The Link-Belt 120RT is rated for 120-ton base rating and offers a 164-ft. main boom, a 58-ft. bi-fold fly and weighs under 95,000 lbs, with the counter weight removed.
In July 2010, PC Construction and its Special Projects Group resurfaced a dam, and to get the job done PC worked with Woods CRW in South Burlington, Vt. Fast forward 10 years to now, and PC Construction returned to do new work at the dam, and again chose to partner with CRW for the right equipment needed. This included innovative solutions, including using a Link-Belt 120RT crane, the first crane of its kind delivered in the northeastern United States. Ten years ago on the original project, a crane was needed to get equipment in place at the worksite and PC Construction used a Link-Belt TCC750 telescoping crawler crane to do the job. However, this time around, the job called for heavier lift capacity than what that category of machine could handle. In most cases like this, a lattice boom crane would be used, but having to transport the crane through a small area and path with 13 ft. of clearance would not work. For a solution, PC Construction partnered with Woods CRW, with whom it has a decades-long relationship. “Back in the early 1960s, when CRW got its start as a construction equipment supply house, Bob Wood was selling wheelbarrows to the Pizzagalli family,” Chris Palmer, president of Woods CRW, said. “Our company is built on relationships, so when we get an opportunity to work together and solve a challenge from a customer like PC Construction it becomes a number one priority.” Traditionally, the challenge presented with this particular project could only be solved using a lattice boom crane and it was highly unlikely that, short of building a new road, a lattice boom crane could be erected on this site. The solution was found in a new model rough-terrain crane just introduced by Link-Belt, the model 120RT. This new rough-terrain crane met the capacity and reach needed for the job at hand and was going to be made available just in time for the project. continued on page 10
CREWS DEPEND ON LINK-BELT 120RT TO MEET PROJECT GOALS
“The Link-Belt 120RT has a 120-ton base rating and offers a 164-foot main boom, a 58-foot bi-fold fly and weighs under 95,000 pounds for transportation purposes, which made it easily transportable in two loads, thus making it the perfect fit for this project,” according to Chris Palmer, president of Woods CRW. from page 9
“The Link-Belt 120RT is rated for 120-ton base rating and offers a 164-foot main boom, a 58-foot bi-fold fly and weighs under 95,000 pounds with the counter weight removed, which made it easily transportable in just two loads, thus making it the perfect fit for this project. This crane is in a class of its own,” Palmer said. The Link-Belt 120RT comes with a host of features, including: • Simple operation — four boom extend modes • Link-Belt Pulse 2.0 — total crane operating system with V-CALC and telematics • Counterweight consists of three 9,600lb. (4354.5 kg) counterweight for multiple transport and life scenarios • Link-Belt’s SmartFly option features four offset positions (0, 15, 30 and 45 degrees) • Boom wear pads have teflon pucks that lubricate the boom sections (greaseless boom) • Vision Package with full LED lighting package with three onboard cameras • Transports at under 95,000 lbs. (43,092 kg) • 0 to 20-degree tilting cab • Bluetooth AM/FM radio with auxiliary input • Time delayed wipers • Internal rated capacity limiter bar • Integrated air conditioning with automatic temperature con-
trol — standard • Single or dual axis controller options • All gauges and switches are backlit for enhanced visibility in low light conditions • 24 Volt electrical system • Greaseless 4-link suspension on the rear axle with an optional hydro-gas ride system • 4 steering modes • Full-length flat deck with integrated steps and handholds After weighing several factors, Woods CRW made the decision to add the Link-Belt 120RT to the rental fleet specifically for PC Construction and the dam project, making it the first crane of its kind delivered in the northeastern United States. According to Palmer, several factors played into Chris Palmer the decision. Woods CRW “Certainly, our long-term relationship with PC Construction was part of the formula,” he said. “We always want to be in the position of being a part of the problem-solving equation when it comes to working with key partners. However, down the road, we see a lot of rental opportunity for this machine. A rough-terrain crane with this amount of boom and great capacities at radius. certainly opens up a lot of new rental opportunities. “The economics of transportation and setup was another driving factor in our decision,” he added. “Until now, a 120-ton crane that can be transported in two loads has been virtually unheard of.
“We always want to be in the position of being a part of the problem-solving equation when it comes to working with key partners.”

Add to that assembly literally in a matter of minutes, the combined effect is savings measured in the thousands of dollars every time this crane gets moved. That translates to savings for our customers/partners every time they rent this unit. There is no doubt that as our customers see these savings and convenience there will be an increased interest in purchasing the 120RT.” The PC Construction crane operator was pleased with the crane and said getting it onto the site was great. He also liked the “SmartFly” feature that allows boom pins on the jib to be screwed in with an impact wrench and not from a ladder with a hammer. “Yesterday I was lifting a 4,300-pound concrete bucket and setting at a 110-foot load radius. Instead of using the 164-foot main boom I have been using 137-foot of main boom plus the 34-foot fly to pour concrete,” he said. “When I set the 9,200-pound drill on the crest of the dam at 110-foot radius I was able to improve capacities by reducing the boom length down to 111-foot plus the base fly by simply reducing the main boom length. “This is the first pin and latch telescopic boom I have operated. I found it very simple to run, and I like the Pulse 2.0 total crane operating system. It even allows me to ramp up or down the sensitivity of the controls through the computer.” He said he also found the audible winch drum indicator to be very useful when working deep in the hole. In addition on the project for demolition, PC Construction rented a Volvo EC27D excavator with a Kent FRD FX55A hydraulic hammer from Woods CRW, continuing a great partnership that delivers results.

EASING ON DOWN THE ROAD
Crane manufacturers incorporate modular designs into newer machine models so that components that can be moved efficiently and in the fewest number of loads possible.
Working With a Heavy Hauler to Transport Your Crane to the Job Site By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT
When crane manufacturers promote the features and benefits of a new crane model, “easy transport” is always on the list. With road weight and traffic laws set by local and state transportation departments, crane owners need to know they can get the machine to the job site in the safest, most efficient way possible. Ease of transport is critical to the bottom line. Obtaining city and state law permits to transport cranes and heavy equipment should be high on the crane owner’s list when it comes to delivering a construction crane to a job site. Road laws vary by location, so what one state requires another may not. Local ordinances dictate where and when a hauling company can carry a crane over local roads. Some government entities require that the move take place during certain hours when traffic is less of an issue. And if because of its dimensions the crane is designated by the state to be an oversize/overweight load, the services of a pilot car company also will have to be scheduled. Strict road laws create challenges for equipment managers who have to make sure the truckloads arrive at the job site in the right sequence. The wrong sequence can not only bog down crane assembly on site, but can delay a project start.
Modular Engineering The crane owner will have to work with a reputable heavy hauler to determine in how many truckloads the crane will have to be hauled to the job site. For many years, crane manufacturers have worked to incorporate modular designs into newer models. The goal is to engineer components that can be moved efficiently and in as few truckloads as makes sense for the crane owner. When Manitowoc Cranes, Manitowoc, Wis., unveiled its new MLC150-1 crawler crane early this year, the company marketed it specifically with features for efficient transport and quick assembly on the construction site. The 165-ton capacity crawler was designed “to meet the needs of customers that desire a compact, maneuverable crawler crane with a strong load chart and easy transport,” noted the company in announcing the new model introduction. “A big component of The Manitowoc Way is listening to exactly what our customers need and want in their cranes,” said Brennan Seeliger, product manager of Manitowoc Cranes. This new crane features quicker assembly than previous models. The boom butt-mounted sheave enables self-assembly without the boom top, features a button style rope termination and has a gantry-raised counterweight that reduces components.
The crane’s boom cap, jib butt and struts ship as a single package for fewer connections. It’s also easier to transport, touts Manitowoc. “An increased hook height enables self-assembly with various trailer heights, and the crane is designed to be transported with minimal permitted loads.” Link-Belt, Lexington, Ky., introduced the TCC-800, an 80-ton telescopic crawler crane at ConExpo and designed it to move in two loads: The main unit transports under 100,000 lbs. with fly, side frames attached, hook block and ball, lifting sheave and full take of fuel. Transport overflow includes counterweight sections staying below 45,500 lbs. Clearance height on a lowboy transport trailer is below 13 ft. The goal of crane manufacturers is to reduce the number of additional trucks and assembly time as much as possible.
Working With Your Hauler Heavy hauler FR8Star, of Lincoln, Neb., wants crane owners to know the dimensions of their machine and crane components, since transport drivers will take the dimensions provided them to find the right trailer or trailers for the job. Trailers commonly used for shipping cranes and related parts are lowboys, flatbeds, drop-deck trailers and gooseneck trailers. Step decks and removable goosenecks also are used. “It’s critical to supply them with accurate measurements of your crane and its components when stowed for transport,” the hauler blogged. The hauling company also suggests crane owners consider the crane height on the trailers, noting that anything over 12.5 ft. tall requires a permit for transport. “Width is also important, because anything wider than 8.5 ft. will require an oversize load permit, and anything wider than 12 ft. will require escort vehicles,” the blog stated. Finally, FR8Star believes the crane owner should follow the crane manufacturer’s instructions on fully stowing or disassembling
the machine. “There may be specific practices for reducing the height of specific components, such as by folding the jib a certain way or removing tall exhaust components.” A dependable, trusted heavy hauler will integrate all these critical issues, as well as the crane's weight, hitch locations and placement procedures, into the transport plan. When Heavy Haul Trucking, Joplin, Mo., transported a massive Manitowoc 999 crawler crane, it was like arranging a jigsaw puzzle. This job required 15 truckloads. Travis Smith, company president, wrote in a case study on the job that because there are so many trucks involved in moving such a large crane, it’s critical to have a plan in place to place the correct pieces on the right trailer type. “All the time, trying to maximize each trailer for all its room and weight,” he added. When the company transported the crawler crane, one boom section was loaded with two counterweights positioned underneath. The advantage of using a step deck, noted Smith, was the added space for the counterweights. The load was able to be maximized by weight and dimension. This particular move used flatbeds, step decks, double drops, and multi-axle trailers, notes Smith. On the haul, cribbing was used as a buffer between the counterweight and the boom. It protected both pieces while giving the boom a secure place to rest on the trailer. “It also keeps the boom level, which is more secure on the trailer,” noted Smith. One particularly long and high crane piece was shipped on a step deck with low profile wheels and wheel cutouts. The choice reduced the trailer deck height low enough to accommodate the height required and still be under 13-ft. 6-in. overall height. Of course, the largest piece moved was the crawler’s carbody. At 87,500 lbs., it was a big piece of machinery, said Smith. A “modest” width of 9 ft. 10 in. still required permits, and an escort was required in New York and Connecticut for being over 80 ft. in length. continued on page 14
Knowing the dimensions of the crane and auxiliary components helps heavy haulers find the right trailer or trailers to transport the machine to the job site.
To legally transport large cranes, a boom dolly attached under the crane’s boom for travel will often be used to evenly distribute the weight across more axles.
from page 13
An eight-axle removable gooseneck trailer was used to haul this massive crane. “Heavy Haul Trucking looks forward to another large crane hauling job like this one,” added Smith.
Beyond Transport Trailers Boom dollies are specialized trailers that attach under the boom of a crane for travel. To legally transport large cranes, a boom dolly will often be used to evenly distribute the weight across more axles. Crane manufacturers typically install a boom dolly “package” to ready the crane boom for a dolly. A boom dolly has anywhere from two to five axles on a straight or articulating frame. The towers on the frame can be split to accommodate counterweight, or may be mounted in the center. The crane manufacturer supplies the lug spacing dimensions so the tower can be designed. Crane owners use boom dollies primarily for transporting all-terrain and lattice-boom cranes. There are many different options available, though the concept behind them all is to spread the weight of the crane and meet local road laws.
14
Though smaller cranes require fewer axles regardless of the number of axles, they all have to work in sync. Cranes that require dollies range from 50 to 550 tons capacity, When you’re moving a crane boom from your yard to the job site, a boom dolly will help you move more of the boom, according to Weiss Brothers, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. With the assistance of a dolly, the crane owner can keep more of the boom intact while moving it across streets and highways. “If you can move the crane boom with the outrigger boxes, swing-away jib, block, ball and some counterweight, you are going to save the entire operation time during the setup process once everything is at the construction site,” blogged the company. Most dolly manufacturers offer options. Some are designed with single, split or tilting tower options. Three or four axle dollies are also available when the overall weight requires a little more to be touching the ground during transport. The dolly “can be adjusted, added to, made longer or more rigid depending on the customer's needs for the project or the type of crane they are moving around,” according to Weiss Brothers. CQ

BIGGER BEAST.
This idea was reinforced recently at The new direction called for assembling the the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo as a full dome structure on the ground, instead new geodesic dome was installed of in the air. Finished, the new, pre-fab over its RainForest habitat. metal dome is 36 ft. tall and 73 ft. Initial plans called for the dome to in diameter. It weighs 77,000 lbs. be set in four sections and then joined together over the habitat. For this, ALL Erection & Crane Rental of Cleveland, a member of the ALL Family of Companies, was ready to assign a 500-ton crane to assist with the installation. However, the sectional approach was deemed too time-consuming and could perhaps challenge the precision the new dome required. After some collaboration, a new lift plan was developed — to set the entire dome as a single piece. This would require more crane power — approximately 100 tons more. The new direction called for assembling the full dome structure on the ground, instead of in the air. Finished, the new, pre-fab metal dome is 36 ft. tall and 73 ft. in diameter. It weighs 77,000 lbs, roughly equivalent to the weight of nine to 19 — depending on how much you feed yours — adult hippopotamuses (which do not live in rainforests, by the way). The new size and weight, combined with the 140-ft. lift radius necessitat- dome,” said Mike LiPuma, ed by the lift environment, influenced the sales and rental manager of decision to call in the higher-capacity ALL Crane. “There really are so many machine.

The dome was assembled in the zoo’s parking lot. The LTM 1500 set up in the lot, too, between the finished dome and a line of trees that acts as buffer between the lot and the zoo. After lifting the dome high enough to clear the trees, the crane operator had to swing 180 degrees to set the dome inside the zoo on top of an existing foundation. In this instance, using the larger crane saved money for the customer, because the dome was set in a single day. “The previous plans, calling for the dome to be lifted in multiple sections, would have required the smaller crane to be on site for approximately four days,” said LiPuma. “Instead, lifting the dome as a single piece, then holding it in place so it could be secured to the foundation, took only a few hours.” The RainForest opened nearly 30 years ago and is home to 600 animals and more than 10,000 plants. Its original dome was leaking, and the replacement will correct this problem in addition to providing better UV penetration and improved energy efficiency.

On tunneling projects there are two critical have a machine operating that dependably pieces of equipment: One is the tunnel boring across two shifts for so long is huge. In the end, machine, the other is the crane. If either of we mined the 6,600 ft tunnel section ahead of them goes down, the job effectively comes to a schedule.” The London Road Relief Sewer project forms standstill. So, when Triad Engineering & Contracting part of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer (Triad) had to select a crawler crane for a large District utility. It’s formed of a three-pronged tunnel build there was only ever really one network of relief sewer tunnels, leading down to a drainage structure that connects to a nearchoice: Manitowoc. The company received its Manitowoc by water treatment plant. Much of the work for MLC100-1 in August 2019 and immediately set the crane involved removing excavated materiit to work on the London Road Relief Sewer al from the tunnel. This was transported from project, situated on the east side of Cleveland, the tunnel boring machine via an underground rail system to the Ohio. Operating access shaft, where continuously over the crane sat above two shifts a day, the “Putting the crane together is ground. machine notched The MLC100-1 pretty quick and efficient, and up 2,500 hours of removed each rail car faultless operation fuel consumption has improved. of excavated material, within its first 12 with between five and months.

The MLC100-1 is a 110-ton capacity crane that can be equipped with up to 200 ft. of main boom and has a 60 ft. fixed jib attachment.
Power for the unit comes from a 300 hp Cummins 6.7 l Tier IV Final engine, which helps deliver its load moment of 2,680 ft-kips. Operators also are able to adjust the controls to suit the task at hand, and this is another feature that helped the sewer project run smoothly, according to Kassouf. “The line speed, line pull and precision of controls were all important factors when we were looking for a crane,” he said. “We can calibrate the controls on the MLC100-1 to regulate the speed at which we lower something…get it down to small increments so it’s accurate, then speed it up when we need to move faster. Putting the crane together is pretty quick and efficient, and fuel consumption has improved. There are a lot of benefits with this new machine.” The self-assembly system of the MLC100-1 allows for full set-up without the need for an assist crane. Like most current generation cranes from Manitowoc it has the company’s Crane Control System for a familiar cab layout and easier interchangeability of parts. The widebody cab also offers operators a 10 percent increase in legroom compared with previous models, which meant that despite the demanding nature of the work, the MLC100-1 was a hit with the operators on the job, according to Rick Chipka, equipment manager of Triad.
“Our operators liked it a lot. It’s convenient and comfortable to operate,” he said. “Also, our mechanics were working with the team from our local Manitowoc dealer, Cleveland Crane & Shovel, to make sure everyone understood the computers and controls. The guys at Cleveland Crane & Shovel worked around our schedule on the project, so it didn’t impede our progress. This crane has done really well for us — it really has.” Triad purchased its MLC100-1 through Andrew Forepaugh, vice president of sales at Cleveland Crane & Shovel. “I would like to thank Cliff Kassouf and Rick Chipka and the rest of their team members for putting trust in Cleveland Crane & Shovel and Manitowoc to meet their needs in this demanding business requirement,” Forepaugh said. Triad is a tunneling specialist, founded in 1987 and operating out of facilities in Cleveland, Ohio, and Charleston, S.C. Cleveland Crane & Shovel, based in Bedford Heights, Ohio, is one of the oldest Manitowoc dealers in the United States. The company provides sales and support services for both Manitowoc crawler cranes and Grove mobile cranes, and is a certified Manitowoc Crane Care Elite partner.

CRAWLER FITS THE BID
Superior Cranes invested in the Demag CC 6800-1 crane, which offers a 1,375-ton(1,250t) lifting capacity. The timing of the purchase was critical, as a challenging petrochemical job in Virginia came up for bid, one that would require the capacity that only the CC 6800-1 could offer.
Joe Everett, president of Superior Cranes Inc., Rockingham, N.C., has gained a reputation as an innovator. “We have completed many jobs that other lifting companies wouldn’t consider due to the creative way Joe looks at a project,” said Brian Schleicher, director of marketing and communications of Superior Cranes. Everett also is known for investing in the company and growing the fleet, so Superior Cranes can tackle the difficult projects. The company does not like missing out on a project opportunity because the right crane type with the capacity to complete the lift is not in the fleet. Until recently, however, this was exactly what was occurring because the largest crawler crane in the company’s fleet was a Demag CC 3800-1, offering a 715-ton (650-t) capacity.
“Even though we have the 1,320-ton capacity class Demag AC 1000-9 all terrain crane, there were three jobs in 2018 that we couldn’t bid because it wasn’t possible to use an all terrain crane,” said Everett. “We needed a crawler crane with about the same capacity, so we didn’t miss out on other opportunities.” So Superior Cranes invested in the Demag CC 6800-1 crane, which offers a 1,375-ton(1,250-t) lifting capacity. The timing of the purchase was critical, as a challenging petrochemical job in Virginia came up for bid, one that would require the capacity that only the CC 6800-1 could offer. “Prior to purchasing the 1,375-ton crane, we could not have completed the lift. For that matter, few lifting companies east of the Mississippi River could,” said Everett.
The lifts required 1,719,000 lbs. of counterweight — 551,000 lbs. superstructure, 176,000 lbs. central ballast and 992,000 lbs. on the Superlift tray. The lifts were made at 125- and 136-ft. (38.1- and 41.5-m) radii due to site access limitations.
This was the first project Superior Cranes’ crew would complete with the new CC 6800-1 crawler crane, and Everett couldn’t have picked a more challenging application for the first job with the crane. Demag engineers assisted the company to devise a lift plan for a site with limited access and crane mobility after the load was lifted. Multiple 680,000-lb. vessels had to be removed and replaced for the petrochemical company. Everything about the project required diligent planning and flawless execution. “The crane had to navigate on the narrow job site,” said Everett. “We had to build a pad for the crane, so the counterweight could swing over the top of the building. The lifts took nearly eight months to plan.” The Demag CC 6800-1 crawler had to be positioned far away from the 20-ft. (6.1-m) diameter, 40-ft. (12.2-m) tall vessels. Superior Cranes’ crew used a 300-ton (275-t) crawler assist crane to build out the CC 6800-1.
Tight Quarters, Inventive Planning

“It took 10 days to set up and 6 days to disassemble the [CC 6800-1] crane,” said Everett, “which is excellent given the space we had to work with and it being our first time. The process will get faster, especially on wide open job sites.” Crew members installed 259 ft. (79 m) of main boom and 134.2 ft. (41 m) of Superlift boom. To aid in construction safety, the CC 6800-1 is equipped with the Demag fall protection system. “This system stops a fall prior to the worker reaching the ground, reducing the possibility of injury,” said Hans Hofer, service engineer of Demag. It is quickly installed from ground level and includes a vest harness equipped with a shock absorber. The lifts required 1,719,000 lb. of counterweight — 551,000 lb. superstructure, 176,000 lb. central ballast and 992,000 lb. on the Superlift tray. The lifts were made at 125- and 136-ft. (38.1- and 41.5-m) radii due to site access limitations. “The closest competitive crane available couldn’t fit into the hole we had to work with, so we were glad to have the CC 6800-1.” A total of 12 picks were made in the month Superior Cranes was on site. Wedged between obstructions, the operator carefully kept the boom within lifting radius with the variable Superlift counterweight tray connected to the carbody. After the vessel was secured, the crane boomed up and positioned the load close to the carbody. Crews then disconnected the Superlift tray to rotate the vessel and reposition it to its staging area. “The tray had to be removed to allow the crane’s counterweight to clear the building,” said Hofer. “The crane’s Quadro-Drive ondemand system improves versatility on jobs like these by allowing the base to move and spin under load.” Superior Cranes’ months of meticulous planning paid off. The
difficult lifts were safely made in less time than planned. “The CC 6800-1 is a great piece of equipment,” said Everett, adding, “We’re looking forward to the next one.”
Increasing Versatility Everett started in the industry 31 years ago with a single 45-ton (40-t) crane and a service truck. He invested any extra money back into the business. In the early days, he took any job he could complete, from cleaning sewers to railroad recovery. Today, Superior Cranes owns more Demag crane equipment than any other company on the East Coast. Everett likens the Superior Cranes-Demag relationship to a marriage: “If I fail, we both fail, and Demag has gone the extra mile to ensure our success.”. Everett said Superior Cranes made the investment in the Demag CC 6800-1 because of its versatility. It can be used as a pedestal crane, a crawler, on a barge or to construct wind turbines. The company purchased the wind kit for potential savings. “You don’t have to use/install the Superlift to erect wind turbines, which saves two to three days for set-up. This is a huge savings,” he said. “While there isn’t a lot of windfarm work in the Southeast yet, the same Superlift savings goes for heavy lifting projects in the city.” With the Demag CC 6800-1, Superior Cranes has a flexible crane that fits the company’s anything-that-needs-a-crane-we’ll-do attitude. “With the CC 6800-1, we have a 1,375-ton crane that can do 600-, 800- and 1,000-ton jobs,” said Everett. “You can’t do the opposite with a smaller crawler crane.” For more information, visit www.demagmobilecranes.com.

Setting the first span using SPMTs.
Knowing Your
ABCs
M
ammoet’s crew successfully set four precast boxgirder bridge units into place as part of the construction of the “Signature Bridge” in Irving, Texas, for the Texas Department of Transportation and its general contractor Webber LLC. Once complete, the bridge will stretch 500 ftl. (152 m) long over State Highway 114 and will connect the former Texas Stadium site to a planned mixed-use development, which is set to include a new Dallas Area Rapid Transit light rail station. Each bridge unit weighed approximately 793 tons (720 t) and was transported and set utilizing self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), during very specific, planned overnight traffic outages to ensure minimal disruption to the public. The original plan was to utilize jacking and skidding equipment so the bridge could be built on top of the existing bridge and skidded over to its new foundation. Upon review of engineering, Mammoet devised a specialized solution for the units to be built directly on the ground in an off-site location, after which each unit would be picked up and self-loaded using SPMTs (this method is known as the Accelerated Bridge Construction or ABC method).
22
The ABC method avoided the need for work to be done at height, eliminating many safety concerns, and allowing for quicker loading time than originally anticipated, ultimately eliminating the need for two overnight shifts of previously planned work. In order to execute as planned, a trench was dug underneath each 120 ft. (37 m) long section to allow for installation of a beam under each end of the bridge unit. The sections were then lifted using a 700 ton (635 t) capacity gantry system and once elevated, Mammoet’s crew drove SPMTs underneath to load each piece before carefully delivering to the abutments. The route from construction site to final setting location provided some challenges for the team, including steep grades and tight spaces to negotiate. Thorough coordination with Webber LLC and careful engineering ensured that the team was able to successfully set all four bridge units in the allotted traffic outage period. Since the start of the project in 2017, there have been over 170,000 hours with zero recordable incidents. Mammoet has extensive experience in executing bridge replacement projects around the globe, including an upgrade to the Shaler Street Bridge in Pennsylvania, and the recent installation of a pedestrian bridge at the Seattle-Tacoma airport.

NCCCO Forum Goes Virtual The Forum will build on the success of previous events and focus on the latest developments in regulations and best industry practices as they pertain to the qualifications of personnel working in, with, and around cranes and other types of lifting equipment.
T
he Fifth Annual Industry Forum on Personnel Qualifications
has been rescheduled for Oct. 29, 2020, as a virtual event, the NCCCO Foundation has announced. As previously reported, Scott Ketcham, director of OSHA’s Directorate of Construction, will once again provide the keynote address and participate in a Q&A session that will conclude the conference. The Forum will build on the success of previous events and focus on the latest developments in regulations and best industry practices as they pertain to the qualifications of personnel working in, with, and around cranes and other types of lifting equipment. “In light of the imminent publication of OSHA’s Compliance Directive, we anticipate the session on the Foundation’s newly-published Most Similar Certifications Directory to be highly popular,� said NCCCO Foundation CEO, Graham Brent. Other sessions will focus on who’s responsible for what on job sites, why certification is so important for riggers, signalpersons, lift directors and others even when it may not be required, what’s
24
“bubbling underâ€? with new B30 standards, and what new certification programs are being developed. The last Forum was held in Crosby, Texas, in October 2019 and attracted a record attendance of more than 100 industry representatives from all facets of the lifting industry. A survey of attendees’ experience was highly positive. “Response to the last Forum was exceptional,â€? said Brent, “with fully 94 percent of delegates rating the event as meeting or exceeding their expectations. “It’s not every day that you get access to those, like OSHA Director Ketcham, who are on the front lines of regulatory issues,â€? said Brent, “which is why the question-andanswer panel discussion proved so popular last time and while we will be reprising it again this time around. “We pack a lot into a four-hour window. With a dozen or so separate presentations, we ensure there’s always something for everyone,â€? he added. There is no charge to attend the Forum, but registration is required.

ACQUISITION BRINGS BRAND NAME CHANGE DICA announced a brand name change for its acquired Linton Rigging Gear line of products to “LiftGuard magnetic sling protectors. “LiftGuard joined the DICA family of engineered products following the company’s acquisition of Linton Rigging Gear earlier this year. LiftGuard sling protectors prevent damage to slings caused by contact with abrasive edges, corners or protrusions from loads being lifted. They also keep the sling away from other significant contact points during lifting operations. Medium duty, heavy duty and coil edge protectors have magnets installed to make the placement of these edge protectors simple, safe and efficient, according to the manufacturer. As a bonus, LiftGuard protectors weigh 1/7th the weight of steel. They are available with optional Velcro straps to ensure proper sling placement, allowing the protectors to stay attached to the slings when removing them from loads placed at higher elevations. “We made the name change to highlight the phenomenal dual sling and load protection benefit LiftGuard provides. All slings, especially synthetic web and round slings, can be damaged during lifting, and loads are susceptible to damage from chain and wire rope slings if they are not properly protected,” said Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA. “Edge protection with sling use is critical in preventing sling failure and is an OSHA requirement and ASME standard,” he explained. (OHSA 29 CFR 1910.184(c)(9) and ANSI B30.9) When using synthetic web slings, the capacity of medium and heavy duty LiftGuard edge protectors is calculated at 12,500 psi/1 in. of sling width per protector. When using synthetic round slings, wire rope slings, or chain slings, LiftGuard product capacities are 12,500 psi of compressive strength per protector. In addition to cut and abrasion protection, LiftGuard Sling Protectors also provide sling capacity benefits. The shape of each LiftGuard protector creates a D/d ratio of 5/1 or 5. This high D/d ratio allows users to utilize 75 to 90 percent of their sling capacity. Lower D/d ratios severely limit sling capacity utilization and can lead to sling overload, according to the manufacturer. LiftGuard Magnetic Sling Protectors are available in medium duty and heavy duty models. Specialty grooved units are designed for I-beams and coil units are available for lifting steel coils. 28

PHENOMENAL dual sling and load protection benefit LiftGuard provides.” Kris Koberg DICA
• Medium duty protectors are ideal for use with all synthetic web slings. They can be used with wire rope and chain slings when lighter loads or lower frequency use is planned. • Heavy duty protectors are specially designed for lifting heavy loads with wire rope and chain slings. The additional material thickness allows for better load distribution and long-term durability. • Grooved protectors are available in both medium and heavy duty models. These protectors allow for a secure connection to the flange of an “I-Beam” or the
edge of a steel plate. • Coil protectors are designed to fit securely within the center bore and top radius of steel coils. “Cut and damaged slings are the cause of many rigging related accidents. Using LiftGuard eliminates the need to use makeshift load or sling protection, or take unnecessary risks. WAe are excited to bring the LiftGuard product line, and all of its merits to the industries we serve,” said Koberg. For more information, visit www.dicausa.com.
