage the lifts via remote control, and more than enough reach and capacity for the job'

August 15, 2016

At the jobsite, the cranes lifted panelized wood-framed walls and other materials weighing up to 2.2 tons at heights up to 66 feet to complete the apartment complex’s construction. With an 8.8-ton-capacity, the cranes had more than enough capability to handle the lifts.

Load Cells Monitor Weight as Cranes Operate on Temporary Shoring Columns

Forty load cells are used to calculate the total mass and center of gravity of tower cranes and lifted loads during the Century City Mall project in Los Angeles.

An early rendering shows a cross-section beneath the traveling crane. This is an initial concept and not accurate to final installation but it shows where the load cells were placed at the top of a sampling of posts on each level.

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.

First-of-its-Kind Electric Luffing Jib Crane Building San Francisco Skyscraper

Terex Crane Makes Precise Placement of Steel Bridge Over Train Tracks a Snap

Terex Superlift 3800 with extremely sensitive controls was the right piece of equipment for a bridge installation that required precise placement

June 27, 2016

The steel bridge structure was delivered in two sections and welded on-site, resulting in a total weight of 77 tons, including the required slinging gear. After the load was meticulously rigged so that it would be perfectly balanced, the power to the overhead lines was turned off and the precision lifting started.

Terex Crane Keeps French Soccer Stadium Construction on Schedule
