Cranes Take Center Stage as World Trade Center Site Rises By Peter Hildebrandt
there is a joint construction of Tishman Construction and Turner Construction, with Tishman Construction the site manager on the PATH Transportation Hub.
CEG CORRESPONDENT
The World Trade Center Site in New York City’s Lower Manhattan Cranes Keep Going With a Multitude of Tasks has been a place of much construction and sadly, destruction, over the A project this huge seems to be manned by an endless variety of conpast four decades. When construction started on the first towers in the late 1960s, businesses and area residents were not all pleased, especial- tractors with far-reaching timelines.

When one of the contractors that Cranes Product & Service Guide acter of the area due to what some feared as a modern monstrosity in talked to installs its own tower crane it their midst. Architectural critics wondered takes 12 tractor trailer loads to bring the and worried about the loss of human scale components onto the site. Most of these due to the tremendous heights involved are wide loads because they are always with the appearance of these twin, rather more than 8 ft. (2.4 m) in width. And some boxy structures.

Currently there’s on site. The site is so huge different contracts and portions have be issued activity happening on the entire 16 acres, according to Steve Coleman, to different companies. public affairs assistant of the Port Authority. Challenges of Getting Huge Cranes into a Huge City This includes the One World Trade Center site, formerly called New York Crane owns some of the cranes working on One World ‘Freedom Tower’ which is now presently up to the 30th floor (of 105 Trade Center, some on the Transportation Hub and some on Tower Four. floors). The Port Authority is working on getting the plaza organized and It rents the cranes to those firms needing them on the job site. On Tower assembled so that adding soil and planting trees can proceed in the latter One there are two Favco 760s, a Manitowoc M18000 crawler crane and part of summer 2010. a Manitowoc M16000 crawler crane. Those cranes were moved over to “We expect the work to really ramp up this year,” said Coleman. work on the Transportation Hub and capacity on the 18000 was “We’ve recently awarded contracts to build the station part of the PATH increased by adding the Maxer attachment.

A second tower crane was installed in January 2010.
Cranes of all makes and models surround the site in October 2009.
“The amount of pressure that this adds to an already stressful profession cannot be put into words. Many hours of planning crane assembly and loading of 20 to 30 trailer loads of crane parts are useless if we do not get the travel permits for the cranes,” he added. It took a great deal of time for Isola to find out what New York Crane would be allowed to do. “Some of the restrictions included shutting the entire bridge down to get the crane parts across it. In any case and despite all this, New York Crane has always had safety as our top priority in the working with and the moving aspects with the machinery from day one and going forward,” he said. For Isola and many others, the current challenges they face in construction are just part of the job of erecting a building that will eventually rise to (including antenna) 1,776 ft. (541 m), symbolizing the year of American’s Independence. For the approximately 800 construction and iron workers, many of whom helped with the clean up at the aftermath of 9/11, this is not just any project. They are working on, likely, the most anticipated high-rise Americans have ever built. One World Trade Center, the centerpiece of the new World Trade Center complex, will taper into eight tall isosceles triangles, forming an octagon at its center. An observation deck will be located 1,362 ft. (415 m) above ground and there will be a square glass parapet at 1,368 ft. (416.9m), the heights of the original Twin Towers.

so there is a lot of delay in the process as well. The safety of the cranes themselves is always a given, but working down there you also have the Port Authority, Department of Buildings, Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and other organizations on that job site with everyone having a say in what’s going on one way or another. It’s a very challenging place to work.” Working with the oversized loads is a tremendous challenge. It takes a long time to get a machine onto the site. All the routes are professionally surveyed before crane parts can be brought to the site. Equipment is brought in with escorts. Routes are submitted to the city and the city has the final say. “That’s the way all the loads go in,” says Isola. “And that’s the way all the loads go out. Isola said that the crane industry boomed from 2003 until 2009. Even in 2007, when the country experienced a drop in business, the crane industry was still going strong and had a backlog of work orders. This is not the case in 2010, as little money is being released to build new structures or lend money to people in order for them to purchase apartments or condos. The money flow has largely halted. Then in May 2010 the DOT in New York started implementing crane travel restrictions that had never been implemented in the past. “The new regulations required that a permit for the mobile crane be in place before the crane could leave the yard and travel to the site. In the past we started the cranes at an early time to travel across the bridges and returned at a time after rush hour had passed,” said Isola. “These permits that we applied for on a Monday for a Saturday job would not be approved until 8 or 9 pm Friday night at times. Sometimes they would not approve it at all. There are many hours spent waiting for approvals for travel permits for cranes to get into and out of New York City and all Boroughs as well. 16

National
New Rule Handed Down From OSHA The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that it is issuing a new rule addressing the use of cranes and derricks in construction, which will replace a decadesold standard. Approximately 267,000 construction, crane rental and crane certification establishments employing about 4.8 million workers will be affected by the rule. “The significant number of fatalities associated with the use of cranes in construction led the Labor Department to undertake this rulemaking,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “After years of extensive research, consultation and negotiation with industry experts, this long overdue rule will address the leading causes of fatalities related to cranes and derricks, including electrocution, boom collapse and overturning.” The previous rule, which dated back to 1971, was based on 40-yearold standards. Stakeholders from the construction industry recognized the need to update the safety requirements, methods and practices for cranes and derricks, and to incorporate technological advances in order to provide improved protection for those who work on and around cranes and derricks. “The rule addresses critically important provisions for crane operator certification, and crane inspection, set-up and disassembly,” said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA David Michaels. “Compliance with the rule will prevent needless worker injuries and death, and provide protection for the public and property owners.” The new rule is designed to prevent the leading causes of fatalities, including electrocution, crushed-by/struck-by hazards during assem-
bly/disassembly, collapse and overturn. It also sets requirements for ground conditions and crane operator assessment. In addition, the rule addresses tower crane hazards, addresses the use of synthetic slings for assembly/disassembly work, and clarifies the scope of the regulation by providing both a functional description and a list of examples for the equipment that is covered. In 2003, the secretary of labor appointed 23 experienced Cranes and Derricks Advisory Committee members representing manufacturers and trade associations, who met 11 times until a consensus on the regulatory text was reached in July 2004. The proposed rule was published Oct. 9, 2008, and the public was invited to submit comments until Jan. 22, 2009. Public hearings were held in March 2009, and the public comment period on those proceedings closed in June 2009. OSHA staff incorporated input from the public comments and testimony to develop the final regulatory text. The complete rule is available at http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-17818_PI.pdf. The regulation text is available at http://www.osha.gov/cranesderricks/index.html. The new rule will take effect on Nov. 8, 2010. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA’s role is to assure these conditions for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Boscaro Crane accessories are also provided through Smedley Crane & Rigging and the Eagle West distribution network. “A complicated thing executed correctly appears elegant – that’s what we’ve done,” said Gerry Wiebe, vice president of sales and business development, Eagle West Equipment Inc. The Smedley Company was founded in 1860. The Palmer family is the current owner of Smedley, with the fourth generation of the family running the business at this time. The original markets served by the company included general merchandise; warehousing household goods; storage and moving; and transportation and rigging. Smedley still serves those industries today, but in the past 50 years the focus has shifted to a greater concentration in the markets of heavy hauling, rigging, plant relocations, crane rentals and millwright work. The Smedley Company features a fleet of all-terrain, rough terrain, crawler and hydraulic truck cranes ranging in capacity from 15 to 300 tons (13.6 to 272 t), as well as a modern fleet of tractor-trailers, gantries, forklifts and aerial lifts. Its customer base is upwards of 500, in a variety of markets including pharmaceutical, chemical, food, power and industrial corporations. Whitcher Builder Inc. was originally founded as David R Whitcher Builder Inc. in the spring of 1967 and later incorporated in 1971. The company’s early work focused a great deal on the development of municipal and community related projects. Staffing increased during those years to include several project managers and field superintendents, as well as more than 20 carpenters.
As the 1980s began, Whitcher developed a solid base of both residential and commercial/community clients. In the mid-80s Whitcher’s focus became noticeably more commercial, and the company trained staff, computerized, strengthened the estimating department and became involved in several formal training programs. By 1990, more than 75 percent of its business was commercial, with more than 60 percent of the jobs being public projects. Over the past ten years, Whitcher Builders has risen to the top tier among building contractors and has been consistently listed as one of the top 20 construction firms within the state of New Hampshire since 1996.

Five Companies Collaborate to Tackle Rough Terrain Problems Locke Crane Services, a full service crane rental company in New England, has recently added a National model 8100D - 23 ton (21 t) hydraulic crane mounted to a Caterpillar 574 Forwarder to its fleet. The unique combination of crane and forwarder is well suited for the rough terrain that Locke travels, especially when working on power transmission lines. Installing the National model 8100D onto the Cat Forwarder was a collaborative effort between Locke Crane Services, Shawmut Equipment, National Crane, Milton CAT and CUE Engineering. Each company contributed to the project and the result is a machine designed and built to service job sites that are difficult to access with traditional machinery. The National model 8100D mounted on the Cat 574 Forwarder offers a 100-ft. (30.5 m) main boom and a two-person man basket. Additionally the crane was designed with 48 in. (122 cm) outrigger jacks capable of leveling the crane in adverse conditions. The Cat 574 carrier is capable of traveling in any terrain and leaves minimal impact on the environment. The CAT 574 Forwarder eliminates the need for extensive matting typically required to access these areas. This saves Locke's customers valuable time and money when this special crane is used. “We’re thinking this unit here, that’s actually a piece of forestry
Locke Crane Services said its new crane is virtually “unstoppable.”
Since the National crane is built on a Cat forwarder and not the typical boom truck it can climb over rocks and up mountains to get to the job site.

equipment except with a crane built on it, will be able to go anywhere we want it to go…through the mud up the mountains. There’s no place this machine can’t go,” said owner Kenny Locke. “The guys really like this piece of equipment because it can do this. It’s a big hit…really awesome,” he said. “The Cat 574 Forwarder can go everywhere,” said James Egan, sales
representative of Milton CAT. “This is the only machine that could have carried the [crane] to the site [because of its mountainous terrain.] It’s handy. If you come to a big rock that you think you can’t go over, the computer knows to lift up the front wheels and hydraulically pull itself over it. It will do the same for snow…lift itself up and push the snow out of its way.”

Working Together A family owned and operated business providing a full array of crane, rigging and transportation services for more than 36 years, Locke Crane Services executes rigging and hoisting needs throughout New England and has locations in Tewksbury, Mass., and Raymond, N.H. Shawmut Equipment has been a vital part of the business. “I bought all my cranes from [Shawmut],” Locke said. “I don’t do my business with anyone else. [Shawmut Equipment President] Dave O’Connell has been really good to me, and I just wouldn’t buy anything from anyone else.” Athird-generation family-owned company since 1957, Shawmut represents the Manitowoc Crane Group, including Manitowoc crawler cranes, Grove mobile hydraulic cranes GMK all terrain cranes, National boom trucks and Potain self-erecting cranes. In addition to representing the entire line of Caterpillar machinery, engines and power generation equipment, Milton CAT offers a complete line of crushing and screening equipment, Genie aerial lifts, Challenger agricultural and utility tractors, as well as implements and work tools ranging from shears, hammers, thumbs, forks and landscape rakes, to a full range of buckets.

Chicago River’s Historic Congress Parkway Bridge Receives Upgrade Imperial Crane currently is working on stage one of the 33 million dollar rehabilitation of the historical Congress Parkway bridge. Built in the 1950s it is 220 ft. (67 m) in length, located over the south branch of the Chicago River. Imperial Crane was hired by Omega Demolition and Walsh Construction to begin removal of the current open grid deck of the bridge, which will be replaced with a closed deck system. Two 115-ton
(104 t) Liebherr cranes were used to complete the dismantling of the bridge. Dan DeLarosa of Omega choose Imperial Crane because of the quality of its operators. “I have always had safe experiences with Imperial’s employees. An appropriate and qualified operator is matched to each job. It is important for me to feel confident that a professional expert is in the seat,” said DeLarosa. The completion of the project will ensure that the Congress Parkway bridge will be a Chicago landmark for years to come. About Imperial Crane Imperial Crane is a full- service crane rental and sales company catering to heavy industrial accounts such as oil refineries and chemical power plants Imperial also services the daily construction market and any 24-hour emergency needs.

MAEDA Introduces Mini Cranes to North American Market
Unlike the standard traditional crane philosophy where bigger is better, MAEDA mini cranes are designed to be small and powerful.
MAEDA has launched its 285 mini crane series in the North American market.
MAEDA mini cranes go places cranes normally don’t — or can’t — go.
In early 2010, MAEDA introduced the MC285 mini crane into the North American market. This is the forth model in the MAEDA mini crane line for North America. All MAEDAmodels for North America are EPA diesel emission and OSHA/ASME B30.5 compliant. Although new to North America, MAEDA mini cranes have been around for years. Maeda owns an estimated 70 percent of the world’s mini crane market and has been manufacturing mini cranes for more than 25 years. According to the manufacturer, MAEDA mini cranes go places cranes normally don’t — or can’t — go. Inside or outside, tight spots, tight access where lifting is needed, MAEDA mini cranes can handle the job. Unlike the standard traditional crane philosophy where bigger is better, MAEDA mini cranes are designed to be small and powerful. MAEDA mini cranes are distributed, sold and supported by MAEDA USA, Houston. 26

Manitowoc’s 31000 Successfully Completes Required Overload Test Manitowoc Cranes has completed the required overload test of its 31000. The 31000, which has a 2,535 ton (2,300 t) rated capacity, lifted 5.5 million lbs. (2.5 million kg) of test weight. All new crane designs must undergo an overload test to confirm the engineered capacity of the crane. Larry Weyers, senior vice president of the Americas region, said the test went as expected, and engineers were pleased with how the crane performed under load. “The lift went very smoothly, and our unique variable position counterweight worked perfectly,” he said. “Exactly as we expected.” The Manitowoc 31000 was fitted with more than 600 strain gauges that measure the tension or compression of the steel components of the crane while lifting. Kevin Blaney, manager of product marketing for crawler cranes, said that data from the test will be analyzed to determine if any design changes are required in the production units of the Manitowoc 31000. “We’ll check the stresses in the structure to verify the preliminary capacities,” he said. “Then we will correct them up or down or modify structural components to ensure that actual stresses are within accepted limits.” Boom lengths on the 31000 will range from 180 ft. (54.8 m) to 344 ft. (104.8 m). Various fixed and luffing jib setups also will be available.

filled and above the water level. The Automatic Superlift Mode helps reduce the need to discharge material from the overloaded grab when exiting the water. The grab rotator, load cell, and all connections and greases are designed and fitted for underwater applications and the open stick construction eliminates buoyancy problems and improves placement accuracy. E-Dredgers are available in a wide variety of outreach, downreach and lifting capacities. The hydraulically adjustable operator cab provides optimum visibility and the crane monitoring system includes readout screens in the cab with remote access connections for troubleshooting and reporting, plus integrated software for visualization and guidance. For more information, call 419/468-0090 or visit www.ecraneusa.com.
The new E-Dredger features the E-Crane super-balanced equilibrium principle for smooth, efficient, energy saving operation in dredging and related applications. These include operations such as piling, ship salvaging, heavy construction with dynamiting, classic dike works, construction of breakwaters, land reclamation, and beach and embankment preservations. The balanced counterweight design keeps the boom, stick and grab in near perfect balance in all positions, according to the manufacturer. This minimizes tipping so the unit can be mounted on virtually any type of barge, with or without spud poles. The low E-Dredger height allows maximum mobility under bridges and overhead obstructions. Tail swing is less than 25 ft. (7.5m). The allelectric E-Dredger operates on only 300 hp (225 kW), and is designed and constructed for easy disassembly and reassembly.

load. Taking the crane’s flexibility one step further, Terex engineers designed the crane in such a way that the double fly jib can not only be offset by itself on the extension: it also is possible for the entire 88.5 ft. (27 m), i.e., the 63 ft.-long double fly jib and the 26 ft.-long extension together, to be offset on the telescopic boom. This approach makes it possible to either work with a large working radius or to overcome projecting edges of up to 206 ft. (63 m). To top it all off, there is an available option that makes it possible for the double fly jib to be offset hydraulically, which provides even more operational flexibility of the crane, according to the manufacturer. The AC 100/4 L is designed for a wide range of applications and is well-suited to operations characteristic of lifting capacity classes ranging from approx. 60.6 to 143 tons (55 to 130 t). The crane’s compact dimensions also make it an ideal machine for projects involving tight spaces, which otherwise can be reached only by smaller-class cranes in some cases. Since the crane can achieve enhanced lifting capacities within an axle load of 13 tons, i.e., without the need for transporting additional equipment, it also can be used effectively in operations involving lifting capacities as small as approx. 55 tons (50 t). The crane’s telescopic boom, measuring nearly 197 ft. (60 m), enables it to handle jobs that previously required a significantly larger five-axle machine. Four standard outrigger bases provide a maximum degree of flexibility under demanding operating conditions. This means that the machine’s capabilities can be achieved even when there are space constraints that prevent the outriggers from being fully extended. A 445 hp (335 kW) Daimler engine is responsible for the crane’s road-traveling capabilities and for keeping fuel consumption low.
Terex AC 100/4 L Fitted With Main Boom Extension Terex Cranes’s compact AC 100/4L all-terrain crane, featuring a main boom with a length of 195 ft. (59.4 m), is optimized for a broad range of applications. Together with its variable extension system, the crane reaches a maximum system length of 268 ft. (81.7 m). “Our customers wish for both compactness and long system lengths in a crane — with the AC 100/4L we have a crane available that is easy to operate and meets our customers’ demands,” explained Thomas Hartmann, sales director, Terex Cranes. The Terex AC 100/4L combines a capacity of 110 tons (100 t) with standard truck dimensions, i.e., a width of only 8.3 ft. (2.55 m) when equipped with large 445/95R25 tires. With a 195 ft. (59.4 m) telescopic boom and a 62 ft. (19 m) double fly jib, the AC 100/4 L achieves the longest system length (257 ft. [78.4 m]) that can travel on four axles with an axle load of 13 tons (12 t) or less. The crane’s maximum system length is an impressive 268 ft. The AC 100/4L is equipped with a variable system used for extending its main boom. The 63 ft. (19 m)-long double fly jib enhances the crane’s versatility, as it can be mounted directly on the telescopic boom or on an additional 26 ft. (8 m) extension that is installed between the telescopic boom and the double fly jib. It makes the rigging on the job site fast, as the 63 ft. double fly jib can be transported within a 13 ton axle 29
