Are Your Synthetic Slings Sunburned?

A

s a teenager, I spent many summer days sunbathing in my backyard drenched in baby oil. Today I’m more likely to be slathering on sunscreen and wearing a hat and sunglasses. Our fascination with tanning may have begun with the invention v of the bikini in 1946, later instilled in our social conscience by b the blond haired Coppertone girl and her cocker spaniel. It’s hard to t believe it was as recently as the 1990s when we first started hearing in i earnest from dermatologists about how damaging the sun is to our skin. Terms like melanoma, SPF, and ultraviolet (UV) rays are now part of our common vocabulary. This awareness transcends health and ventures into the world of safety. In 2003 the Web Sling and Tie Down Association (WSTDA) released test results showing UV degradation on synthetic web slings. According to the WSTDA, web slings can lose up to 40 percent of their strength when exposed to the sun for just 16 months. Recommendations for prevention are incorporated into the 2004 document “Recommended Standard Specification for Synthetic Web Slings.” The standard cautions that degradation can take place without visible indications, although some tip-offs include bleaching, stiffness, and abrasion. It identifies factors that affect the degree of loss and suggests ways to reduce the sun’s effect on slings. In February, the Technical Committee of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators (AWRF) voted to consider doing similar testing on synthetic round slings. The key difference here is that the core yarns that make up the load-bearing portion of a round sling are protected by an outer cover. Those covers come in a variety of colors and transparencies. The question has been raised whether some covers protect better than others. “Awareness of the At press time, the project was in the hands of the Round Sling Subcommittee and the scope and methodology of affects of UV rays the testing were not yet determined. transcends health In talking with a number of interested parties, it seems the topic may not be as straightforward as it first and ventures into appears, but it is sure to be one of much debate in the the world of safety.” coming months and years. While I don’t pretend to be an engineer or scientist, it only takes common sense to know that the sun does impact the viability of synthetic slings, just as it does our skin. Which types of fibers and to what degree in a given period are among the questions yet to be answered. In the meantime, look to existing research to guide your inspections of synthetic slings. Go to the Products/Standards section at www.wstda.com to purchase the UV Degradation Report and the standard mentioned previously. Likewise, ASME B30.9 may be useful as well as information from manufacturers of synthetic slings. Look for additional discussion about this in the Guest Perspectives this month on pages 14 and 15. Just as Australia continues its National Skin Cancer Awareness Campaign to combat the statistic that it has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world, awareness is also essential to the safety of sling users. Greater study can only lead to a better understanding of the issue as well as improved use and inspection of synthetic slings. I applaud these industry organizations for delving more deeply into these issues. And since construction workers spend so much of their time outdoors, I also want to mention that this month is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month. It may not have a direct correlation to cranes and rigging, but a reminder to workers to take precautions to protect their skin is a worthy topic for your next safety meeting.

A Dicey Takedown Plant demolitions are not unfamiliar to R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, but a job last year at an active New Jersey petrochemical plant was far from boring for the R. Baker crew. The company rented from United Crane & Rigging, Baltimore, Md., a 600-ton Terex Demag AC 500-1 hydraulic all-terrain crane, which was assisted by a 120-ton Grove GMK 6200-1 to take down the towers and stacks.

wo Potain tower cranes have stood over the site of the newest residence hall at the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga., for nearly a year now. Both were rented from AmQuip by Atlanta, Ga.-based Juneau Construction Company, LLC. The 22-ton Potain MD 485 B M20 and the 12-ton MDT 308 were used throughout construction, performing steel erection and installing precast spandrel panels and precast bands around the building’s exterior. Plans first called for positioning the 485 in the middle of the building. “But we’re so close to the Interstate, there’s an exit ramp behind the project. The boom was going to be out over that ramp, and the State Department of Transportation wouldn’t allow us to do that. We had to go with a secondary crane,” explained Eric Kerley, Juneau’s vice president. At press time the MDT 308 had been taken down, and the MD 485 was to remain on site until mid-summer. Kerley was happy to report both cranes have performed as expected on the project.

open houses in both Houston and Baton Rouge, La., promoting these cab-down RTs as the first new cranes of this kind to enter the refinery and petrochemical markets in many years. In related news, Manitex International, Bridgeview, Ill., has received new orders of about $5 million for the company’s boom truck cranes. “The new crane orders are split among three of the top growth areas that we’ve been pursuing, namely international distribution, independent rental fleets, and the energy support sector,” said Scott Rolston, senior vice president, sales and marketing.

erex Cranes, Zweibrucken, Germany, has introduced the AC 100/4L all-terrain crane, featuring a 195-foot main boom, and optimized for a broad range of applications. With its variable extension system, the 110-ton AT reaches a maximum system length of 268 feet. According to Terex, the crane sets a new standard by combining capacity with standard truck dimensions in an 8-foot width when equipped with large 445/95R25 tires. With a 62-foot double fly jib added the lift height is 257 feet. According to the company, this is the longest system length traveling on four axles with an axle load of 13 tons or less. The crane’s maximum system length is 268 feet. Customers want both compactness and long system lengths, said Thomas Hartmann, sales director for Terex Cranes. “With the AC 100/4L we have a crane that is easy to operate and meets our customers’ demands,” he added. The AT is equipped with a variable system for extending its main boom. The double fly jib can be mounted directly on the telescopic boom or on an additional 26-foot extension installed between the telescopic boom and the double fly jib. The system makes for fast rigging, as the double fly jib can be transported within a 13-ton axle load. MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com

Declines in 2009 U.S. Equipment Exports Steadily Improve

U

.S. construction equipment exports dropped more than 38 percent in 2009, totaling $12.8 billion worth of machinery that was shipped to other countries, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). Overall, however, quarter-to-quarter declines steadily improved, ending with a fourth-quarter gain of 26 percent. Declines of between nearly 30 to 50 percent for major world regions were marked. South and Central America, as well as Asia, were among those seeing the smallest declines. AEM consolidates U.S. Commerce Department data for off-road equipment with other sources into quarterly export trend reports. “Exports have literally been a lifeline for the construction equipment industry, which saw U.S. business plummet more than 40 percent last year and unemployment soar to more than double the national average,” stated AEM President Dennis Slater. “Global trade has been a significant source of industry expansion in recent years, and many economies are now rebounding faster than the U.S.” Export sales to South America declined 29 percent in 2009 for a total of $2.4 billion compared to 2008. Central America took delivery of $1.3 billion worth of U.S. construction equipment, a 34-percent decrease, and exports to Asia dropped 35 percent in 2009, for a total of $2 billion.

Guest Perspective e

By Dennis St. Germain Jr.

The Unseen Enemy Understanding the effects of UV exposure on roundslings Editor’s Note: This issue of Crane Hot Line features two Guest Perspectives on the topic of UV degradation of synthetic slings. It’s a complex issue with differing opinions. See these articles by Dennis St. Germain Jr. and Linda Summars, and turn to Crane Talk on page 4 for more info.

I

n 1989, a presentation was made on our new synthetic high performance Twin-Path® slings to a rigging group at a shipyard in St. John, New Brunswick. Their facility was located adjacent to the Bay of Fundy. To make heavy lifts the shipyard had been using a set of four-inch diameter by 90-foot-long wire rope slings. Because these slings were so heavy and awkward to handle, they were stored outdoors beside the dry dock and subjected to cold, heat, salt air, and rain. After only two years the wire rope slings had to be replaced due to the corrosive effects of the environment. The benefits of the High Performance Twin-Path slings were explained to the riggers, including lighter weight and ease of handling. Surprisingly, the riggers identified a benefit we did not consider. Because of their light weight, these slings could be stored inside rather than subjected to the debilitating effects of weather. Ultimately, the shipyard purchased these slings, which lasted 15 years.

Dennis St. Germain Jr. is the executive vice president of Slingmax® Rigging Solutions, Aston, Pa. In addition, he serves on technical committees for both the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators and Cordage Institute as Roundsling subcommittee chairman. He can be reached at saint@ iandisling.com.

and is not visible to the human eye. UV light degrades synthetics by transferring energy into the fibers. This energy can cause damage by breaking down the molecular bonds in a fiber’s structure. The main source of UV light is the sun, but some UV light is also created by welding arcs, fluorescent lighting, and Xenon light, which is now used in automobiles as a brighter headlamp. Generally, darker colors provide better UV resistance than lighter colors. Thicker materials resist UV light better than thinner. Additionally, thicker materials allow the surface to suffer UV degradation while retaining strength in the inner core material. A research study by the Web Sling and Tie Down Association published in 2003 confirmed what industry experts already suspected. (See charts below.) Long-term UV exposure reduces the breaking strength of web slings. Polyester web slings lost up to 30 percent of their strength during the first 12 months of exposure, after which the strength loss leveled off. Nylon web slings showed a strength loss of up to 50-60 percent after 36 months of exposure with no indication of leveling off. This report is available for purchase at www.wstda.com. The important question is this: Should web slings be given a maximum life expectancy like the five-year shelf life of synthetic fall protection gear?

The UV connection It is a fact that corrosion of steel from exposure can be slowed by various methods like painting, galvanizing, plating, and covering with heavy grease, but nonetheless, many accidents have occurred because the hidden damage was not identified by normal inspection. Synthetic materials used for running ropes and slings are not subject to hidden damage from rust and corrosion, but they are weakened in much the same way by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than violet light,

In Light of It All A discussion of the effects of UV on synthetic slings

The Inspectable Roundsling

M

y brother and I are slingmakers. Our father was a slingmaker. Now my son is also, and I’m instilling in him the same message I heard my daddy tell many riggers: “Men’s lives depend upon the quality of our slings.” So, although, I am very proud to be the inventor of The Inspectable Roundsling, the idea is rooted in his passion for a better and safer product. As part of our product development, the transparent cover technology used in The Inspectable Roundsling endured a test in August 2008 to compare the potential for UV degradation of the load bearing core yarns to those of both polyester and nylon opaque covers. For the test, FIRST Sling Technology provided the Inspectable Roundsling technology, Filtec Precise Inc. provided the core yarns and break testing, and Murdock Webbing provided the jackets and Xenon Arc machine for exposure testing. Textile engineers had no doubt that the transparent jacket would offer equal protection from ultraviolet light, but good companies test their own products in support of their claims.

What the standards say When discussing the sun’s effect on synthetic slings, it’s important to know what the standards have to say about it. In its most recently published version, ASME B30.9-2006 Slings has three chapters that address synthetic slings. Chapter 4 is dedicated to Rope Slings, Chapter 5 to Webbing Slings, and Chapter 6 to Roundslings. Both Chapters 4 and 5 address sunlight and UV, but Chapter 6 is silent on the issue. Why? Because roundslings are the “baby” of slings. Until 2003, B30.9 Chapter 6 Roundslings did not even exist! Notice in these excerpts from Chapters 4 and 5 that the exact same UV statement is made for both synthetic rope and webbing slings. Chapter 4 Synthetic Rope Slings, section 9-4.8.3 Sunlight and Ultraviolet Light: The strength of synthetic rope slings is degraded by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light.

Testing was done to 100 and 500 Xenon Arc Hours, respectively. Note that 500 simulated UV hours equates to years of service in natural exposure. All reductions in breaking strength were within the average unexposed yarn break range.

by different roundsling covers. Testing has found that while some covers provide adequate protection, others do not. Since ultraviolet light can cause loss of strength to synthetic fibers and is essentially hidden damage similar to the corrosion of steel, the inspector needs education to recognize the issues. The chart above displays test results of UV degradation to various roundsling cores and covers used by riggers around the world. This testing was requested by Slingmax Rigging Solutions and conducted independently by Murdock Webbing Co. in the United States and DSM in The Netherlands. Murdock Webbing performed UV testing and residual strength testing was done by DSM Dyneema®. Despite being much more expensive than our initial “flashlight testing,” it shows the same basic results. (In our initial test, a high powered flashlight was placed behind the double-wall of all popular colors used in roundslings to determine which colors were to be used in additional testing.) The field test of any cover may be quite simple. If you hold a flashlight against the cover and do not see light shining through the other side, it’s a good sign. A study of the chart above shows the vast difference in protection afforded by various types of roundsling covers. The dark green Covermax® is much thicker than other roundsling covers and therefore, the loss of the sling’s core strength is negligible. Roundslings protected by the thinner lighter colored covers lost the most core strength. Several important lessons were learned from this testing: 1) Most roundsling core fibers show no visible indications of damage after their 500 hours of UV exposure in the Xenon weathering machine. (See photo below left.) 2) When opaque covers show fading it is a sure indicator of UV degradation to the core fiber. (See photo below right.)

3) High molecular Polyethylene (HMPE) fibers show more resistance to UV degradation than polyester fibers. 4) However, some high-performance fibers, such as Aramids, are more adversely affected by UV. In general, stiff and/or faded covers are an indication of UV degradation. If a colored sling is faded beyond color recognition: remove it from service. The odds are you have at least a 30 percent loss of ultimate strength. The next question is this: Is there a mechanical way to determine “hidden” UV damage in a roundsling? The answer is yes. On February 16, 2010, the United States issued a patent to Slingmax Rigging Solutions (US #7,661,737) for a pre-failure warning indication system for all roundslings. It’s called the Check-Fast® inspection system. The following is a brief explanation of how it works. Every roundsling is made up of multiple wraps of the same strand of fiber. A roundsling made with the Check-Fast inspection system adds an extra wrap called a “sacrificial strand.” The ends of this independent strand are equally tensioned among the other load bearing core yarns via a “weak link.” The weak link material has a calculated lower breaking strength than the core yarn material, and it degrades faster when exposed to ultraviolet light. When the sling is exposed to severe overload or UV damage, the weak link breaks first, well before the remaining strands reach their failure point. Finally, a colored External Warning Indicator (EWI) strand is attached to the weak link and will disappear inside the sling cover when the weak link fails. In addition to the visible indications, this EWI is what the rigger looks for upon each inspection. If you see this indicator yarn and there is no other cover damage, it is a GO! If the roundsling is subjected to severe overload when tensioned, or in this case, severe UV deterioration, the weak link breaks and whips the indicator strand inside the cover so fast it makes an audible POP sound— definitely a NO-GO!

Chapter 5 Synthetic Webbing Slings, section 9-5.8.3 Sunlight and Ultraviolet Light: The strength of synthetic webbing slings is degraded by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light.

(WSTDAUV-Sling 2003 is a Web Sling and Tie Down Association publication found at www.wstda.com). Note that testing done by these associations may provide additional useful information. Meanwhile, the Technical Committee of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators voted in February to develop a plan to test the effects of UV on roundslings. The member request stated, “Currently there are cover questions as to what color, thickness and weave effectively protects the internal core yarn from ultra violet light damage.” WSTDA will most likely consider additional UV testing also. Likewise, the standards acknowledge what the industry already knows—that UV exposure may damage roundsling cores and cause loss of strength. For example, WSTDA’s Recommended Standard Specification for Synthetic Polyester Roundslings, WSTDA-RS-1, Section 4.9.1 states: “Roundslings should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent loss of strength when not in use through exposure to ultraviolet rays.” And B30.9-6.10.3 makes a similar recommendation.

He has numerous credentials in textile engineering, more than 40 years of industry experience, and has written various expert articles for publications such as the Textile Research Journal. According to Gerrow, and based upon scientific research and evidence, these are some of the replies that we may expect to receive regarding roundsling cover questions. • Will the color of the roundsling cover make a difference in UV protection? –No. “It is not as simple as picking the right color. Any given color can be good or bad. The exception is the neonstyle colors which always have a shorter life. Solution-dyed yarns are better than piece-dyed products. There can be a good dark and there can be weak dark materials. There can be good light colored products, and there can be bad light colored products.” • Will the thickness of the roundsling cover make a difference in UV protection? –Yes. “The heavier the material, the longer the life.” • Will the weave of the roundsling cover make a difference in UV protection? –Possibly. “The chemistry used in processing the webbing is extremely critical. Each company (manufacturer) has their proprietary formulations. Finally, the chemistry and processing of material have as much to do with the end results as the choice of yarns.”

At the heart of the matter

Future safety advancements depend on the study of roundsling core yarns. Traditional (color-coded by cover) roundslings have a polyester core which is a UV-resistant polymer. But with the introduction of Current evidence Extra High Performance (EHP) core All types of synthetic slings have In this application, high performance Inspectable Roundyarns, there are many questions that at least one thing in common – slings are used with removable edge protection made of a slingmakers need to ask of the core filaments or yarns.

The Challenges

of Moving Mobile Cranes Dollies provide solutions for transport

M

oving mobile cranes to and from job sites poses significant challenges for crane owners across North America. Many all-terrain cranes are designed and built to meet European transport requirements that are vastly different from the requirements in the United States and Canada. In general, European regulations allow for heavier axle loadings with short compact axle spacing. U.S. regulations vary widely from state to state, but in general axle loading is reduced and spacing increased to spread the load out over a greater distance. To further complicate crane transport, each state, province, and some local municipalities have their own rules and regulations. For this reason, geography is important when designing products for transporting cranes. The dolly or trailer must have the proper axle spacing to accommodate over-the-road

permit requirements for the region. The use of crane boom dollies is one tool crane owners have for making their cranes transport-acceptable. With a dolly, the boom is swung to the rear of the crane where it is carried by the dolly. With special overweight and oversize permits in hand, dollies can help crane owners move even the largest cranes rated up to 600 tons. However, dollies have also been used on cranes as small as 50 tons. In addition, in some states, dollies can be used

to transport counterweight. This allows some truck cranes, such as the Grove TMS9000E and Link-Belt HTC-8690, for example, to move over the road with everything they need and without a separate counterweight truck. While this is true in many areas of the country, Ohio is one state where counterweight is not allowed to be carried by a dolly. The 275-ton, five-axle Grove GMK 5275 all-terrain crane provides a good example of the wide range of varying transport

A Link-Belt HTC-8690 truck crane uses a tri-axle dolly. In some states the dolly can be used instead to haul counterweight.

requirements. In Texas this machine can be legally permitted with a simple two-axle dolly. In many states a standard tri-axle dolly is required. To meet bridge law requirements in Missouri and Florida the crane is required to have a spread-axle dolly. This same crane can be moved in Pennsylvania without a dolly at all. While in Minnesota, the GMK5275 cannot be permitted even with a dolly as the axle spacing is too close together to meet the state requirements. However, Minnesota does allow larger six-, seven, and eightaxle cranes to be moved with a boom dolly. Frost laws are another consideration for crane owners moving equipment in most Canadian provinces and some northern U.S. states. Frost laws temporarily reduce allowable axle loadings in the spring when the ground is thawing. For some cranes, this may be the only time a dolly is required for it to be moved. In Michigan, for example, Nelson has

built numerous dollies for smaller cranes that allow the machine to be moved with all of its counterweight most of the time. During frost law season the counterweight is hauled on a separate truck while utilizing the same dolly on the crane. Weight laws are not the only differences that must be taken into account when deciding the best way to move a crane. In the United States, boom dollies are exempt from having anti-lock brake systems (ABS) because the device is classified as a load divider dolly. However, ABS is required in Canada.

Likewise, many dollies in Canada are attached to the rear of the crane carrier with a pintle hitch. When the dolly is towed the “tower” of the dolly or boom support must roll fore and aft as the crane maneuvers and turns while traveling. This makes this dolly style heavier than the standard dolly. Among the advantages are that the dolly and counterweight are towed behind the crane with the boom to the front, making it easier to hook the boom up in preparation for work. Nelson has built this type of dolly with up to five axles.

Product Focus Selecting a dolly or other transport device When selecting a boom dolly, there are a few key specifications to consider: the method of attachment to the boom, float kits, and brake compatibility. Any boom attachment should be approved by the crane manufacturer. Nelson Manufacturing works directly with the engineering departments of all of the major crane manufacturers serving North America to make sure that we are handling the crane boom or an RT crane carrier properly. Any and all welding to the boom or carrier should be approved by the crane manufacturer prior to completing any of this work. In many cases these booms are manufactured from high tensile steel and field welding is not allowed. The crane must also be equipped with a boom float kit which allows the boom to float up and down and swing when turning. When it comes to brakes, most Europeanbuilt cranes automatically supply air to the dolly when the air lines are connected, which releases the parking brakes. (Dolly wheels should be chocked to prevent the dolly from rolling during connect and disconnect processes.) Also some crane models have a higher crack pressure on the air brake. In this situation, if the dolly brake valve is not compatible the dolly will try to stop the crane by itself during light brake applications. This can cause skidding of the dolly tires making the crane difficult to drive and causing excessive tire and brake wear on the dolly. On the largest all-terrain cranes—such as the Terex Demag AC 500 or AC 700, Liebherr’s LTM1400 or LTM1500, and the Grove

GMK6350 and GMK7550—dollies are successful in getting these machines road legal in only a handful of areas. In most cases the booms must be removed and transported separate from the crane. Nelson Manufacturing offers a line of boom launch trailers designed to remove and install the boom without the use of an assist crane. This can save thousands of dollars per trip as a second crane does not have to be dispatched just to install the boom on the AT. After operators become familiar with this system they can often “launch” the boom in 30 to 40 minutes. Again weight laws play a critical role in determining the number of axles and the axle spacing of the boom launch trailer. Front jeeps, detachable axles, and spreader beams are sometimes required to permit some of the larger booms on the boom launch trailer. Nelson has recently introduced a lighter-

weight boom launch trailer for use with the more popular crane models. This weight-optimized design offers all of the same features and conveniences of the traditional boom launch trailer, but does not require a “super load permit.” Rough-terrain cranes are typically hauled on hydraulic removable gooseneck trailers. However on certain models it makes sense to use a Nelson Pin-n-Go trailer. This system includes a gooseneck and a backend that pins onto the crane, turning it into a selfsupporting load. On some cranes, such as the Link-Belt RTC-80100 and Grove RT9130, the Pin-n-Go system pins to the crane with the removable outrigger boxes removed. On other machines, such as the Grove RT875E, lugs are added to the front and rear of the crane to connect to the system. By using this system, the weight of the “trailer” is reduced because there is no deck. Using the system can also be faster than chaining a crane down to a gooseneck trailer. Prior to purchasing any heavy equipment, including cranes, buyers should consider the method for moving the equipment. Your crane dealer or dolly manufacturer can help you determine what’s best for your specific application and location. It’s also a good idea to submit axle spacing and weight to your state permit department before purchasing a crane. Before purchasing any crane, among the two most important questions you should ask yourself are: Where will I take this crane and how do I get there? Lift charts, price, and reliability mean nothing if you cannot get the crane to the job. MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com

U.S. sellers of used cranes find buyers across the border

n the current economy, many crane owners are choosing to sell off idle equipment rather than wait for business to pick up, making this a buyer’s market. Though exports of new construction equipment took a beating in 2009, the good news is demand remains high from the international community for good-quality used U.S. equipment. Even better is the fact that our nearest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, are still at the top of the list of buyers. The key to selling cranes in either market is to know what’s hot and how to package it. “There’s a tremendous amount of equipment on the market,” says Eddy Kitchen of Kitchen’s Crane & Equipment, Chester, Va., speaking from the seller’s perspective. About 60 percent of Kitchen’s exports go to Central and South America, as well as Mexico. “There are a lot of scam artists out there saying ‘I can do this’ and ‘I can supply you with this crane,’ ” he continues. “The bottom line is it’s all about relationships, how you take care of the client, and the relationship you have with them.”

The buyer’s perspective is just as telling. “The world is small, so they’d better have a product we need,” Jim Lucas of Encore Trucking & Transport Ltd., says of sellers in general. He and his brother Don serve western Canada with their Edmonton, Alberta, crane and transport company. Jim Lucas is candid in his comments: “Those of us who are prepared to buy, even sight unseen, from the American market, are equally prepared to go elsewhere, so nobody can rest on their laurels,” adds Lucas. “Nobody can get complacent these days.”

The current situation All types and vintages of cranes are passing through the auction yards of Vancouver, Canada-based Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers. Rob Mackay, Ritchie Bros. president, says the company continues to see a crosssection offered up for auction. He stresses the advantages of marketing to a global audience via the auction experience: “Given the state of the North American economy, a seller must reach beyond the local boundar-

Asked for his take on the market, Lucas says the picture is askew because the economy has slowed. “There are more deals, but in a used market, [sellers] tend to think their [machines] are dear. I beg to differ.” Then, there are the buyers with limited funds who want to be sure they’re making the right decision. “A lot of guys need a bigger comfort zone,” MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com


Slate Affair is a Vermont company specializing in slate construction and repair of decorative roofing. The idea behind purchasing the Tadano TM1052 10-ton boom truck was for its versatility, says Tower, who regularly uses the remote control for positioning loads or with a personnel basket. “It has opened doors to other work. When a building’s under construction, you’ll find they’ll ask you for everything from lifting materials for other contractors to the homeowner coming up with ideas for new projects—all because the crane is there already. I wanted to eliminate having to hire people to do work when most of the work involves just moving things.

Business Issues Lucas continues. “For a lot people it’s a big decision, and they have buyer’s remorse. People second-guess themselves. It’s easier to make mistakes when you’re dealing farther afield.” The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) compiles data for off-road equipment into quarterly export trend reports. Although U.S. construction equipment exports fell by more than one-third in 2009, the association notes that South and Central America and Asia are among those regions experiencing the smallest 2009 yearly declines. After Canada, the top buyers of U.S.-made construction machinery were Mexico, Australia, Chile, Brazil, and China, in that order. Dennis Slater, AEM president, believes it is crucial that the federal government ease the reins on international business in order to move American products. “Many of our smaller companies increasingly rely on exports to keep their businesses operating,” Slater said earlier this year, in announcing the launch of a pilot program with Ex-Im Bank to help companies maximize their export opportunities.

Headed for Southern Climes Kitchen says 75 percent of the cranes his company sells to Central and South America are purchased directly by the end user, “because I’m selling not just cranes, but platform trailers and gantries also, and I’m doing a lot of repeat business.” Often the customer knows he’ll need a crane in addition to the other equipment, so Kitchen will try to fill that need as well. “I just shipped three RT cranes and they actually were to the end user, but [the sale was] arranged through a crane sales company in South America.” Kitchen says there are some companies with the financial resources to shop for latermodel units, but they still aren’t buying new. “They’re saying ‘get me something between three and five years old that has relatively good hours and has been well maintained.’” Machine safety enhancements have not been in high demand, he says. He explains that the typical anti two-block is adequate, while cameras and computer systems are nice but not necessary. “They’re looking for value more than anything else,” he says. Kitchen’s Crane & Equipment gets calls for crawler cranes rated at 220 tons and up

The demand for U.S. construction equipment remains high near our borders. Canada and Mexico both top the list of buyers, but so do several other countries in South America. It pays to do your homework of the before putting out the For Sale sign, however, as countries differ on where they stand regarding equipment imports. Brazil, for example, won’t allow the import of anything that isn’t new. “Brazil invested many years to create strong local manufacturing,” says Raphael Castillo, managing partner in Latin America for The Alta Group, a firm that represents leasing companies and vendors in other countries. “Brazil has very tough controls, and the import of used equipment is forbidden there.” It’s a completely different story in Mexico, however. The financial system there is diverse, and there are many funding sources available for financing the equipment you do sell. Plus, says Castillo, cross-border leasing is acceptable, but it pays to look at the taxes involved in the sale. The good news, he says, is that there is a double-taxation treaty between the U.S. and Mexico, which qualifies a bank-affiliated lessor to receive a reduced withholding tax rate. “The issue with the lessor being in the U.S. is how to deal with the credit risk and country risk. Mexico has good infrastructure, credit bureaus, etc.,” says Castillo, adding that the seller must have the ability to team up with a local institution there to provide equipment financing on his terms. “Most [U.S. sellers] are planning to sell for cash, and we would suggest they go into a leasing situation in Mexico. Most leasing companies that exist today in Mexico are organized as multipurpose financing organizations.” Castillo suggests studying the largest players when deciding who to work with. Then, he says to structure the deal, the seller should go through a checklist, including how to deal with taxes, how to finance the deal, what kind of customer he’s working with, and how he’s going to get paid. “You need a local player who can find buyers and screen them,” he says. “This organization can provide a lease or long-term financing, as well as short-term financing.” Beyond that, Castillo says, the seller should look at the specifics of the sale, such as whether there will be a contingency plan if an accident should happen with the machine, or how to work with a riskmanagement organization if he is retaining an interest in the equipment.

and all sizes of RTs, ranging from 30 to 110 tons, reports Kitchen. “And I’m getting [requests] for older, larger-capacity AT cranes. Some of them don’t even want late-model machines. They want 1980s to 1990s equipment that have the capacity.” Meanwhile, truck cranes don’t draw many buyers because in parts of South America there are local truck crane manufacturers. The import fees to bring in a crane under 60 or 70 tons would be almost double the cost of the crane simply because South American countries want to promote their own domestic construction equipment sales. In Mexico, buyers represent both end users and resellers or dealers. Ritchie Bros., too, has found that these shoppers are looking for RTs as well as hydraulic truck cranes. Construction equipment safety standards are more relaxed in Mexico than in the United States. Couple that with a depressed economy, and Mexican buyers tend to seek older used machines. They typically go after models that are more than five years old, Mackay reports. Kitchen finds that demand from Mexico is down in comparison to Central and South America. He attributes it to a reduction in job starts and a devalued peso. One customer, with whom he has a good business relationship, simply can’t afford to purchase anything right now because of the exchange rate between the peso and the dollar. The inquiries he does get from Mexico are from contractors who have jobs on the books. “They’ve won the contract, and now they need the equipment,” he says. However, the demand for transport equipment is strong, due in part to the wind turbine manufacturing business in Mexico, which needs to transport components throughout the country. “I’m still getting a lot of interest,” Kitchen says. “There are still transport projects where they need trailers, specialized rigging equipment, hauling, and transport equipment. Some companies that have been successful in different sectors are gearing up for the wind market that is sure to come their way. There are already projects taking place, and there will be more.”

The Great White North In Canada, inventories of used cranes are higher than in past years, says Mackay, however, the country is still a good market for late-model, low-hour machines. Buyers want these types of cranes from all categories, including mid-size to large RTs, which MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com

Business Issues still represent the largest sector. The lifting capacity on truck cranes sought by Canadian buyers continues to climb; 40 tons plus is the norm now, says Mackay. The parts business is part of what attracts Lucas to purchasing cranes from the United States. After the salesman has sold their first crane, the availability of parts and service is what sells the second one, says Lucas. “If parts and service aren’t there, we go elsewhere, or we have real reservations about buying a second crane.” Encore often turns to CraneWorks, Inc., Houston Texas, for latemodel used picker cranes. “If parts and service aren’t there, we go elsewhere, or we have reservations about buying a second crane.” Lucas says he buys cranes based on what the work calls for, however, “I try to stay with the same make. It makes sense to have the same style of crane. It requires less familiarization time [for the crew] and you know there are certain parts on your shelf that will fit four or five cranes.” He explains that narrowing the number of makes of cranes in a fleet cuts down on a host of maintenance problems and the need for operational and maintenance expertise as well.

BORDER SALES

Encore Trucking & Transport Ltd., Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, purchased this 38-ton Manitex 38124SHL boom truck crane, as well as others, directly from CraneWorks, Inc., Houston, Texas.

“But when you don’t have money you can’t be as selective. That’s when you end up with a Heinz 57 fleet,” he says. Canadian crane owners face many of the same safety standards as American end users, so Canadian buyers demand today’s technology, even in used equipment whenever they can get it. “Your crane is not welcome in many of these plants if it isn’t up to snuff with all of the safety features,” says Lucas. “We need all the safety features the new cranes have. In Alberta, we have strict standards; we have a very thorough certification program every year.” Encore’s fleet is made up of used cranes that originated in a variety of countries, such as Italy and Japan, as well as the United States. But because Encore prefers to work directly with the seller, being able to speak the same language as the seller is an advantage when buying from the United States. “We don’t use a broker; we talk directly with these guys,” says Lucas. Other benefits to buying used equipment from the United States include the time factor and an expectation that the equipment will be in good running condition when it arrives.

A Dicey Takedown Demo crew taps Terex Demag for complicated petrochemical plant dismantle The trickiest lift at the New Jersey petrochemical plant was of a rusted 90,000-pound sulphur recovery unit made at a 75-foot radius. R. Baker crews used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader bar to lift it. “That structure was made for a spreader bar pick,” said Bryan Simoes, R. Baker project manager.

P

lant demolitions are not unfamiliar to R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, but a run-of-the-mill job last year at an active New Jersey petrochemical plant was far from boring for the R. Baker crew. The job involved dismantling two 300foot towers; a 160-foot tall by 16-foot diameter column; tubed heat exchangers, tanks, boilers, and a cooling tower; rail loading equipment and other vessels; pumps and associated piping; and steel work. In fact, when Bryan Simoes, project manager for the Red Bank, N.J., company, says, “This was a good project for us,” you hear the pride in his voice, and know he actually means it was an opportunity for the crew to shine in a challenging situation. “Not having anything fall to pieces was an accomplishment. It will be a memorable job because everything went very well,” said Simoes.

An ‘awesome machine’ Because of the site’s close proximity to active lines and equipment, the crew opted to rent a 600-ton Terex Demag AC 500-1 hydraulic allterrain crane from United Crane & Rigging, Baltimore, Md. Simoes 28 CRANE HOT LINE

said they were actually looking at using a crawler crane, but were limited on space required for boom assembly. “We were able to assemble a luffing jib in a whole lot less space than, say, 340 feet of lattice boom,” he said. “And it met the criteria for tonnage. We were only allowed to use 75 percent of the crane chart as a safety factor.” The crane was set up with 183 feet of main boom and 157.5 feet of luffer with a Superlift, giving the crew a total of 340 feet of boom. Some 308,000 pounds of counterweight was used. Though they chose to rent the big crane, the R. Baker crew is familiar with the Demag, having used a 500-2 model on a stack job in Syracuse, N.Y. Simoes considers United’s 500-1 an awesome machine. “It’s really easy to set up,” he said. Assisting the Demag in taking down the towers and stacks was a 120-ton Grove GMK 6200-1, also from United’s rental fleet and chosen because of its capacity. “We also used the same crane as a [personnel] basket crane,” said Simoes. “We had around 320 to 330 feet of boom on it.” Continued on page 32 > MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com

Region Report < Continued from page 28

Always safety first The job called for the complete dismantling of one plant in order to make way for a new build next to the old one, all within an active plant. Roadways, lines and utilities, including a high-pressure sulfur line and a hydrogen line, bounded the work area. Because of the working environment, safety was first and foremost on this project, reported Damon Kozul, senior vice president for R. Baker. In addition, fall protection was a major concern due to work at high elevations. It was necessary for crews to work from personnel baskets in order to safely dismantle the towers and column. “Prior to any work, numerous safety meetings and inspections were conducted,” explained Kozul. OSHA engineering surveys, critical lift and rigging plans stamped by a professional engineer, and a sitespecific Health and Safety Plan, and Work Plan, were all developed. Underground lines were marked, the area was secured with fencing, and proper signage was placed. Each day, work permits were issued, safety equipment was inspected daily, job safety analysis reports were made, and safety toolbox talks were conducted. R. Baker’s staff spent considerable effort developing the critical lift and engineered rigging plans. They performed an engineering inspection of the towers and column to determine structural stability and integrity, and reviewed existing drawings. They then calculated where the cuts would be made on the column and towers. Cranes were chosen for the job based on pick heights, crane swing radius, and rigged load weight.

It’s out with the old To allow for crane access, structures around the towers and column had to be demolished. Once that was done, dismantling commenced. The plant’s massive absorber desuperheater was dismantled by high-pressure water cutting and taken apart in three sections. Two 70-ton hydraulic cranes from R. Baker’s fleet were mounted with personnel baskets so that the crew could tackle the cutting work. Once pre-cutting was completed, the Demag was mobilized. Each of the structure’s three sections was rigged and lowered to the ground by the AT crane. The dismantling of the two 300-foot tall towers then began. Scaffolds were installed to facilitate the intricate rigging and removal of stack sections in 50-foot intervals. The goal was to attach rigging points at two elevations within each 50-foot interval. “We took the top part and the 50-foot stack first,” recalled Simoes. “We then went up, set I-beams up to support the cables we ran down it, and installed three suspended scaffolds on one cable so each man could travel up and inside the lattice work.” Simoes said the crew would precut the inner stack, then lift it along with the outer lattice. Then personnel baskets were attached to two 190-ton R. Baker hydraulic cranes and the crew hot-cut the structure into sections, which were lowered to the ground via the Terex Demag for final demolition by excavators with shears. “We used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader bar on the towers until we reached a certain height,” continued Simoes. “Once you add length to them you lose capacity, so we went to a Mod 110 spreader beam.” The trickiest lift of all for the crew was not the highest but the heaviest. “It was around 90,000 pounds at a 75-foot radius,” he explained. “We used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader bar to lift it only because it was a sulphur recovery unit and everything was rusty. That structure was 32 CRANE HOT LINE

Scaffolds were installed so that R. Baker & Son crews could dismantle two 300-foot stacks in 50-foot sections. One crew would precut the inner stack, and lift it along with the outer lattice, while another hot-cut the structure into sections, which were lowered to the ground with the help of a 600-ton Terex Demag AC 500-1, rented from United Crane & Rigging. made for a spreader bar pick.” The crew was also charged with removing obsolete piping and pipe racks, but dove in only after confirming that each line was deenergized, drained and disconnected. Pipes to be cut and cut points were verified twice in a coordinated effort with R. Baker and the client’s personnel. Work started from the open end of a pipe to ensure that it was not an active line, and crew members worked in personnel lifts with fall protection. Pipe sections were secured by rope, come-along, or crane. “We took a 95-foot long piece of 24-inch Schedule 80 pipe off the rack with the Demag,” said Simoes. After being cut free, piping was lowered to the ground by the crane to avoid any free-fall of dismantled sections within the live plant.

Staying busy Check out the portfolio of R. Baker & Sons All Industrial Services, and you’ll find a lot of dismantling work, especially detail dismantling. In fact, in its service profile, the company touts itself as “the premier specialized contractor for dismantlement, decommissioning, and demolition in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.” Crew capabilities listed include total plant and facility dismantlement, decommissioning, demolition, plant relocations and re-installations as well as heavy equipment rigging and machinery moving, millwright services and onsite concrete crushing. This line of work “keeps us busier than some because certain rigging and demolition companies don’t like to get into units like this inside of live plants,” said Simoes. Asked whether the company would be contracted to install the new plant in place of the old, he said they will definitely bid on the job, although it was delayed. Originally, the new plant “was supposed to be on our heels,” said Simoes. MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com

Positioned near the top of Grove’s AT product line, the GMK6350L represents a fresh take on the Manitowoc, Wis., manufacturer’s current six-axle crane offering. “After updating the smaller all-terrain cranes in our product line over the past several years, we began looking at the Grove six-axle crane,” says Andreas Cremer, all-terrain crane product manager for Manitowoc. “The GMK6350L will be the first of two With an eye toward refreshing its larger AT cranes, Manitowoc’s new 350-ton Grove new six-axle cranes we will introduce to the market GMK6450L is the first of two new six-axle cranes the manufacturer plans to introin the near future.” duce.

Morrow Expands Training Center Morrow Equipment’s Training Center in Salem, Ore., has been expanded to nearly 10,000 square feet, including new classrooms, component labs, a multipurpose conference room, office space, and a reception area. A large outdoor concrete pad designated for testing and safety programs has been installed, and several new or enhanced training programs have been added to the curriculum. Classrooms and labs are equipped with real tower crane and construction hoist drive and control systems. These training aids, including electrical panels, drive motors and transmissions, enable staff to demonstrate the level of performance, ease of maintenance, and built-in safety features found in modern all-electric tower cranes and construction hoists. Courses include but are not limited to Tower Crane Operator I and II; NCCCO Tower Crane Operator Certification; Tower Crane Service I and II; and Tower Crane Technician, Management, and Safety and Inspection. New courses include NCCCO Rigger Certification Exams, and Signal Person Certification Exams; and exam preparation courses for riggers and signal persons; as well as Construction Hoist Service and Safety and Inspection; and Safety Training Programs (OSHA 10- and 30-Hour).

NCCER Releases Tower Crane Operator Material The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), Gainesville, Fla., will release the Contren® Learning Series Tower Crane Operator curriculum this year.

Topics include principles of tower cranes, safety, rigging, load charts, and tower crane operations. Additional features include a list of key trade terms, module trade term quizzes, and a color insert. Students successfully completing Tower Crane Operator through an NCCER-accredited training sponsor will earn industry-recognized credentials through NCCER’s National Registry. NCCER also announced a partnership 102 CRANE HOT LINE

LESSONS LEARNED SAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO. MARCH 2010 – The president of Millennium Crane Rental and a crane operator were charged with criminal negligence that caused the death of a worker in April 2009. Legal proceedings have started against the company, marking the first time in Ontario charges have been pressed against a corporation since a 2004 amendment allows criminal prosecutions of corporate executives, directors and managers who act wrongfully or neglect to uphold their responsibility to keep workplaces healthy and safe. The city worker killed in 2009 was one of two installing a sewer pipe at a landfill. An 80-ton all-terrain crane that was loading concrete into the hole tipped in while it was being repositioned, and pinned the worker. Millennium Crane Rental also faces five charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, including failing to ensure the crane operator was properly licensed. – The Sault Star MURFREESBORO, TENN. MARCH 2010 – A 49-year-old truck driver who was picking up a load of solid steel coils more than 5,000 pounds each was killed at a steel plant. According to police, a crane operator was trying to navigate the load onto the truck when one of the steel coils fell on the truck driver and crushed him. – Tennessean.com CHANDLER, ARIZ. MARCH 2010 – A construction crane being used to remove three large trees from the yard of a home turned over on a residential street. News reports said the crane’s 100-foot boom snapped, causing the crane to tip over. The crane operator received minor injuries, but no serious injuries were reported. – ABC15.com
