Technology Allows for Meaner, Leaner Cranes — and More Sales By Giles Lambertson CQ CORRESPONDENT
The mobile crane industry is subtly changing. As manufacturers and customers cautiously enter a new economic cycle, they are opting for both larger and nimbler crane equipment. Wheeled and tracked machines are each experiencing market growth as rental continues to grow its piece of the revenue pie. In all of this, technology keeps changing the face of the industry. Computers and electronics are making ever-more complex load calculations look easy and strengthening safety systems. Advanced hydraulics, engines and metallurgy also are transforming the industry. “Boom technology has dramatically evolved,” said Dennis Heller, owner of Stephenson Equipment, which supplies customers in Pennsylvania and New York. “How cranes are built is changing, with high tensile strength and new welding processes that allow manufacturers to keep the weight down. Weight always is the enemy in a crane. Engineers always are competing against weight. They always are trying to get weight out of the crane and engineer it so it can pick up more weight.” The weight loss battle was set back somewhat with the introduction of tiered emission controls — the aftertreatment devices and systems added weight to engines. Still, the weightto-weight ratio battle is being won, with booms still growing in size and capacity. “I think boom trucks will continue to get bigger and stronger as they keep reducing the weight of the larger cranes,” Heller said. “Twenty-five years ago, the biggest boom truck was a 23-ton rig on a Peterbilt commercial chassis. Now they go up to 60 tons. It is almost incomprehensible. Had anyone said 25 years ago we would accomplish this, I would have said there was no way to get there. But computer modeling in engineering, different steels, electronics and increased outrigger spans have made it possible.” It follows that one of the cranes Stephenson most consistently rents and sells is the 5-6-axle, 40-60-ton boom truck. “The numbers of boom trucks being utilized are staggering. It is the growth of the market. Manufacturers have surpassed the capacity of small onsite cranes with the mobile boom truck, which has become the more economical 10

choice in some situations.” Chris Palmer, president of Vermont-headquartered Woods CRW, sees the same popularity of hydraulic truck cranes, which are easy to move to a work site at highway speeds and easy to operate once they arrive. At the upper end of the over-the-highway segment are telescopic heavy truck cranes that can lift 110 tons, nearly twice the standard of a couple of decades ago. “A lot of steel erection is being done with these larger HTCs and modular homes built at the factory are being put together on site with these cranes.” Heller said the all-terrain crane market is “very strong, with Manitowoc pretty much sold out through the end of the year.” This reflects the fact that all-terrain and truck cranes in general are staples of the rental market. Heller added that small crawler cranes are moving briskly, but sales and rentals of lattice crawlers are creeping. “Lattice crawlers are always the last to
rebound in a recovering economy.” Not all the action is on wheels. Palmer cites the growing popularity of telescopic crawler cranes. “The telecrawler crane is one of the fastestgrowing trends we’ve seen in a few years,” he said. The cranes combine track stability and safety, telescopic boom versatility and quick set-up times. Woods CRW distributes the Link-Belt line of telecrawlers, which was introduced a dozen years ago and has grown to five models rated from 50 tons on up to 250 tons. Rental of cranes continues to grow as a share of the market. After the economy dramatically tanked nearly a decade ago, contractors found themselves with more equipment than prospects for using it. This began the shift to renting equipment, including cranes, and it has not yet played out. “Rental certainly is a bigger portion of our business than it once was,” said Palmer. “One of the things we try to focus on as a distributor is coming up with different cost-effective solu-

Business volume in the crane industry is encouraging.
tions for our customer-partners.” When the equipment in question has a price tag of anywhere from a quarter of a million dollars on up to three million dollars, buying new doesn’t always makes financial sense to contractors. Among the rental options Woods CRW offers is rent-to-purchase, which gives a customer additional procurement flexibility. In addition, Woods CRW is heavily invested in used cranes, many of them first sold to customers a decade or more ago. At the distributor’s four full-service facilities in the Northeast, machines taken in on trade are thoroughly refurbished to give customers the option of buying rehabbed equipment. Stephenson also is banking on old machinery to help kindle new sales. Heller noted that “the highest number of cranes sold was in 2006-07. Those machines now are 10 years old
and will be some of the first replaced. All-terrain and boom trucks will be first, the rough terrain market second, and then lattice cranes will be replaced.” Palmer believes telematics will have considerable impact on the crane industry. “Although it still is in its infancy, telematics is a tremendous tool and will change the industry over time. The system we use can detail comparative usage of components, like the auxiliary vs. the main winch, the telescopic cylinder, and so on. Consequently, we can better track the life cycle of components, predict replace times, and reduce maintenance costs.” In Southern California, Jon Williams is seeing similar market trends in the crane market — with particular attention paid to articulating cranes. Williams is another 25-year veteran of the crane business, much of it selling articulating cranes. Two years ago, his company was

bought out by CraneWorks, which is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Williams has seen the same surge in size in the articulating crane segment, the so-called “knuckle-boom” cranes. “The models have gone way up in size. It’s a whole different ballgame. When I started out, the cranes were in the 30-40 ton-meter range and today it is 200 ton-meters.” Operating as CraneWorks Southwest and covering about a third of California, the distributor is kept especially busy moving knuckleboom rigs and 30-40-ton boom trucks. “Any crane mounted on a commercial truck that can run down the highway, we are seeing an uptick in that business.” As is the case elsewhere, the rental market in southern California is growing, Williams said, with contractors feeling confident enough see TECHNOLOGY page 12

to rent. “Some of it has to do with the political climate. They are starting to feel some confidence. We’ll rent to them until they feel enough confidence to spring for a new machine.” An underlying upward pressure on the California market is the state government’s stringent schedule of emission regulations. “It requires people with even a small fleet to get the old machines off the road and acquire newer units with better emission systems,” Williams said. “That’s probably one of the bigger things we have been seeing over the last few years in the state. It’s difficult for the contractors but good for us.” CraneWorks offers custom fabricated units, that is, the mating of trucks and booms to meet a customer’s particular application. Cranes manufactured elsewhere are custom-fitted to a preferred brand of truck, with additional fabrication performed as required. “When a customer wants a 100-foot boom truck, which is pretty standard, the crane is situated behind the cab or over the rear axle and there is very little customization,” Williams explained. “But with the knuckle-boom, you move into a higher level of customization. Those contractors have a particular product they have to deliver and they want it set up in a 12

particular way.” Williams believes the popularity of articulating cranes is nibbling at the boom truck segment of the market. Part of it is the size factor. “With some of the bigger booms, it is all a truck can do to just get the crane to a job site, so the movement toward articulating cranes is escalating. People who didn’t even know what a knuckle-boom truck was now have gotten used to seeing and using them.” Fracking of natural gas and other energy projects are employing more cranes in their set-up and production phases, which is energizing markets in some states. This primarily is rented equipment. Other market influences include increased interest in using cranes in forestry work. Williams said knuckle-boom units are of particular interest in the repurposing of cranes. “In the past, people were using articulating cranes just as a lifting tool, but today it is being employed as a grapple crane. In the tree industry, for example, it’s being used with a grapple saw attachment, where a top portion of a tree is grasped and the saw cuts it free.” So, business volume in the crane industry is encouraging. Expectations are high that it is going to get better. However, some issues are percolating beneath the surface — including doubts about Washington’s ability to enact
promised tax and transportation initiatives. One issue that keeps cropping up without resolution is federal certification of crane operators. “The lack of qualified crane operators continues to be a struggle for a lot of our customers,” said Palmer. “In practice, you just can’t put a person who has been operating, say, an excavator and throw him in a crane and put the crane on a job site.” While most Woods CRW customers have certified operators, adding new operators is a challenge. Getting certified takes time and it’s a costly process. In any event, requirements for a mandated crane operator certification are unresolved. “OSHA has announced a drop-dead date of November of this year, but there is a very strong possibility that it is going to be delayed another 12 months,” Palmer said. Stay tuned. Williams generally is supportive of the proposed new certification. “As a distributor, I like the idea that people who get in our cranes have given some thought about how to operate them. Certification is worrisome for the industry, but I think it’s a good thing.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CQ

Grove All-Terrains Provide Stability in Tight Quarters During GM Demo Two Grove all-terrain cranes played a pivotal role in demolishing an abandoned building at a General Motors facility in Michigan.
Two Grove all-terrain cranes played a pivotal role in demolishing an abandoned building at a General Motors facility in Michigan. Detroit-based JJ Curran Crane used a GMK6300L and a GMK6400 to assist with one of the demolition’s most difficult tasks: the removal of a 67.5 tons (61.2 t) steel walkway. Chad McComas, a crane operator with JJ Curran, said the cranes were chosen for their job site maneuverability, along with their high lifting capacities from compact footprints. “There was a lot of steel that needed to be cut to free the walkway from the outside wall of the building,” he explained. “We needed cranes that could fit in tight quarters, offer our demolition crew maximum stability while they worked and be able to take the brunt of the walkway once it was cut free. I’m happy to say that both the GMK6300L and the GMK6400 performed without a hitch throughout the process.”
Contractors positioned the 350-ton (317.5 t) GMK6300L on one side of the walkway, with the 450-ton (408 t) GMK6400 stationed at the opposite side. After rigging segments of the walkway to each crane, a demolition crew proceeded to sever the walkway’s connections to the building’s walls and foundation. The freehanging structure was then lowered to the ground, where the crew cut it roughly in half, resulting in two pieces that weighed approximately 35 tons (32 t) each. Both Grove cranes easily lifted their respective steel segments down to street level for further disassembly and disposal. The walkway removal took only 15 hours to complete — it was a testament to JJ Curran’s careful planning, which the all-terrain performance of the two Grove cranes made possible. “There was not much room to maneuver on this job site,” McComas said. “But the GMK6300L and the GMK6400 gave us the
stability and capacity on a small enough footprint to carefully complete the walkway separation without stopping for readjustments. By the time the sun was setting, we had already safely maneuvered the large pieces of steel to the street below. It was a great example of using the latest equipment to take a complex problem and safely engineer a solution.” JJ Curran Crane has offered its services to southeastern Michigan for more than 65 years and boasts a comprehensive fleet of cranes that range in capacity from 8 tons (7.25 t) to 450 tons (408 t). The Detroit-based company has performed work at some of the most notable landmarks in its city of origin, including Joe Louis Arena, Comerica Park and Ford Field.

Liebherr LTM 1300-6.2 Mobile Crane Hoists Boat Onto Eiffel Tower Gallery
The LTM 1300-6.2 arrived near the Parisian landmark.
French crane contractor S.E Levage completed a crane job at the Parisian landmark, which was both unique and challenging with distinction. Since the end of March, a 59 ft. (18 m) regatta boat has been enthroned at a height of around 197 ft. on the gallery of the Eiffel Tower. It made many of the visitors to the Eiffel Tower in Paris in April or May rub their eyes in wonder. The large regatta boat has been advertising a good cause on the so-called gallery, the first story of the structure. It is for a French doctors’ initiative, which provides heart operations for children throughout the world. However, very few of the tourists would guess at how the boat, measuring 59 ft. (18 m) in length and 19.6 ft. (6 m) in width, made its way onto the Eiffel Tower. A Liebherr LTM 1300-6.2 mobile crane operated by French crane contractor S.E Levage positioned the sailing boat, certainly without its mast and sail, on the lattice tower in a spectacular hoist during the night. The assembly work on the 330 ton (300 t) crane, which had been prepared with ballast and a lattice jib, started while the numerous visitors were still sauntering around at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. However, the 14
crane was not positioned as first planned in the center between the four massive tower legs, but on the road bordering the Champ de Mars, the Avenue Gustave Eiffel. Wind Causes a Change of Plans Wind turbulence between the piers of the 984-ft. monument meant that the original plan to hoist the boat through the inside of the Eiffel Tower to the first story, was impossible. In consequence, the crane had to be moved. Because of the high lifting capacity of the LTM 1300-6.2, the 20 percent additional radius for the boat resulting from the new site for the crane to the side of the structure, did not pose a massive challenge. As the hook of the mobile crane slowly moved upwards well after midnight, company boss Eric Salvi and his team had their hands full securing the boat and holding it stable as the wind gusted around it. The team from S.E Levage nevertheless completed the job perfectly and positioned the advertisement in perfect condition on the gallery of the “Tour Eiffel.”

Exactly one hour after midnight, things were ready at last. The crane hoisted the boat illuminated by thousands of flashing lights.
At an altitude of around 197 ft., the boat was carefully and precisely placed on mountings, which had been put in place earlier.
The assembly work took until after midnight before the boat could be attached to the hook.
French crane and transport contractor S.E Levage, based in Sallenoves, south-west of Geneva, is primarily active in the Rhône-Alpes region, which stretches from Lyon to the Swiss and Italian border. The crane fleet of S.E Levage consists mainly of Liebherr cranes. Last year the company purchased an LTM 11200- 9.1 mobile crane which is the most powerful crane of the crane pool now.

Link-Belt Cranes Team Produces Its 10,000th Formed Boom
Link-Belt Cranes has produced its 10,000th boom that will be installed on a 140-ton (127 t) TCC-1400 telescopic crawler crane.
Nearly nine years after beginning the journey of producing its own formed boom, Link-Belt Cranes has produced its 10,000th boom that will be installed on a 140-ton (127 t) TCC-1400 telescopic crawler crane. After purchasing formed boom sections from an overseas supplier for several years, Link-Belt made the decision to fabricate its own boom sections for economic and delivery reasons. A small team of engineers and technicians developed all the processes required to cut materials, precision form the plates, weld the shell pieces together, inspect, and complete the weldment to the highest quality. The team specified and/or designed the cutting, bending, welding, inspection, and material handling production equipment. The majority of the fabrication of this production equipment was done in-house by truly talented fabricators and welders. Automated controls and computer programs also were developed in-house to support the flow of the fabrication process, to ensure repeatability and quality and to aid the operators of the equipment. In 2014, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Link-Belt Cranes’ parent-company, named Link-Belt the gold prize winner of its President’s Award in the area of quality and innovation for the equipment designed and built in house that produce high quality boom sections. This project took years of research, design and fabrication with a cross functional team dedicated to produce a high-quality manufacturing process second to none in the crane business. Reliability of the manufacturing equipment is designed in and maintained through a preventative maintenance program. Quality is built in from the first manufacturing sequence to the 18

final product, according to the company. “We’re very proud of the men and women who have worked very hard to make this formed boom process the success it is today. This is just typical of all the great people that make Link-Belt the world class crane manufacturer that it has been in years past and still is today. LinkBelt will continue to innovate and grow for the benefit of our dealers and customers, who expect the best products from us, and for the sake of our wonderful employees and community,” said Dan Harrington, director, production engineering.

IMT Introduces New Dominator III Mechanics Truck, Telescopic Crane
The new Dominator III 11-ft. is capable of working in tighter quarters than its 14-ft. (4.26 m) counterpart, maintaining stability and providing extra lift performance in critical work zones, according to the company.
Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. (IMT) introduces the new Dominator III 11-ft. (3.3 m) mechanics truck and 25-ft. (7.6 m) 12,000-lb. (5,443 kg) telescopic crane. “We took the same approach with the 11-foot version of the Dominator III as we did with the 14-foot — provide a reliable, durable service truck with high-performance capabilities,” said Jim Hasty, general manager of IMT. “We aimed to meet our customer’s needs while offering a lighter, maneuverable body paired with increased lifting capacity from the 25-foot 12,000-pound crane.” The new Dominator III 11-ft. is capable of working in tighter quarters than its 14-ft. (4.26 m) counterpart, maintaining stability and providing extra lift performance in critical work zones, according to the company. The 11-ft. body was driven by a market demand for a maneuverable truck that provides all the convenience and support of a service truck with the ability to meet tight application needs. “The 11-foot body paired with the 12,000pound crane offers operators enhanced flexibility on the worksite without sacrificing lifting capacity,” said Hasty. “Customers will find that the new 11-foot Dominator III is an economical solution that has all the quality and options they’ve come to expect from IMT.” Additionally, IMT reduced
the weight of the upgraded 25-ft. 12,000-lb. telescopic crane by 440 lbs., while increasing the crane rating to 81,000-ft-lb. The IMT 12,000-lb. crane can clear a 12,000-lb. load easily, excelling in zones where operators work. Its increased capabilities complement the improved, lighter Dominator III 11-ft. body, while offering operators superior performance, according to the manufacturer.

Historical
Looking Back: Truck Cranes By Edgar A. Browning SPECIAL TO CEG
CTDOT photo
When asked to provide a feature on cranes I decided early on this was a fairly illustrative photo shoot. That didn’t stop me from perusing through the more than 200,000 images I have but, I kept returning to this scene. It is very standard, straight forward and even simplistic crane work. Yet, that crane you are looking at was, at least for a time in 1956 to 1957, the world’s largest truck crane. A lot has transpired in 60 years. Today, hydraulic truck cranes of 1,000 ton capacity or more roam cities. You might also notice some of the things missing. A few workmen weren’t wearing hardhats. There is not an orange barrel in sight, they hadn’t been invented yet. Today, workman would be fastening the bridge beam braces from the safety of man-lifts a machine that didn’t exist in 1957. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CTDOT photo
A P&H 555A-TC 35-ton truck crane lifts a steel beam into place for a single span bridge along the Connecticut Turnpike at Mill Plain Road in the Town of Branford, Conn. The prime contractor for the entire $8,384,791 turnpike project 319-01 was M. A. Gammino of Providence, R.I. The steel erection subcontractor is Harris Structural Steel of New York City. The photo taken Feb. 7, 1957, depicts a dreary wet winter day. CTDOT photo
The P&H crane continues to hoist the steel beams into place. The beams were hauled to the project by Roger Sherman Transfer Company of Hartford, Conn. The truck tractor is a B-model Mack.
All in a day’s work; the steel beams are in place. A police officer on traffic detail is vigilant while the remaining braces are lifted.
