Link-Belt Holds CraneFest 2012 at Its Headquarters in Kentucky Link-Belt Cranes held CraneFest 2012 at its company headquarters in Lexington, Ky., during the week of Sept. 23. Nearly 1,000 crane dealers, rental houses and end users from the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, South Africa, Trinidad and the United Kingdom attended the event in groups of 200 to 250 for a series of two- day sessions that ran throughout the week. On the Friday before CraneFest began, attendees of the SC&RA Crane & Rigging Workshop also were treated to a plant tour and luncheon at the Lexington facility. This year marked the sixth such event held by Link-Belt. On the day of arrival, guests were treated to dinner at Keeneland, noted as one of the Top 10 thoroughbred racetracks in North America and equally famous for its annual horse auctions that attract buyers worldwide. The next day’s events began with a welcome from Link-Belt Vice President, Marketing, Sales & Customer Support, Bill Stramer and opening comments from Link-Belt Company President, Chuck Martz. After a short video presentation outlining Link-Belt’s development as a world leader in the designing and building of cranes, attendees conduct-

Terex CTT 181-8, CTT231-10 Cranes at Mumbai’s International Airport overall height,” explained Udit Narayan Singh, the ECC project manager responsible for the project. And since L & T has over 34 Terex tower cranes in its fleet — the result of years of good experiences with Terex— there were plenty of options to choose from. The Terex CTT 181 (with a configuration in which the crane would be tied to the ground) was chosen to build the new control tower, while the Terex CTT 231-10 (with a configuration featuring rails) was chosen for the parking structure. Both cranes proved their worth from the start: Even though they were surrounded by heavy traffic in a very busy area, they enabled the L & T team to perform their work quickly and with absolute precision while making it possible to comply with extremely strict safety regulations. In fact, the subject of safety is of paramount importance to L & T, and is one of the main drivers why L&T purchases Terex cranes, as Singh emphasized. “Every time we’re working on a project, we end up noticing that Terex obviously attaches enormous importance to the safety of both crane operators and of workers at construction sites when developing cranes. Also, their cranes are characterized by extremely strong struc-
India’s economic boom has seen many years of continued growth, and the country’s air traffic volume has closely followed. In order to be able to handle the increasing number of passengers and meet the growing need for larger cargo volumes, Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai has been undergoing a continuous process of expansion since 2006. As part of this ambitious project, Larsen & Toubru (L&T), an Indian construction and mechanical engineering company building a new multi-story parking structure and a new air traffic control tower, is relying on Terex CTT 181-8 and CTT 231-10 tower cranes to do the job. Performing construction work in the vicinity of an airport that will remain open despite the construction work around it is always a difficult challenge — even more when the airport is as big as the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. Its role as the international hub for India’s most populous city not only makes it one of the largest airports in India, but has also turned the region into one of the busiest in the subcontinent. “In order to build the new parking structure and the tower, we had to set up the cranes directly within the airport’s busy area. This meant that we would only be able to use flat top cranes, due their lower absolute

International pany as of this writing. The company’s range of services is focused mainly on the planning and performance of a wide variety of construction projects, such as erecting plants for large-scale industries and building infrastructure projects. L & T Construction uses Terex tower cranes as its equipment of choice, and has acquired a total of 34 of these machines through the years, consistently deciding on flat top models, including the CTT 181 B-8, CTT 231-10, CTT 561-32, CTL 180-16, and CTT 161-8. The only instance in which the company uses a non-flat top model is when building high-rises in Mumbai, for which it uses a Terex luffing jib tower crane. In order to ensure that these cranes have the necessary flexibility to work under all kinds of site conditions, they have a number of special configurations that are subdivided into three types — being tied to a structure (R configuration), moving on rails (T configuration) or featuring a fixed chassis (FP configuration). For more information, visit www.lntecc.com.
tures with exceptional torsional rigidity, which lets us perform challenging lifts while knowing that everyone involved will be safe. Also, the fact that the cranes are quick and easy to assemble and disassemble enables us to quickly get them from site to site for new projects,” Singh said. Steel and Concrete at Dizzying Heights The two Terex flat top tower cranes at the Mumbai Airport are mainly in charge of providing the workers there with the steel and concrete they need in order to build the parking structure and the air traffic control tower. This needs to be done at impressive heights, and the cranes are perfectly prepared for this, as they can reach a height of nearly 98.5 ft. (30 m) and have 114 yd (35 m) long jibs. “This configuration enables them to lift the required loads of up to [11 tons] for the parking structure and [8.8 tons] for the tower,” explained Singh. The two units have been performing this task with absolute reliability for more than a year now, which is why the L & T team is sure that they will be able to complete the project as scheduled — in December 2013 — with the help of their Terex tower cranes.

Latin American Gold Mine Receives Fleet of Manitowoc, Grove Cranes Barrick Gold didn’t become the world’s largest gold mining company by using inferior equipment. When it came time to assemble a massive fleet of cranes to assist with mining operations in Pascua Lama, the company chose cranes made by Manitowoc. In all, Barrick is sending several new Manitowoc crawler cranes and Grove rough-terrain cranes to work at Pascua Lama, an especially daunting job site. Crane operators will work at extremely high altitudes in an open pit mining project in the Andes Mountains between Chile and Argentina, with temperatures reaching sub-zero levels and work continuing around the clock. The Grove rough-terrain crane line is ideal for operators working at job sites with extreme conditions, such as the Pascua Lama mine with its 16,404 ft. (5,000 m) altitude and low temperatures. Many feature a 20degree tiltable Full Vision cab and ergonomically designed crane controls. On several models, Megaform booms offer greater rigidity than other boom designs, which allow for heavier loads to be lifted.
The Manitowoc crawler crane line features tough, high capacity cranes that are proven performers on industrial and energy job sites all over the world, according to the manufacturer. Most feature the EPIC control systems, which uses CAN-bus technology to offer smooth and precise control. With EPIC, the cranes can boom, hoist and swing at the same time — something that most other crawler cranes can’t offer. On the job site, the crawler cranes will be helping in maintaining and expanding the processing plant and other infrastructure. The rough-terrain cranes will offer support to this work and also will be used to maintain the mobile processing equipment at the site, such as the fleet of articulated dump trucks. The mining project in Pascua Lama began in 2011. The $5 billion job site has estimated reserves of 17.9 million ounces of gold, and 676 million ounces of silver. The mine’s first production is anticipated to be in mid-2013. CQ

optional jib can lift 500 lbs. of payload up into the platform. The Alum-Line body features a 12 ft. 4 in. (3.7 m) aluminum tread plate bed covered with Elliott’s non-skid coating. The body is composed of one 26 by 45 by 98 in. (66 by 114 by 248 cm) saddle box behind the cab, two 48 in. (121 cm) wide underbody boxes, and two 28 in. (71 cm) wide underbody boxes at the rear. The bed also includes smooth aluminum fender skirting and tie down rails on both sides of the bed. The body can be painted a wide variety of colors to suit each company’s specific branding. Other popular features include strobe lights on the turret, LED lights in the body and a power inverter in a toolbox to provide steady power to the 110 volt outlet in the platform. The M43 HiReach with this custom body provides sign and lighting companies with a versatile solution that will show an immediate return on investment, according to the manufacturer. CQ
Elliott’s M43 HiReach, unveiled at the International Sign Expo in 2011, is now available with a standardized aluminum line body built by Alum-Line and developed in partnership with Elliott’s dealers and sign and lighting industry customers. The toolbox body provides storage for lamps, tools and supplies in a series of lockable boxes resting below the bed. Due to the minimized weight of the aluminum body, users can carry more on the job site than ever before, according to the manufacturer. The M43 HiReach is a telescopic aerial work platform with a 30 by 54-in. (76 by 137 cm) platform, 48 ft. (14.6 m) of working height, and excellent side reach on a non-CDL 19,500 lb.

The new model fills the gap between Tadano’s ATF 130G-5 and the ATF 220G-2, which both have class-leading capacities.
Big Splash for Tadano’s New ATF 180G‐ 5 BlueTec technology reduces particle emissions by 90 percent compared to older emission standards and the Mercedes-Benz engines already meet Tier IVi emissions requirements. Fuel consumption also is cut by approximately 5 percent. Tadano’s motto is “Go-anzenni!” which translates to, “Safety First.” The ATF 180G-5 is equipped with the manufacturer’s exclusive Lift Adjuster safety system, minimizing any load sway induced by boom deflection when lifting a load off the ground. This is a particular benefit if the view of the load is obstructed and/or the load is lifted from an elevated level. In such cases, the operator can pay full attention to the operation rather than just relying on the radius indication of the Automatic Moment Limiter. Both the Lift Adjuster and the Automatic Moment Limiter are standard. The ATF 180G-5 will get its first public showing at Bauma 2013, which will take place in Munich next April. For complete product specifications visit www.tadanoamerica.com or email sales@tadano‐cranes.com.
The first customer deliveries of the new ATF 180G-5, Tadano’s new 200-ton (180 t) all-terrain crane produced by Tadano Faun in Germany, have started. The new model fills the gap between Tadano’s ATF 130G-5 and the ATF 220G-2, which both have class-leading capacities. The first five units of the ATF 180G-5 are being shipped to customers in North America. The new model features five-axle carrier 10x8x10; all-wheel steering with emergency steering pump for maximum maneuverability in “all terrains;” and engines with Mercedes-Benz BlueTec clean engine technology first seen on Tadano’s larger 450-ton (400 t) ATF 400G-6. The standout feature of this crane is the strength of the main boom, giving a load chart that rivals 220 to 240 ton (200 to 220 t) class machines on the market. For example, with the maximum counterweight, the ATF 180G-5 can lift 34,200 lbs. (15,512 kg) out to a radius of 46 ft. (14 m) with full boom extension. Like the ATF 400G-6 before it and other Tadano cranes, the ATF 180G-5 is one of the cleanest mobile cranes that has ever been made.

Manitowoc Crawler Cranes Keep Logan Runway Addition on Schedule
Four Manitowoc crawler cranes are working on an expansion project at Logan International Airport in Boston. 25
Four Manitowoc crawler cranes are working on an expansion project at Logan International Airport in Boston. The cranes, three Manitowoc 999s and a barge-mounted Manitowoc 2250, are helping the contractor meet the project’s demanding schedule. The project consists of lengthening the airport’s longest west-toeast runway by building a 600 by 300 ft. (182 by 91 m) pier out into Boston Harbor. The Manitowoc 999s are being used in all aspects of the operation from driving 18 in. (45 cm) square precast piles and setting the precast concrete pile caps, to placing specially designed precast concrete beams, called NEXT (Northeast Extreme Tee) beams. The Manitowoc 2250 is doing the bulk of the marine work from a 54 by 180 ft. (16 by 54 m) barge. J. F. White Contracting Co., the project’s general contractor, is renting the cranes from Baldwin Crane and Sterling Equipment. Jim Beach, project manager at J.F. White, said the greatest challenge has been the tight timeline and the constraints of working on a major runway within a busy, operating international airport. “The schedule has been really challenging, especially since October, at which point we had to return the runway back to airport control for use at night,” said Beach. “We knew the 999s would be a good fit on this project because they have the capacity and reach coupled with the speed and mobility to efficiently move on and off the pier.” To meet the demands of the schedule and to ensure the airport has unrestricted access to the runway at night, the cranes move off the pier to a staging area every evening. The staging area is more than 700 ft. (213 m) from the job site, and moving the cranes takes approximately 80 minutes at the start and end of each day. To move the cranes rapidly on and off the narrow pier, J.F. White constructed a 35 by 35 ft. (10 by 10 m) rotating platform between the pier and the land to enable the cranes to handle the vertical disparity between the two working elevations. Each morning, after maneuvering on to the platform, the platform rotates 90 degrees so the cranes pull off the platform onto the pier. The same process takes place in reverse every evening. This has saved the time and space that would be otherwise required to move three 999s on and off the deck. A streamlined process has ensured the cranes are on the job site as quickly as possible, and has allowed the project, which began in July 2011, to break for winter on Nov. 20. The 275 ton (249 t) capacity Manitowoc 999s are configured with 190 ft. (58 m) of main boom, and the 330 ton (300 t) capacity Manitowoc 2250 is configured with 160 ft. (48 m) of main boom. The heaviest elements in the construction of the pier are the concrete NEXT beams, which are 10 ft. wide by 40 ft. long and weigh approximately 50 tons (45 t) each. The extension of the runway, once complete, will enable Logan Airport to land larger jets such as 747s and 777s on the runway when other airports are forced to close due to inclement weather. The expansion is part of an FAA mandated safety improvement project and is expected to be complete by November 2012. CQ

NCCCO Recognizes Employers With Committed to Crane Safety Program The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) announced the launch of its new Committed to Crane Safety program. The Committed to Crane Safety program is an employer recognition program developed by NCCCO to recognize employers who have demonstrated their commitment to safety by hiring CCO-certified personnel. NCCCO recognizes the time, effort and resources expended by companies in obtaining certification for their crane operators and related personnel. “Crane operators, signalpersons and riggers receive recognition for their knowledge and skill related to safe crane operations when they are issued a CCO certification card,” said NCCCO Commission Chairman, Kerry Hulse. “It is therefore appropriate that safety-conscious employers also should be honored for their commitment to safety.” Companies that participate in this program have demonstrated that they are committed to crane safety by hiring CCO-certified personnel. They also usually have a hiring policy that requires or strongly encourages CCO certification. In so doing, they identify themselves as companies that strive for excellence in their hiring and training efforts. All companies that successfully qualify for entry into the program receive a special Recognition Package that includes the rights to use the exclusive CCO “Proudly Employing” logo(s), coverage of their efforts in national and local media, and other benefits. “We enthusiastically applied for participation in this new program,” said Jeffrey Hammons, vice president of risk management at AmQuip Crane Rental, Trevose, Pa. “CCO certification has driven our operators to perform on a more professional level and raised their awareness of best practices. And our customers have a greater sense of safety and security knowing our operators are tested and certified in their craft.” “Zachry is delighted to be a charter member of this new recognition program,” said Samuel Rogers, senior corporate crane safety coordinator for Zachry Industrial, San Antonio, Tex. “By requiring CCO certification for all our operators, Zachry decreased its crane incident cost by 80 percent in the first year of implementation.” “Safety-conscious companies work hard to earn, maintain and protect their reputation in the industry,” said Thom Sicklesteel, whose company, Sicklesteel Cranes Inc., Mount Vernon, Wash., is also a founding participant in the new program. “It’s appropriate that companies who use CCO certification to help qualify their workforce be recognized as well.”
Any company that employs CCO-certified personnel is eligible to apply for the Committed to Crane Safety program. Companies that qualify may work in general construction, crane rental, sign installation, steel erection, manufacturing, machinery installation and petrochemicals. Companies that display the recognition plaque or use the exclusive program logo in promotional activities enhance their standing in the industry by demonstrating both to their clients and employees that safety is a priority. These companies are nationally recognized for their achievement on the NCCCO website, in the CCOnline newsletter and in other industry media. Companies may apply for recognition within the separate programs established for employers of crane operators, riggers and signalpersons. A Recognition Package and logo has been tailored for each program. Companies interested in demonstrating that they are Committed to Crane Safety submit an online application along with supporting documentation. Examples of such documentation may include the percentage and/or number of operators who are CCO-certified at the company, a copy Thom Sicklesteel of the employer’s hiring policy requiring CCO certification and the Sicklesteel Cranes Inc. number of years the policy has been in place. There are no fees required for participation; all administrative costs are borne by NCCCO. Recognition is valid for one year. When a company is nearing its anniversary, an opportunity is provided for renewal. The first group of companies to participate in the new program includes AmQuip Crane Rental LLC, Barnhart Crane and Rigging Co., Boh Bros Construction Co. LLC, Buckner Companies, Cianbro, Crane Rental Corporation, Dawes Rigging and Crane Rental, Deep South Crane & Rigging, George Young Company, Kiewit Corporation, Marco Crane & Rigging, Rent-A-Crane Inc., Sicklesteel Cranes Inc., Sims Crane & Equipment Co., TNT Crane & Rigging Inc., Turner Industries Group LLC, W.O. Grubb Steel Erection Inc., Zachry Industrial Inc.

Clark Rigging & Rental Plays Part in Wallenda Niagara Falls Walk By Mary Reed
The event took two years to plan and in part required a special New York legislative bill allowing Wallenda an exemption to the state’s antistunt law as well as permission from the Niagara Parks Commission (NPC). To attempt the crossing Nik Wallenda was contractually required to wear a safety tether for the first time in his career. However, these and other complications “only made us more determined to master the Great Niagara,” Clark said. The steel wire for Wallenda’s walk was installed by O’Connell Electric Company of Victor, N.Y. The company specializes in erecting utility distribution and high-tension transmission lines and was contracted by Wallenda to install a steel wire across the Niagara River gorge as well as the installation of a wire at the Seneca Niagara Casino practice site. The company also was involved in the design and planning process. “We work on a lot of challenging projects,” said Michael Parkes, manager of the Power Group of O’Connell Electric Company. “But the one that comes to mind in a similar category to this was installing power up the side of Whiteface Mountain for the 1980 Winter Olympics.” “Perhaps the toughest challenge to overcome on this project was developing and implementing a plan to pull and tension Nik’s 2-inch diameter wire across the gorge,” Parkes said. The wire itself was approximately 2,300 ft. in total distance and weighed 7.5 lbs. per ft., about 8.5 tons or more than four average sized American cars. So as the wire was reaching the Canadian side of the gorge that wire had the weight of approximately four cars strung together and also needed to be pulled under incredible tension to keep it from sagging into the water.
CEG CORRESPONDENT
It was a unique event gaining worldwide attention, yet it began in the ordinary way with a visit from a potential customer. However, this particular client was planning an extraordinary event. Steve Clark, vice president of Clark Rigging & Rental Corporation of Lockport, N.Y., recalled one day that Nik Wallenda of the famous Flying Wallenda aerialist family “walked into our office and said ‘I’m going to walk a wire over Niagara Falls’.” “Being prudent and cautious managers that we are, we scratched our heads and thought ‘OK, good luck!’” Clark said. The immensity of the proposed project can be judged from his response and the fact that, in addition to handling rock scaling in the Niagara River gorge and lowering materials for the hurricane deck at the base of the falls, Clark Rigging had assisted David Copperfield vanish over the falls, carried out movie stunts for Canadian Bacon, and lowered New Year’s Eve balls in Wilson, N.Y., and Lockport, N.Y., as well as a new car in a promotion for Ford in downtown Buffalo, N.Y., in 2004. As Clark observed of his company and Wallenda himself, “We both challenge gravity, but with the utmost respect for its ever-present force. If you fail in any way, well, you know what happens.” So it was with that Clark Rigging became part of the historic walk. Such a feat had never been attempted before at the widest part of the Horseshoe Falls and involved a walk of more than 1,000 ft. from Goat Island in America to the Visitor’s Center on the Canadian side.
Clark Rigging became part of the historic walk. Such a feat had never been attempted before at the widest part of the Horseshoe Falls and involved a walk of more than 1,000 ft. from Goat Island in America to the Visitor’s Center on the Canadian side. 28
The mist over the falls added to the difficulty.
Clark Rigging supplied the Terex/Demag AC-140 170 ton (154 t) on the American side and Modern Crane of Niagara Falls, Ontario, used another of the same model on the Canadian side. The cranes on each side were used for two main purposes: to elevate the wire and to apply the final 60,000-lb.-plus tension to the wire, which the puller/tensioner/pulling rope were not capable of safely achieving. O’Connell Electric supplied the puller on the Canadian side and the tensioner on the American side. Parkes described them as “very unique pieces of equipment and extremely difficult to find in North America.” The puller was a Hogg & Davis LT9500 with a 20,000-lb. (9,072 kg) rating from Pennsylvania and the tensioner was a Timberland PT350 with a 40,000-lb. (18,144 kg) rating brought from Nova Scotia and requiring a 300 kW generator to run. Describing the difficulties of the job, Parkes noted that before the wire was pinned into the anchor system they had seen tensions of 40,000 lbs., adding “Because the tensions were so high and exceeded the capacity of the puller and pulling rope we needed to both double and quadruple the rope to give our equipment the mechanical advantage.” Another major challenge occurred when the wire was about halfway over the gorge. The tensioner started lifting off the ground and the wire began to burn through the fairlead. Parkes described how the problem was resolved. “We first had to open up the fairlead and allow the wire to come off the back tensioner wheel at an angle up to the block suspended from the crane, it was this tight angle and extreme tension off the fairlead that was causing the wire to burn through. In order to keep the tensioner on the ground we placed one outrigger from our 82-foot bucket truck and distribution digger truck down on the frame of the tensioner. This was not in the original game plan, but sometimes in a pinch you need to improvise a little.” O’Connell personnel working on the job included eight linemen, two mechanics, a safety coordinator, and a couple of project managers. To add to the technical difficulties of planning a feat never before attempted at that specific location, installation and removal of the wire had to be carried out at night in order not to interfere with the operation of the Maid of the Mist tourist boat operations. “Clark Rigging’s participation included attending meetings with park personnel, engineers, and the install team, receiving, storing and deliver-
Wallenda’s wire was twice as wide as the wire customarily used by the aerialist. The greater width was needed to withstand the necessary tension. The process of stringing the wire started about 7 p.m. on June 12, 2012, and continued until 9 a.m. the next day. O’Connell Electric had procured a .75-in.Yellow Ultrex pulling rope from Yale Cordage, headquartered in Saco, Maine, with an average break strength of 75,000 lbs., based on a working load of 15,000 lbs. with a 5:1 safety factor. The rope consisted of woven microfiber and was extremely strong. “However, one thing we did not give enough thought to was its resistance to abrasion,” Parkes said. “Prior to hooking up the pulling rope to the helicopter so it could be flown to the American side, our crew laid the pulling rope in runs back and forth across the ground and through a pulling block to control how the rope was paid out.” “The problem developed after the pulling rope was connected to the helicopter. At first the rope was taken out by the helicopter very smoothly, then suddenly — perhaps due to the wind above the gorge — the helicopter and the rope started to pay out much faster than our crew could safely control on the ground,” he said. “As a result, the rope twisted over on itself and when it went through the pulling block it got caught severely, damaging the rope. We were very fortunate that the helicopter had taken enough rope at that point to reach the other side and that the damaged section was able to be cut out and spliced back into good rope on the Canadian side. Without a doubt it was a nervous moment for us, but the crew remained calm and fixed the problem without issue.” O’Connell Electric faced a number of challenges relating to the job, including obtaining insurance. It proved a difficult task. “Our insurance company pulled our coverage, because they were not comfortable covering a stunting event. It left us searching high and low for a company that would cover us and it came at a very steep price. We also had to work out an agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) to allow our Local 1249 crew to travel and work in Canada. There were also numerous roadblocks with U.S. and Canadian Customs and the Rainbow Bridge Authority, which required a lot of paperwork and communication. In addition, we were originally planning on doing this in August and it was moved up to June, which only gave us a little over a month to lock in equipment and get set up.” 29

Nik Wallenda practiced in the parking lot.
ing the cable, and setting up a practice wire in the parking lot of Seneca Niagara Casino in the city of Niagara Falls,” said Melanie Parker, Clark Rigging sales administrator. “We also handled unloading and setting up the tensioner machine, setting up the crane for installation, and the final tension pull from Terrapin Point, the oldest state park in the U.S., as well as assisting in the removal of the wire,” she said. The equipment needed to carry out these tasks included a Demag AC110 to tension and elevate the practice wire at the casino, a Demag AC-140 to create elevation and final tension for the event and to remove the cable, and a Demag AC40-1 to elevate the camera cable. The camera cable was anchored on the U.S. side by SANY counterweights and the crane also placed counterweights for the micro-pile anchors, which were drilled 65 ft. into bedrock on both sides of the river. A Tadano ATF650XL was utilized to unload and set machinery on the American side. With a planned 35 ft. droop in the center of the wire, to prevent twisting, 60-lb. stabilizers were attached at 150 ft. intervals. The 10 to 20 ft. long stabilizers were added by O’Connell Electric linemen, working from both countries, who hauled themselves along the cable in rescue baskets. “It was an absolute pleasure working with the Wallenda family, very professional hard-working people as well as O’Connell Electric and Power Engineers whom were responsible for the design and engineering of this project. Great team! Job well done!” said Steve Clark. Wallenda carried out his unique walk on June 15, 2012, in front of an international television audience as well as thousands gathered on both sides of the Niagara River. His feat ended on a humorous note. When he arrived on Canadian soil he was required to show his passport. Fortunately he had carried it across the falls with him. CQ 30
