IN FOCUS / UNIVERSAL CRANES
SHIP TO SHORE CONTAINER CRANE ASSEMBLY Universal Cranes provided equipment transportation, manned crane hire, and lift engineering for the assembly of two Ship to Shore Container Cranes. IN EARLY 2021 UNIVERSAL CRANES completed a project for client Wm. O’Brien and Liebherr Container Cranes. The Project involved Ship to Shore Crane Assembly at Port of Brisbane and Port of Townsville. The scope of the Project included: • Transport equipment • Manned crane hire + riggers
• •
Supply of miscellaneous equipment (temp rails etc). Lift Supervisor on site for duration of project
OVERVIEW: The Ship to Shore (STS) container crane assembly was completed in early 2021. Components were shipped from
Liebherr Container Cranes factory in Ireland for assembly on site. Universal Cranes received the components under hook and transported them to the designated area behind the operational wharf for assembly. The assembly sequence required a number of dual lifts at a height of 50-75m from ground level. Due to the complexity, several of
Universal Cranes provided equipment transportation, manned crane hire, and lift engineering for the Ship to Shore Crane Assembly.
