SANY HEAVY LIFTERS FOR TUTT BRYANT
Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift (TBHLS) recently took delivery of the first of two 800t capacity lattice boom crawler cranes, the Sany SCC8000A. MALCOM SMITH, GENERAL MANAGER, TBHLS explains the reasons for the purchases and where they will be operating. “There are a number of reasons for the purchases, with fleet renewal high on the list. We are looking to dispose of our 600 tonne Capacity Demag CC2800-1 which has served us well on the east coast of Australia. We are also looking to step up in capacity as the jobs and projects are getting that bit larger in size. So, we will be replacing the 600t Demag with the 2nd of the 800t Sany which arrives in February into Brisbane. “We will also be sending one of our Manitowoc MLC650 back to the 70 / CAL March/April 2022
east coast. We’ve had this crane in WA for a few years, and it will soon be operating on a Melbourne project from September 2022. The new 800t Sany in Western Australia will therefore bolster our large crane offering in the west. We used to have a 550t Kobelco which we moved between projects in both the east and west. This unit was sold last year and we didn’t replace it at the time. The new SCC8000As will upgrade our capabilities and replace gear we’ve sold more recently,” he said. Smith goes on to discuss the new technology featured in the new Sanys. “The Sany cranes, like most of today’s cranes, with their superlifts, all feature some form of vario or extender
frame which enables you to adjust the counterweight in and out and up and down. The Sany SCC8000A that came into Western Australia has 99 meters of main boom (non superlift) along with 111 meters of main boom and full superlift – with extender frame and split counterweight tray,” he said. The SCC8000A arriving in Queensland will have 99 meters of main boom (non superlift), 111 meters of regular main boom with superlift, 123 meters of mixed main boom with superlift, 147 meters of mixed main boom and full superlift. The crane also comes with 165 meters of power boom which includes 3.5 metre sections which are fitted into the boom and it features www.cranesandlifting.com.au
