WHO SHOULD PERFORM MONTHLY CRANE INSPECTIONS? By Lucy Perry CEG Correspondent

Crane inspections are required before each shift, monthly and annually. Daily crane inspections, a basic “kick-thetires walk-around,” can be conducted by the crane operator while comprehensive annual inspections are conducted by a third-party crane inspection and certification service or a qualified person. Monthly inspections are usually done by someone on the end user’s staff who has been deemed competent. However, the trend toward having a third-party inspector perform the task is growing. When Maxim Crane Works brought its 2,735-ton Manitowoc 31000 crane onto the Mercedes Benz stadium construction project in 2018, the crane rental company called on a third-party inspector to make sure the crawler was ready to work. Maxim markets itself as the world’s largest crane provider, and relies on third-party inspections because almost all of the Cincinnati, Ohio-based company’s general contractor clients require it. “Most all of our industrial contractors now, and more of our commercial contractors every day, are going to a third-party inspector after the crane comes on their site,” said Barry Garrett, crane specialist of Maxim. Industrial contractors such as Georgia Power and Alabama Power require a load test of the specific crane Maxim delivers. “We perform the load test, of course, but it has to be observed by a third-party inspector and meet all the criteria in the lift plan. “More of our business has gone to third-party inspections, which we totally applaud,” he continued. “It covers us, it covers the contractor, it covers everyone involved with the crane on the job site, and if there is something that doesn’t pass, it can be fixed and addressed immediately.” Ray Feidt, corporate inspection/training manager of Stephenson Equipment Inc., Harrisburg, Pa., said his company is noting a trend toward third-party monthly inspections for monthlies. For a daily shift inspection, it would be ridiculous and logistically impossible to pay a third-party inspection service to come out and perform the inspection, he said. The clients who request that Stephenson perform monthly inspections do higher profile jobs, he said. They’re bigger general contractors who are more conscientious about these issues. “The new OSHA crane regulations that went into effect in 2010 brought a lot of new info into the crane world. It’s been a positive,” said Feidt. “Now that everybody’s had nine years to digest it and get used to it, I think companies are wanting to be sure the crane is OK. It’s catching on across the board, even in smaller construction companies, there is more of an awareness among owners and users they want this to be right.” He said the trend, especially when larger lattice-boom and hydraulic cranes are on the job site, that even from one location on site to another, if they tear it apart, move it and reassemble it, they want the crane re-inspected. “The industry is really starting to look at this more, and it’s a positive trend. It’s not perfect, but it’s good,” said Feidt. Third-party crane inspection service HESCO, of Niantic, Conn., is asked more and more to perform monthly inspections on large 10

construction jobs. Crane Inspector Ed Shapiro, HESCO founder, said on large local jobs involving an out-of-state contractor, it proved cheaper to have his firm perform monthly inspections on several cranes. The alternative was to send in someone from outof-state to spend the whole day on the job site whether they needed to or not. “It made good sense,” he said. Don’t Rubber-Stamp It One of the biggest issues with any crane inspection is a lot of time it’s not only assumed, but expected, that one person can thoroughly inspect a crane, said Feidt. He said the problem is the operator can’t be in the cab functioning the crane and be out looking at components such as wire rope at the same time. “Usually monthly inspections are performed by the operator by himself,” said Feidt, whose company bare-rents all of its cranes. “The customer falls back on his operator to perform the monthly inspection. Occasionally, we have certain companies that actually want us to come out and do their monthlies. For a few of them,

we will do the monthly inspection.” More companies are going to thirdparty monthly inspections because, larger companies especially, are starting to realize the monthly inspections are getting to be rubber-stamped, said Feidt. The rule is a crane has components that are supposed to be inspected every shift that the crane is used. The reality is it’s likely that 90 percent of the time the operator performs the inspections, Feidt said. The operator is on site, and he does a competent job — the best he can do. He’ll walk around, check things before he starts. Then when he starts he’ll check the crane’s operations. Every shift and every month the wire rope is supposed to be checked. “But it’s very hard to be in the cab turning the hoist and watching for defects at the same time. So, you run it a little, get

OSHA requires that monthly crane inspections be performed by a qualified person, but these days more companies are turning to third-party inspection and certification services to perform “monthlies.” Third-party monthly inspections cover everyone involved with the crane on the job site, and if something doesn’t pass inspection, it can be fixed and addressed immediately.

out and look at what you can see, go back into the cab and run it some more. It’s a process,” said Feidt, and one that operators adapt to. “You do what you can with the limitations you have. It’s the most unfair thing for crane operators in my book. You’re put in this position, given an inspection form, and told, ‘We expect you to do this every shift, every month.’ Even if he’s by himself, he needs to take the time to do the best job he can. It takes more time, but he has to be diligent.” Ideally, that operator will have help to complete the monthly inspection. Shapiro believes an inhouse mechanic would make the perfect wingman for the operator required to inspect the crane every month. “Biggest deficiency we write, the number-one infraction, is ‘no written signed and dated monthly inspection checklist log.’ Everybody takes, for instance, the Grove-provided manual that has every month and 31 days and the big checklist in the back of the book. The employer expects every An example of a bad wire rope operator to go through that checkdead end using a terminator list for his crane every day. No wedge socket.

Like Feidt, the other challenge that Shapiro recognizes is that no operator can perform the monthly by himself. “How can he see the hoist cable if he’s in the seat? It’s a twoman job for the operator and a competent person,” said Shapiro. What he’s tried to do over the years is push a HESCO-developed training program, specifically for mechanics, that covers the monthly inspection. “We train mechanics in a six-hour course on the various types of cranes, their structure, the lifting tackle, the wire rope, making certain operator aids are still working, and give them the inspection forms.” He also offers hands-on practice with the mechanic. If the crane is close by, he’ll go out and do an actual inspection. “The reason we selected the mechanic is they send him out every month to change the oil and filter. That’s the perfect time to do a monthly inspection. It’s economic, he’s already there, and the machine’s already off line, so he can do it all with the operator,” said Shapiro. “Problems can be repaired immediately, and minor fixes can happen right there. Say the back-up alarm isn’t working see INSPECTIONS page 23

Responsible growth — that’s Schaedler Enterprises Inc.’s (SEI) philosophy. The Toledo, Ohio-based contractor’s services are in high demand throughout the Northern Ohio, Southeastern Michigan, and Eastern Indiana market area served by the company. While SEI owner, Matt Schaedler welcomes the volume of business opportunities, he’s also cautious about maintaining a manageable workload to ensure complete customer satisfaction and ontime job completion of the work his company takes on. Schaedler’s focus on customer satisfaction consists of three equal factors: First, Schaedler Enterprises has gained a strong reputation for timely, cost effective work. Second is a staff, which includes an experienced team of operators, millwrights and iron workers that are (L-R): Andrew Forepaugh, Cleveland Crane & Shovel vice president of sales; Matt Schaedler, OSHA-compliant and NCCO, MSHAW, MOST, president and owner of Schaedler Enterprises Inc.; and Adam Aurelius, Crane sales, MUST, TWIC, and eRailSafe certified.

Norwalk, Ohio-based Mark Haynes Construction hired SEI as a subcontractor to work on a pedestrian bridge project for the Cleveland Metroparks. The pedestrian bridge, located in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland over West 7th Street, just north of Quigley Road, is part of the 101-mi. Towpath Trail, which follows the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal. The 130-ft. long by 14-ft. wide modular design steel truss bridge, weighing 40 tons, required delicate maneuvering to place. SEI’s role on the project included pile driving for the foundation and setting the bridge, which was constructed in two pieces and bolted together

The Grove GMK5250L is easy to permit and easy to transport — getting the crane to the job site in Cleveland from the company’s home base in Toledo was simply a matter of driving the crane to the job. The challenging part, however, occurred after arriving at the job site, the crane was up to the task “With the conditions we were working under, our Grove GMK5250L provided the perfect combination of features and capabilities for the work,” said Schaedler. excellent service and a regard for their “The all-terrain aspect of the crane and customers,” he said, which matches his the ability to perform in confined spaces own philosophy toward customer satiscame into play because, to avoid disrupt- faction.

SELF-ERECTING TOWER CRANES:

REVOLUTIONIZING THE BUILDING INDUSTRY

otain self-erecting tower cranes

are a mainstay of the global construction industry and now are taking hold in the building market in North America. These cranes offer significant cost savings and advantages for hoisting and material handling in all stages of the building process when compared to the conventional equipment in use today here in the United States, according to Stephenson Equipment. On a job site near King of Prussia, Pa., MK Builders had two of its Potain self-erecting cranes

in use. Leon King, site foreman, estimated that using self-erecting towers have improved the company’s building efficiency by 50 percent. “We used our first self-erecting tower crane in 2014 and after just one day we realized we need to incorporate these towers into our building process,” King said. Become More Efficient Builders like MK have found a more efficient way to build using self-erecting tower cranes, by: • Reducing number of framers required

Leon King, site foreman of MK Builders, said MK Builders used its first selferecting tower crane in 2014 and after just one day realized it needed to incorporate these towers into its building process.

The Potain IGO T 130 is the largest crane in the self-erecting Potain range. With a folding jib, the IGO T 130 fits in easily among even the tightest jobsite constraints. For larger job sites, the IGO T 130 has an under hook height of 60 to 119 ft. with horizontal jib, and a maximum under hook height of 200 ft. with a raised jib. It features a maximum radius of 164 ft. and a maximum capacity of 8.8 tons.

8100

CHOOSES LIEBHERR HS Thirty-two private oceanfront homes in Puerto Rico will have a firm foundation due to a Liebherr HS 8100 duty cycle crawler crane. Densification Inc., a Virginia-based company, chose the crane to help prepare residential building lots as part of a multimillion dollar project within a five diamond resort. Densification is using a 20-ton weight dropped from 80 ft. on the Puerto Rico project to prepare the site for further construction. The lots should be ready for home building in early 2020. Founded in 1994, Densification is based in Loudoun County, near

A Liebherr HS 8100 crane is readying the site for home construction in 2020.

Washington, D.C. The company is a dynamic compaction contractor and has successfully completed more than 900 projects throughout the United States and the Caribbean. Its experience also includes work on stadiums and airports, and the company has specialized knowledge and extensive experience in providing solutions to property owners and developers when there are poor soil conditions.

Densification Inc. chose a Liebherr HS 8100 crane to perform dynamic soil compaction work on a luxury residential project in Puerto Rico.

DUTY CYCLE CRAWLER CRANE

The crane was transported from the U.S. mainland to Puerto Rico and assembled at a remote job site. The design of the HS 8100 makes transport and setup efficient due to a self-assembly package that allows the crane to be unloaded and put together without the use of an assist crane. The HS 8100 is a 100 ton- (90 t-) class purposebuilt duty cycle crane with a maximum boom length of 194 ft. (59 m) and two 61,800 lb. (28,032 kg) line pull winches. With a transport height of 10.4 ft. (3.1 m) and a transport width of 11.4 ft. (3.4 m), the crane is easy to move and setup. Due to a modular design, the crane can easily be configured for special jobs, such as dynamic soil compaction, dragline, clamshell or material handling. All crane components are designed with space saving and weight optimization in mind to make moving on the road to and from job sites simple and efficient. The crane’s control system is based around color displays that clearly show machine and service data. Movements can be performed simultaneously, allowing for quick working cycles. Densification chose a Liebherr crane because of confidence it will withstand tough duty cycle use. It’s easy to mobilize, simple to operate and complements the company’s existing fleet of nearly two dozen cranes, according to Vice President Robert Shaffer. “The consistent performance of the HS 8100 gives us confidence the job will stay on schedule,” Shaffer said.

TCC-2500

BIG

The Kelly Group recently rented a Link-Belt 250-ton (230-t) TCC-2500 telescopic crawler crane from The ALL Family of Companies. In a little over seven months, the TCC-2500 logged 1,650 working hours, travelling a distance of 10 miles working around a railroad discharge facility in an agro-refinery complex.

MAKES IMPACT

The Kelly Group of Decatur, Ill., was founded in 1983 as a general contractor and sheet metal fabricator. Today it operates and employs five metal fabrication facilities and serves the agribusiness community and other industries including chemical plants, paper mills and manufacturing facilities in several states. The Kelly Group recently rented a Link-Belt 250-ton (230-t) TCC-2500 telescopic crawler crane from The ALL Family of Companies. In a little over seven months, the TCC-2500 logged 1,650 working hours, travelling a distance of 10 miles working around a railroad discharge facility in an agro-refinery complex. The rail line is flanked by silos and tanks with rooftop walkways, conveyors and enclosed motors. “When the trains came in or went through, we retract the boom, walk it over the train tracks to the other side, let the train cars come by, and then go back to the work location,” Ron McCoy, crane superintendent of The Kelly Group explained. “We walk it in, set up, boom out, do the picks, pull the boom back in, and walk it out several times a day.” The tallest tank, a 150 ft. (45.7 m) corn tank is being dismantled and removed in sections weighing up to 1,500 lbs. (680 kg). In some instances, the radius for removing sections of the old corn tank is up to 265 ft. (80.7 m) away. These lifts were completed by fully extending at 223 ft. (67.9 m) and erecting 117 ft. (35.6 m) of offset jib at 45 degrees to reach the farthest corners of the 80 ft. (24 m) in diameter corn tank. “Anything else was not really feasible. A big crawler crane did not have the space to be erected and lay it down when needed. With a truck crane, it would have to be a much larger capacity rig, over 500-ton capacity. We could have retracted the boom, and lift up the outriggers, but then have to tear all the counterweights off, [to reduce ground pressure thus losing time], then move it across the tracks. This would be at least twice a day. So the TCC-2500 was

extremely helpful. We figured out that we saved over $800,000 during this project just because of that crane, and that is a conservative estimate,” said McCoy. The Kelly Group and Ron McCoy were faced with a situation of getting a 110,000 lb. (49,895 kg) new vessel to a renovated area. The special heavy haul tractor/trailer could only get within 50 yards of the lift/placement site. The 250-ton crane off-loaded the large vessel and carried it to its final lift destination, including making a 90 degree turn around the building where the container would finally be placed. “We want repeat customers who will keep coming back. We don’t want to work for them just one time. We want them calling us back a second, third and a 200th time. So we have jobs for the TCC-2500, and when we bid these jobs, we’re saving our customers major money,” said McCoy. For more information, visit www.linkbelt.com. 

MANITOWOC PLEDGES TO HELP RECONSTRUCT NOTRE-DAME Following the fire that caused largescale damage to Notre-Dame de Paris, Potain — Manitowoc’s manufacturer of tower cranes — has pledged to support reconstruction efforts of the historic French cathedral. Manitowoc will provide tower cranes and related services free of charge. The terms of this offer have now been officially presented to the authorities. “It seemed natural to us that Potain, our tower crane brand that for more than

90 years has been involved in the construction of the most emblematic works of French architecture, is committed to rebuilding Notre Dame de Paris. Our cranes and technical expertise will be there to meet the challenge of a rapid reconstruction of the cathedral,” said Barry Pennypacker, president and CEO of The Manitowoc Company Inc. 

“[Self-erecting tower cranes] set up so quickly compared to conventional tower cranes,” said John Macik, building site manager of Easley and Rivers.

SELF-ERECTING from page 15

Remote Control Operation “The remote control operation of these cranes is awesome, it allows us to operate more efficiently and with less personnel. The remote makes these cranes even more the way to go,” said Macik. MK Builders’ King agreed, adding “the crane operator can rig several panels himself, pick and move them and unload in steps. Our operators have now become very efficient. “On this job site right now, our one tower crane operator with the remote is keeping 37 framers busy with panels as a one man crew,” King said. At times, the operator may use a rigger on the ground to assist and rig while the operator is using the remote up on the deck setting loads of panels for the framers, King added.

or an outrigger retention spring is broken. He can do enough while he’s there to mitigate some if not all of the deficiencies.” Feidt said the concept makes a lot of sense, so long as the situation is practical and the mechanic knows what to look for. He believes that ideally, someone should be out there helping the operator with the inspection. But should that wingman be the mechanic? “If he’s familiar with the crane,” Feidt emphasized. “If he does work on this crane and has been trained in understanding the criteria he’s expected to, then, yes.” But, he added, wearing the title of “mechanic” doesn’t mean you’re qualified or competent to inspect a crane. “Just because a mechanic knows how to remove a boom lift cylinder off a crane, rebuild it, and put it back on, does that make him qualified to inspect the entire crane? Absolutely not. He’s got to know the functionality of the crane, what to look for, what makes wire rope bad, what makes the hook block bad, and how accurate do operational aids have to be?” Feidt wondered how much experience is enough to deem a person competent or qualified to perform a crane inspection. Many entities say two to three years of experience in the crane industry on the type of crane your working with. But he doesn’t believe it’s that cut and dried. “Do they know what they’re looking at and the inspection criteria for that component? There are probably a lot of people out there inspecting cranes who don’t,” he said.  CG (Lucy Perry operates WordSkills Editorial Services in Kansas City, Mo.

position while allowing the boom to operate in a neutral zone. The systems weight savings allow the weight to be deployed elsewhere for strengthening the crane and increase lifting capacity. • Produced using the latest laser hybrid technology, the seven-section MEGAFORM boom employs an “Egg” shaped cross-section design for a natural cradling position combined with large easy-access wear pads to deliver superior boom alignment and excellent transition of weights between sections when telescoping. Additional weight savings without loss of capacity are gained because no stiffeners are required in the base section. With less weight and larger cross sections used, greater lifting capacity is gained at all radii. • The crane is powered by a six-cylinder Mercedes OM471LA Tier IV final engine matched up with a Mercedes G280 transmission, and new VIAB turbo clutch for smooth and powerful operation. • The hydraulic swing-away extension stows on the side of the base boom for easy transport and consists of a 39-ft. to 69-ft. bi-fold lattice swing-away extension, hydraulically off-settable and luffing under load, 5 to 50 degrees with a maximum tip height of 361 ft. with 26-ft. boom extensions and 26 ft. (2 x 8 m) jib inserts. • Grove’s Man Machine Interface (MMI) offers greater jobsite flexibility by allowing for control of the MEGATRAK suspension system from both sides of the carrier, as well as ground clearance adjustments independent of the outriggers and includes active suspension control and the outrigger pressure monitoring system.  CG
