COMMENT
ebruary is the time of year when many companies announce
their financial results for the previous full calendar year of
trading. At the time of writing in late January, Manitowoc had
just released its figures announcing that 2008 overall was a record
year, despite the fourth quarter being down on the same period the
previous year. A fall in sales around 20% is forecast for 2009.
The world’s largest knuckle boom crane manufacturer, Palfinger,
reported that the latter half of 2008 had been a difficult period
but remained positive about the future. “We have reason to be
satisfied. Our strong market position and the flexible structures
that we established in previous years have supported us in this
environment.”
Palfinger is one of several manufacturers that announced job
cuts. Others are Cargotec (Hiab), Terex and Manitowoc. The word
from Liebherr in mid-January was that there would be no layoffs in
the foreseeable future. It is, however, a far from rosy outlook for the
industry as a whole.
Looking at the wider economy, for example, in the UK, more
than 7,000 jobs were lost in the first few days of the last week of
January. All were attributed to the economic recession. One of the
least affected areas so far is the Middle East where, while some
projects are on hold or have been postponed, many are continuing
or still starting up. For more on the Middle East see the feature
starting on page 25.
Also in the Middle East is Marr Contractors’ Favelle Favco
M2480D, claimed to be the world’s largest luffing jib tower crane.
It is a spectacular achievement and one that promises advantages
in terms of, among others, space saved on site and the possibility of
being able to do more pre-assembly on the ground prior to lifting
larger loads into place.
Despite the general gloom, it is not all bad in the crane industry.
In a piece of stop press news, IC has learned that confidence in the
big Favco’s utility is such that Marr has just ordered a second unit.
For more on this crane see the feature on page 31.

Record year for Manitowoc
For the full year 2008 the
Manitowoc Company, Inc.
reported sales of US$4.50
billion, a 22% increase from
$3.68 billion in 2007. Net
earnings for 2008 were $174.0
million against $336.7 million
in the previous year.
In the crane segment,
full year 2008 sales were
$3.88 billion, while fourthquarter 2008 net sales were
$943.6 million, virtually the
same as the $945.5 million
in the previous year. Crane
segment operating earnings
for the fourth quarter of 2008
decreased to $114.9 million
from $141.7 million in the
same period 2007. Crane
segment backlog at
31 December 2008 was
$1.9 billion, a decrease of
34% from the $2.9 billion
12 months earlier.
“This has been a
transformational year for
Manitowoc,” said Glen Tellock,
president and chief executive
officer. “We are successfully
executing our long-term
strategy of building market
leadership positions in our
two core markets: cranes
and commercial foodservice
equipment. In addition, we
have divested our Marine
segment and are now focusing
all resources and management
efforts on expanding our
competitive position within
our two remaining segments.
“Like most companies, we
are feeling the impact of the
global economic slowdown. We
have taken appropriate actions
and we will make additional
changes to our businesses as
market dynamics continue
to unfold in 2009. We intend
to build on our leadership
positions during this slowdown
and emerge as an even stronger
competitor.”
“We are experiencing
a weakening demand in
the crane segment, and we
estimate a decline in crane
sales of approximately 20% in
2009,” said Tellock. “Although

demand for lighter lift
capacity cranes has softened
globally, demand for higher
capacity cranes in the US
and Asia remains relatively
stable. However, demand in
Europe and the Middle East
has weakened considerably
compared to the peak we
experienced in the first
half of 2008.”
■ Manitowoc will launch
the Grove GSK 55, a
new type of trailer
mounted mobile
telescopic crane. It
has the upper works

It will be on 18 April 2009 in the flower auction room at Bemmel,

as last year. It opens at 10.00 a.m. and entry costs €8. For more

“I appreciated the important
opportunity to talk to the
locals and the interstate
guests about the benefits of
state and national industry
associations – and the good
work of CICA’s activities across
Australia. A lot of hard work
is undertaken by association
volunteer committees on behalf
of members and the broader
industry and, along with many
others, I am passionate and
positive about this industry
and the future,” said Gillespie.
NTCA vice president
Cheryl Woodhart, from
Hiab, was handed a plaque to
commemorate the launch.
“This is a significant step
forward for the Northern
Territory operators and
one that has been in the
development pipeline for some
time thanks to key industry
leaders. There is some hard
work ahead, especially to get
the local industry to really
step up, understand and get
behind the new association
but, strategically, having the
NTCA can only be good for the
industry. And, of course, CICA
is keen to lend a guiding hand
as the association grows,” added
Alan Marshall.

MacGregor will deliver the
world’s first subsea knuckle jib
crane fitted with a system to
handle synthetic fibre lifting
rope.
The 250 tonne capacity
Hydramarine active heavecompensated (AHC) offshore
crane is designed with a
3,000 m single-line winch and
is prepared for a 250 tonne
fibre rope. It will be installed
on the subsea vessel Havila
Phoenix.
“MacGregor’s technology
for handling lightweight
fibre rope rather than
traditional steel wire rope
offers several advantages that
will meet the ever-increasing
demands of the offshore
industry as operators move
further into deeper and
more remote territories,”
said Øystein Bondevik, sales
director MacGregor Offshore.
“For example, due to the
neutralisation of the weight
of the fibre rope in the water,
much heavier loads can be
handled without strain to the
crane at unlimited depths.
Consequently, overall safety
is improved due to the
lighter equipment, which can
still carry out heavy work
operations,” Bondevik added.
As world demand for energy
increases, while the resources
of oil-producing countries
are depleting, the offshore
industry has been forced to
unlock access to untapped
sources, explained Bondevik.
This has resulted in the
rapid development of subsea

the company.

Miracle on the Hudson
US Airways Flight 1549
pictured being lowered onto
a barge after it was recovered
from the Hudson River in New
York on 17 January 2009.
The plane took off from
LaGuardia International
Airport on 15 January, bound
for Charlotte, North Carolina,
when it is thought to have hit
a flock of birds, causing both
engines to fail. The pilot made
an emergency landing in the
nearby Hudson River, rather
than risking a return journey to
LaGuardia over a built up area.
Crews from Weeks Marine
worked all day and into the
night on 17 January to rig and
lift the aircraft from the river.
A 52 Clyde heavy lift crane
secured to a barge hoisted the
submerged plane out of the
icy waters and placed it onto
another barge for transport.
The 52 Clyde is a 750 US ton
(680 tonne) capacity floating
crane, which, according
to Weeks Heavy Lift vice
president Tom Weeks, is the
largest rotating crane on a
barge on the US East Coast.
The assist crane was a 37
Davo, a 115 ton (104 tonne)
former military machine. It
was used as a service crane
and would have been deployed
on the main job if the rigging
slipped during the initial lift.
“If for some reason the plane
dipped we could have used
that crane to equalize it,” said
Weeks. “But that didn’t happen.
We were able to correct the
rigging with a whip line on the
large crane.”
The toughest part of the job,
Weeks said, was accomplished
by the six man hard hat dive
crew, which had to attach
the rigging in the icy river.

flat top tower crane from Linden
Comansa.
Cemex is renting the crane from
the Spanish manufacturer’s
Latvia dealer, Valiants SIA. It
is being used to help erect the
plant’s cooling tower.
As standard the LC 8952 has
a freestanding height of 89.8 m
and an 80 m jib. This model,
however, has been erected with
an under hook height of 120 m,
and a working radius of 40 m.
Maximum load is 24 tonnes
and it is 22 tonnes at the end
of the jib.
The LC 8952 is Linden
Comansa’s largest crane and the only model that the manufacturer still
produces from the popular 8000 series, which has been replaced by
the LC 2100 range.

“The divers had a really tough
time with no footing and no
leverage. The conditions were
terrible.”
The rigging included
multiple baskets under each
wing that were attached to
spreaders for the fuselage and
two separate slings for the
front and rear areas of the
plane. After the initial pick,
the plane was suspended as the
water drained out. Airbus and
Weeks’ engineers planned the
lift together. Airbus engineers
provided information about
the plane’s centre of gravity and
the strongest sections of the
fuselage.
The plane was transported
to an undisclosed location for
inspection by the National
Transportation Safety Bureau.

Palfinger reacts to year end figures
Preliminary results for 2008
showed a 14% increase in
revenue for Palfinger, due to a
strong beginning to 2008 and
three acquisitions. A 31% drop
in earnings, however, reflected
the weakening market and
the accounting rules which
apply to acquisitions, such as
depreciation and impairment.
While the development
of major crane markets, for
example, Germany and France
was relatively stable until
the fourth quarter 2008, the
markets in Spain, Great Britain,
and Italy almost came to a
complete standstill in the course
of the financial year, according
to the company.
In the fourth quarter the
group was forced to take
measures in readiness for the
months to come. After laying
off its temporary workers, it
announced a reduction of its
core workforce in November
and, in January, introduced
short-time working hours for
a three month period in its
Austrian sites.
Herbert Ortner, Palfinger
CEO, said, “2008 was not an
easy year for Palfinger but,
despite all the difficulties, we
have reason to be satisfied.
Our strong market position
and the flexible structures that
we established in previous
years have supported us in this
environment. They constitute
enormous competitive
advantages, especially in
difficult times and, therefore,
the consolidation in our
industry also opens up new
opportunities. We achieved
further growth in revenue, and
our flexibility allowed us partly
to absorb the drop in orders
in 2008.”
In its preliminary 2008
results report Palfinger said,
“The development of the overall
economy will continue to have
a significant influence on the
group’s business performance
in 2009. At present Palfinger
is feeling the consumers’
reluctance to make investments
but government aid and
economic support programmes
are expected to reinvigorate
infrastructure investments.”
RIVER PORTS BUY GOTTWALD
Two river ports in Latin America have bought Gottwald mobile harbour
cranes to take advantage of untapped cargo handling opportunities.
Integra Marine & Freight Services (IMFS) ordered a 100 tonne
capacity HMK 260 E for operations at the port of Paramaribo,
Suriname. Puerto Fenix, Puertos & Estibajes will take delivery of a
63 tonne HMK 170 E, destined for the port of Asunción, Paraguay.
“Cargo handling potential has been largely untapped in the river
ports of these two countries and Gottwald’s mobile harbour cranes
are aimed at addressing this,” said Andreas Moeller, Gottwald deputy
sales director.
Self erector triumphs
To lower site operating costs a
developer in Scotland is using
a self-erecting tower crane to
increase operational efficiencies
while reducing manpower costs.
Specialising in the
construction of affordable
private housing developments,
Discovery Homes (Scotland)
Ltd is building a three storey
block of 44 two-bedroom
apartments in Dundee. The
VC42 self-erector is from
Vanson Cranes’ VC range
developed by Trevor Vanson,
10
INTERNATIONAL
managing director, to address
specific requirements of the UK
construction industry.
As with most urban
development projects there is
often an issue with site access.
Discovery Homes recognised
the value of using a compact
and manoeuvrable pedestrian
operated tower crane to
improve material handling
efficiency.
“Having the availability
of the VC42 enables us to
build when we want to,
rather than having to wait
for a crane to arrive on site.
Also, instead of undertaking
the labour-intensive process
of manhandling materials
such as blocks, windows
and plasterboard, we have
instead used the VC42 to
offload materials from the
forklift truck and then lift
them straight to the required
area of the site. One crane
operator is now able to do
the job that was previously
done by 10 labourers. The
crane also saves time, as we
now use the VC42 to crane a
whole pallet of plasterboard
onto the site instead of getting
three or four labourers to carry
individual sheets,” a Discovery
spokesman said.
Using the VC42 has also
reduced the amount of damage
to delicate materials, for
example, sheets of plasterboard
and some 2.7 m wide doors.
The VC42 is designed to
be simple and user friendly,
allowing it to be erected in
a small working envelope
to reduce erection and
dismantling costs compared
with conventional tower cranes
of a similar size, Vanson said.
It is self-contained and has its
own ballast handling derrick so
there is no need for third party
lifting equipment. The crane
can be taken down and erected
in a different position on the
site in five hours.

Bad start
aving hit rock bottom
in November, there
were signs towards
the end of last year that crane
manufacturers’ shares might
stage a recovery, or at least hold
their ground.
January, however, saw the
sector suffer a five-week losing
streak where the IC Share
index fell 21.65% to 183.48
points. This is only just above
the low of 175.02 points that it
struck last autumn.
Mainstream indicators also
lost ground over the first few
weeks of the year, and although
their falls were steep, they were
not on a par with the losses
in the lifting sector. Even the
Nikkei 225, which is being
hammered by poor results
from Japan’s export-orientated
conglomerates and a currency
that continues to appreciate,
was only down 11.6% in the
same five-week period.
Losses for the FTSE 100
and Dow meanwhile, were
8.72% and 9.80%, respectively
– less than half the fall for the
crane sector.
The problem has

A weakening economic
outlook in Europe saw the
Dollar gain against the British
Pound and particularly the
Euro in January. At the other
end of the spectrum, it lost
another 1.40% against the Yen.
This has been the trend for
more than a year now. In the
last 12 months the Dollar has
put on a massive 37% against
the Pound and 13% against the
Euro, but at the same time has
lost more than 15% of its value
to the Yen.
While European exporters
will welcome a reversal of the
long slide in the Dollar that
was seen from 2004 to early
2008, Japanese manufacturers
have a problem on their hands.

After years of a stable but

his year’s main event for construction
equipment manufacturers will be the
Intermat exhibition. It runs from
20 to 25 April in Paris, France. In these
uncertain economic times the show will
have a lower profile than when it was last
held, in 2006, but it will nevertheless be a
major event.
The 2006 show saw more than 1,400
companies take exhibition space, 75% of
them from 42 countries outside France.
Visitors numbered 210,000, 45% of
them from outside France and from 160
countries.
Even though those benchmarks are
unlikely to be beaten, show organisers are
still expecting more than 1,300 exhibiting
companies. Visitor numbers are anyone’s
guess, but should still be above those at
any other construction equipment show
anywhere worldwide in 2009.
Although the number of exhibitors
taking part will still be high this
year, there will also be some
notable absentees.

Putting aside exhibitor absences, who will
be at the show and what new products will
they be launching?
A new type of trailer mounted mobile
telescopic crane will be presented by
Manitowoc. The Grove GSK 55 is the upper
works from a 55 tonne capacity Grove
GMK3055 all terrain mounted on a road
trailer hauled by a standard commercial
tractor unit. It is described by the
manufacturer as combining the lift ability of
Grove all terrain cranes with the flexibility
and mobility of a standard on-road truck.
Michael Preikschas, Manitowoc senior
product manager, said it offers advantages
in lifting and transport, “The GSK is a more
affordable option for our customers that
want Grove all terrain performance from
their cranes but do not necessarily need the
off-road ability that the GMK range offers.”
Like the Grove GMK3055 the GSK55
has a 43 m boom and optional 8.7/15 m
swingaway jib giving a maximum tip height
of 60 m.
New in Manitowoc’s Potain tower crane
range is the largest model
in the MDT series. Two
versions are available

of the MDT 368. The MDT 368 L12 has
12 tonne capacity and the MDT 368 L16 is
16 tonnes.
Maximum jib length on both versions is
75 m and hook height can be up to 93.7 m.
Both versions can either have the 55 kW 75
LVF 30 Optima or the 75 kW 100 LVF 30
Optima winch. On the MDT 368 L16 there
is also a new trolley, the 6 DVF 6, which
can reach speeds of 100 m/min with a
4 tonne load.
A new feature is the counter jib section
that can be folded for transport. The
21.7 m counter jib is too long for transport
on a standard truck so there is a hinge.
From Liebherr visitors can see the new
350 tonne capacity LTM 1350-6.1 all terrain
crane. The new six-axle mobile crane will
be shown at the Intermat construction
equipment exhibition in Paris, France
from 20 to 25 April. Its 70 m telescopic

INNOVATION AWARDS
Intermat has announced the winners of its innovation awards. There were eight awards in three
categories. A crane-related winner was in the Equipment and Components category where one
of two silver awards (no gold award in this category) went to French company Made for its Sky
Radio 2.0 system. It is a safety system to detect high voltage overhead power lines to help prevent
crane booms and other high reach equipment from getting too close to them.
boom is 10 m longer than its LTM 1300-6.1
predecessor. Maximum hoisting height,
with the 78 m luffing fly jib, is 132 m,
16 m higher than its predecessor. Liebherr
claims it is the strongest six axle crane on
the market.
A typical target application is tower
crane erection, largely due to high capacity
at long boom extension. Additional capacity
is available from a Y-suspension system,
which doubles capacity “in many areas,”
according to Liebherr, which also claims it
can do work of seven- or eight-axle models.
Also new f rom Liebherr is the
MK 88 mobile folding construction crane.
It succeeds the MK 80, of which almost 150
were sold, according to the manufacturer.
The new MK 88 “sets new size,
equipment and performance standards
in the four-axle category,” Liebherr said.
It has the same transport dimensions
as its predecessor but it has a larger
superstructure. It means that maximum
hook height in the 45 degree jib position is
increased to more than 57 m and maximum
working radius increases to more than
44 m.
The two-section telescopic lattice tower
is a new design giving the three section
44 m jib two standard hook heights of
17.5 m and 30 m. Versatility is enhanced
by the availability of three steep-angle jib
settings of 15, 30 and 45 degrees.

SPECIALIZED TRANSPORT
Low ride advantage
The new Hydrospex self propelled modular trailer
(SPMT) system offers advantages over competitors,
according to its manufacturer. Tjerko Jurgens,
Hydrospex managing director, demonstrated the
new high capacity system to ALEX DAHM
ydrospex in the Netherlands has
further expanded its hydraulic
heavy equipment range with the
announcement of a new self propelled
modular trailer (SPMT).
Aside from two major differences,
the Hydrospex HSPMT750 has similar
functionality to other SPMT systems on
the market. Setting it apart, however, are
a couple of major differences, according
to its creator, Tjerko Jurgens, Hydrospex
managing director. These are its slim
design and its lower access height, which
make it more user-friendly and it offers
better accessibility in confined spaces,
Jurgens says.
Entering the SPMT market is a big step
for Hydrospex, says Jurgens. “We are going
to enter a market that is quite new for us.
It is a captive market controlled by three
major players and Chinese manufacturers

are waiting at the border with alternatives.”
The Hydrospex SPMT is a three axle
modular system available in two versions:
HSPMT750, with all axles driven; and
the un-propelled HMT750. Both can be
combined into a six axle trailer using one
power pack. The combined trailer offers a
150 tonne payload.
More payload is available. The standard
control system can operate up to six
modules (18 lines) with, adjacent, another
six modules, creating a transport platform
about 20 x 5 m. Payload capability is then
900 metric tonnes.
Gross capacity is 25 tonnes per line.
If you build the trailers together – a six
liner – it will be 6 m long. Capacity would
be about 120 tonnes. But if you take a
120 tonne object it is always longer than
6 m so you always have enough capacity,
Jurgens explains.

Unlike some, the Hydrospex SPMT is
incompatible with systems from other
manufacturers. “The reason for the
different manufacturers making SPMTs
that could work together was that 10 years
ago Mammoet and Sarens, for example,
each had a number of lines of SPMT and
they would get together to do big jobs
because their systems were compatible.

need each other so much any more.”
What Jurgens found his potential
customers wanted was different from that
offered by an SPMT design that would
be interchangeable with others. Existing
SPMTs have features that are not used
enough, Jurgens says, “Are there any
features – to get a better price – that we
don’t need?” Rough terrain capability is
one. “My clients are ones that always drive
indoors or always on good paved roads,”
Jurgens explains. The new SPMT is more
for moving things around a plant than for
carrying large and heavy loads by road.
The potential customers “told me that
the price is more important than the high
axle load, than the road running capacity
or driving at 15 mph – these are things
they don’t need.” It makes the design both
easier and more complicated. “First of all,
to build a trailer that is only half the height
of an existing SPMT requires more than a
little bit of engineering.”
Functionality
In its lowest position the 650 mm deck
height is lower than any other self propelled
trailer on the market today, Jurgens claims.
Deck height fully raised is 1,000 mm. A
deck height of 1.2 m is typical for existing
SPMTs, Jurgens says.
“Standard SPMT tyres are 835 mm
diameter so there is the first conflict –
The radio remote control unit for the
Hydrospex SPMT
they are never going to do it. So we
had to find a tyre that is about 450 mm
diameter. We have managed to develop
it with a fork truck tyre. It is a solid tyre
and to create suspension for differences in
terrain, we have used a cradle design with
an accumulator. We developed everything
ourselves.”
The Hydrospex SPMT is designed to fit
in standard sea containers. Its weight is low
enough (6 tonnes) to allow four modules
(12 lines) to be stacked in a 20 foot
container. Its overall width of 2,300 mm
is designed for optimum manoeuvrability,
Jurgens says.
On the control side, the trailers are
operated by the Intellidrive wireless control
system that uses the same technology
as the Intellilift system that Hydrospex
developed for telescopic hydraulic
gantries. One person can operate the
Hydrospex SPMT and there is no difficultto-configure software; just connect, select
and drive, Jurgens says.
“We did a lot of engineering in the
control system. You can switch it on and
go. They have electronics that detect
what the configuration is. You plug in the
cables and it works out how many lines are
connected, and where, and you just have a
joystick like a Nintendo and you can drive
with it. Driving a fork lift truck is more
complicated than driving my SPMT.”
The HSPMT requires a diesel power
pack. Two types are available: 33 kW with
a capacity of three trailers; and 7.5 kW,
Deck height of the new SPMT is 650 mm at its
lowest and 1,000 mm at its highest. Offloading
from a flat rack or similar needs this lower deck
height, Jurgens says
also for up to three trailers but just used
for towing. The Hydrospex power pack is
600 mm tall and, depending on the trailer
configuration, up to four power packs can
be connected together.
The power packs fit on the front or rear
side of a unit. To avoid collision with curbs
or other obstructions the power pack can
be tilted up to 10 degrees. A feature of the
modular design is to allow easy linking of
the power pack’s hydraulic hoses.
Delivering the goods
“We hope that on the first of April [2009]
we can start the mass production of these
trailers. Our building should be ready for
the manufacturing. We have purchased
the manufacturing machinery necessary
to build it – the robotic welding machines,
the CNC lathes, etc. Our objective is to
produce one trailer a week and our forecast
for 2009 is that we are going to supply
something like 150 lines. We would be very
happy if we can sell this number of lines.”
The SPMT will be built in three-line
units and the only option will be the
colour. “It will be completely standard
and very cheap. We are going to offer it
at between 50 and 60% of the competition
price. It is low but there are also things it
cannot do. But, to get you started, for a six
liner with power pack I can help you for
about 250,000 Euros,” Jurgens explains.
“Our expectation is that the minimum
configuration is six lines, so that means
I need to find 20 customers in that area.
My customer is going to be the crane or
transport company that employs 25 to 40
people, has already got hydraulic gantries,
plus a small crane, perhaps, and doesn’t
want to call a big renter to rent a trailer
from them. I am not looking for people
who will order 300 lines.”

MIDDLE EAST
UAE-based rental company Al Faris uses its
1,200 tonne capacity Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 for
the first time, to offload a 200 tonne Liebherr
LTM 1200 all terrain in Dubai. The load was
105 tonnes at a radius of 25 m
The Middle East is still
a hive of activity but the

region is starting to feel
the affects of the global
economic slump. EUAN
YOUDALE reports
or some time, crane operators in
the Middle East have been viewing
the credit crisis and its ramifications
around the world and wondering when it
would hit them. The answer has come in
the last couple of months, with a number
of cancelled and postponed projects.
In December, Dubai-based property
developer Nakheel suspended work on its
Trump Tower project. The AED 2.9 billion
(US$ 790 million), 62 storey, 270 m tall
structure is intended as the centrepiece
of the company’s Palm Jumeirah artificial
island scheme off the coast of Dubai.
On the other hand, in the same
month, Nakheel also unveiled plans for
a new off-shore development called The
Universe. The project will be close to its
Palm Jumeirah development and inshore
from its 500 island World project. The
scheme reflects the general view that the
construction fever will pick up again.

House of Equipment carries out work at the
Meydan Project in Dubai. Meydan City will be
a mixed use development based around the
Meydan Racecourse, claimed to be the largest
in the world. Completion is due in 2010. In the
foreground is a Yongmao STT553A tower crane
Holding on
Crane rental company House of
Equipment has taken some advantage from
the credit crisis. “There is increasingly
a non-availability of cash and financing
to encourage contractors to buy,” says
Waiel Manfalouti, House of Equipment
general manager.
This is combined with the fact that
lifting work is becoming more common
due to the increase in pre-cast construction,
which saves time on the project site.
The company is predominantly active in
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi where,
Manfalouti says, the availability of cash is
reasonable.
In the last 12 months the company
has bought 18 rough terrain, all terrain
and crawler cranes from Locatelli and
Manitowoc, with lifting capacities from
45 to 250 tonnes. This amounts to a
70% increase, in monetary terms, on the
previous year.
Slowdown
House of Equipment has also invested in 40
tower cranes for rental and another 200 in
its trading wing. The future, however, looks
less certain. “The slowdown has started
and it may continue for up to 24 months.
High rise applications will be affected,
while horizontal [housing] is less affected
and infrastructure projects will be least
affected,” Manfalouti comments.
As a result the company says it will
invest in infrastructure related equipment.
The most popular mobile cranes of
INTERNATIONAL
25
MIDDLE EAST
choice in the UAE are still 100 and 70
tonne capacity machines, according to
Brian Green, heavy crane manager at Al
Faris Equipment Rentals. They are used
across the board in construction and in oil
and gas.
Rental rates, however, have dropped
about 10% over the last few months, says
Green. “At the moment we are okay and
are on long-term projects but it might be
the middle to end of this year that things
will get difficult.” This, adds Green, is most
apparent in the construction market. Oil
and gas projects, on the other hand, are not
being cancelled but, in some cases, they are
being postponed.

NEW SAFETY RULES
One thing that will make a difference
in the region is a new set of operating
requirements from the Federal Government,
which are likely to be introduced in the third
quarter of 2009.
According to Manfalouti, at House of
Equipment, the new rules will include the
following:
1. Projection of the crane jib over public
areas may become forbidden
2. Remote monitoring system on all tower
cranes may become compulsory
3. Anti-collision system may become
compulsory
4. Safe working loads on equipment, as
well as lifting accessories, may follow a
national standard
5. Introduction of a compulsory logbook
charting major breakdowns, accidents
and equipment testing
6. Limiting the use of equipment beyond a
specified age
As this list suggests, the requirements
are yet to be finalised, but it will provide
a valuable framework under which lifting
companies must operate. And as Manfalouti
adds the benefits are being recognised in
the industry. “There is an extra cost that can
be saved in the long run by minimising the
chances of accidents.”

According to Green, the downturn in
the Middle East “came out of the blue. We
knew it would come but it came so quickly,
that was the big shock; everyone was a
bit taken aback. But I think it will pick up
again, especially in Dubai.”
In talks
In 2008 Al Faris ordered 34 cranes, ranging
from 55 to 250 tonnes capacity, all terrains,
rough terrains and crawlers. All terrains
and crawlers are from Liebherr, while the
rough terrains are from Tadano. As a result
of the credit crisis, Green says Al Farris is
now in talks with the two manufacturers
about orders planned for 2010. “We had 34
cranes this year I cannot see it happening
in 2009 to 2010.”
Green envisages that manufacturers
could be forced to cut their prices. “This
[credit crisis] could be a good thing; we
may be in position to start negotiating in
the middle of this year.”
Green also makes the point that a
slowdown may give those involved with
fast-turnaround projects time to breathe,
allowing a greater degree of planning
and thought.
Of course, the downside to the slide for
rental companies is a drop in utilisation
rates. “All the cranes used to be out, now
we see one or two cranes in the yard,” says
Green. Although, he adds that a majority
of the fleet is out on long-term rental, with
only 30 to 40 machines being used as taxi
cranes. There is also little room for crane
rental companies to diversify in the region,
says Green. “We have oil and gas and
construction and we have aluminium, so
you can’t diversify here as you may be able
to do in Europe.”
Green adds, “If we get through this year
and into next year things will start coming
back and people will have money in their
pockets to rent cranes again.”
Investment
Eric van Sabben, business development
manager at alternative lifting and
specialized transport company T TS
International, says it has enjoyed a lucrative
2008 and, like many others, is expecting
a good first half this year. TTS has
invested in a range of jacking and skidding
equipment designed in-house and built at
the Dubai-based workshop. One of them
is a 12,000 tonne capacity skidding system
under construction. It will be first used
for the load-out of a topside module in the
second quarter of 2009.
Van Sabben says a large majority of the
projects commissioned last year are still
underway or have been confirmed. The
problem potentially starts in the second
half of 2009, when those projects have been
completed.
Due to TTS’s involvement at the end of
the oil and gas module construction phase,
at which point it performs the load-out and
transport, a downturn in business will be
delayed until that is complete, which could
even be the first half of 2010. “We hope we
can sustain the business that we have at
MIDDLE EAST
the moment but I don’t think we will have
much chance of increasing that in 2009,”
van Sabben adds.
Oman potential
T T S s pl it s it s a c t iv it i e s b e t we e n
infrastructure, civil and oil and gas. As far
as infrastructure is concerned, van Sabben
explains that the shortage in some areas,
including Abu Dhabi and its road network,
means there is still significant government
investment.
One major project on which TTS will
be employed for the next 18 months is
the Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone,
which will incorporate a jetty supported
by 60 tonne concrete beams. They will be
transported from the casting yard by TTS.
TTS is also moving into less welltrodden countries, including Afghanistan
where it is helping to construct a power
station. TTS is transporting 84 tonne
US-built engines that have been shipped
from Germany to Sharjah, UAE, and
airlifted to Kabul. The work involves
skidding the engines out of the aircraft and
transporting them.
Oman has been targeted by TTS, where
the company is starting a joint venture.
The benefits for TTS will come thanks
to the country’s aggressive development
of its gas industry, according to van
Sabben, and its close proximity to Dubai.
The plan is to take the advantage early
and become a recognised service provider.
“New developments are growing fast. It is
not a big country but there are not many
companies active there. At the moment
there is not the heavy equipment there,
so it is coming from other places.” Van
Sabben continues, “Oman is being hit by
the same economic situation so we cannot
say those projects that have been started
will complete but, irrespective of that, there
is still a good market in Oman and we want
to be part of that. In a few years, when
others arrive, we want to be established,”
adds van Sabben.
Iran is providing a limited amount of
work and TTS is supplying barges for a
pipe-laying project in the country, a job set
to continue into mid-February 2009. But it
is not easy doing business there, says van
Sabben and the country already has four
or five established heavy lift companies
carrying out a majority of that work.
Having said that, equipment for 1,000
tonne and heavier lifts has to come from
outside the country. “Even to set up a bank
account is a painstaking process, so we
work there but not that often. While we
can find business elsewhere, we will do
that,” adds van Sabben.
Reduced sales
Manufacturers are, of course, also being hit
by ripples caused by the sudden downturn
in the region. Wolfgang Beringer at
Liebherr says that over the last three to
five years sales of three to five axle cranes
have “exploded” in the region, with larger
capacity cranes up to 500 tonnes also in
high demand. Rental giant Al Faris took
delivery of its biggest mobile crane – the
1,200 tonne capacity LTM 11200-9.1 – in
2008. “Also, the number of customers was
increasing as new ones came to the market.”
Of course times have changed rapidly and
the recently developing high capacity crane
market is now seeing a reduction in sales.
The same is true, of course for the
smaller models. In the UAE, Beringer says,
crane orders are being cancelled due to
delays and cancellations of projects. In
the neighbouring “oil and gas countries,”
including Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, there >
The prestigious Saudi Kayan project in Jubail
Industrial City kicked off with the delivery of two
1,147 tonne reactors to the plant, followed by a
38 m long, 1,595 tonne wash tower. Mammoet
transported the process equipment from King
Fahd Industrial Port to the site, a 17 km journey.
It later installed the reactors and the wash
tower using an MSG-80. The other items were

is also a slowdown as new oil refineries,
or extensions to existing ones, are put on
hold as a result of declining oil prices,
according to Beringer. The same is true
in Saudi Arabia, although the slowdown
is not as pronounced thanks to largescale infrastructure projects that are still
underway.
“A forecast is difficult,” adds Beringer.
“But, if the oil prices rise again, many
projects will come back up.”
Chinese manufacturer Zoomlion is
selling medium to high capacity tower
cranes into the gulf area, ranging from
the TC5013B to the TC 7030B, which
are finding work on infrastructure and
residential construction sites. The company
adds that the trend is towards higher
capacity tower cranes, “but mainly for
luffing jib cranes because they are more
convenient and easier to operate due to
more stable adjustments and bigger load
capacities, while, at the same time, they can
save space.”
In the future
Future applications will obviously depend
on the region’s economic situation and
policies, according to a
company spokesman,
but it will also be led by
technological innovations
from the tower crane
manufacturers. With
regard to infrastructure
the company believes it

Egyptian interdisciplinary construction
contractor, Petrojet, has purchased two
Manitowoc Model 999 crawler cranes. The
company is using them for work in the oil
and gas industries. They regularly lift loads
between 10 and 40 tonnes
will benefit from continued investment,
even with the backdrop of a global
recession, should one occur.
In residential construction there is a
notable drop off. “Some big real estate
companies have either cancelled or put off
their projects due to a shortage of funds.”
Crawler crane manufacturer Sany
says it is selling mostly 25 to 100 tonne
capacity cranes into
the Middle East with
the 25 and 50 tonne
models being the most
popular. According to
a Sany spokesman this
is unlikely to change
in the future. “There is
no request for higher
c ap a c i t y m a c h i n e s
at the moment. The
reason is unknown,
maybe because of the
financial crisis,” says the
company spokesperson.
“The economic
situation has great negative impact on
the sales of crane. The market demand
is collapsing sharply because of limited
demand. All the crane manufacturers are
confronting the same problem of demand
declining.”
Fellow Chinese crane manufacturer
Shenyang Sanyo (SYM) echoes the same
sentiments. While luffing jib tower
cranes have become more popular over
recent years and are expected to become
increasing popular in the future, the
number of construction projects is falling
away. “The inquiries and orders have been
declining since last November, in general.
Some projects are stopped and postponed
in this region,” says Chen Yu, company
spokesman.

PRODUCT NEWS: FAVCO M2480D
Favco’s giant
Marr Contractors has erected what it
claims is the world’s largest luffing jib

igger than Texas” is a
popular phrase used
around the world
to describe extraordinarily
large items. It has long been
a benchmark description to
help give true scale both to
projects and machines. What
then would be a suitable phrase
for the amount of work that
has been completed over the
last ten years and is still going
on in parts of the Middle East?
The sheer scale of work among
the members of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC)
could be confidently described
as “out of this world.”
When IC had the
opportunity late in 2008 to
inspect a Waste to Energy
plant being constructed by
Keppel Seghers, near Doha,
Qatar, it might not have been
a surprise to look up at the
largest luffing tower crane in
the world and to see The Men

heavy lift luffer built by
Favelle Favco has a 330 tonne
capacity at 14.5 m radius and
can free stand up to 80 m.
On a 4.3 metre-square tower
the M2480D needs a ground
area of 4 metres-square when
erected on starter legs, or
about the same area as two
family cars parked side by side.
The crane can also be set on a
grillage or mounted on rails.
Comparing M2480D load
charts against large mobile
cranes reveals many areas
where the big Favco out lifts
600 tonne capacity crawler
cranes. These large crawlers
can occupy 10 times more
ground area than the new
heavy duty tower crane.
With a 55 tonne winch and
maximum hook speed of
95 m/min, the M2480D is a
fast crane. It can operate safely
in wind speeds up to 20 m/sec.
That is more than twice the

construction is by leading
WTE technology company
Keppel Seghers. It will be the
first waste treatment facility in
the Middle East and represents
a forward thinking step from
the Qatari Government.
Integrated waste
management is designed
to maximise recovery of
resources and energy from
waste and to reduce the
volume of waste that goes to
landfill by sorting, composting
and recycling. In conjunction
with the electricity and
fertiliser produced through
the Kyoto ratified process,
recyclable materials, including
metal, plastic and glass are
recovered in the sorting phase
and sold on to recyclers,
generating another revenue
stream. Power generated by
the plant in excess of its own
requirements can be sold back
into the power grid.
The project is for the Qatar
Government and is being
constructed near Mesaieed,
adjoining the Al Wakrah
industrial zone on the outskirts
of Doha, where there is more
than $600 billion-worth of
construction work underway.
The facility will be capable of

THE MEN FROM MARR’S
Third generation company director Simon Marr, above, with brother
Gordon and father Gordon Senior, are the driving force behind
some of the most impressive crane projects in the Pacific region
and beyond. They operate tower cranes and large mobile cranes,
servicing any lifting project at home in Australia or abroad.
Part of Marr’s success can be attributed to taking care of
equipment and following a regime of preventive maintenance. “When
our cranes come off projects, they are stripped down and placed
through a comprehensive maintenance programme. Our climbing
tower cranes are often well beyond the reach of the largest of mobile
cranes for extended periods. It is good business for both our clients
and ourselves to know that our gear is continually in peak condition,”
explains Simon Marr.
The company was formed in 1926 to fulfil the need for mobile
cranes in the steel fabrication division of E. A. Marr and Sons. Over
the years Marr Contracting has endeavoured to keep its fleet up to
date with current industry requirements and standards. “Today we
offer what we believe to be the best selection of tower cranes in
Australia, from the tiny Favelle Favco M40R to our latest purchase,
the massive Favelle Favco M2480D, which was commissioned in

Marr Contracting has established Australia’s only heavy lift
tower crane division and, at the time of writing, was providing lifting
solutions in Australia and the Middle East. In a stop press news
announcement Simon Marr told IC that the company has just ordered
a second M2480D from Favelle Favco.

(WTE) project

for Doha International
Airport.
Keith Holden, Keppel
Seghers construction manager,
says he has been more than
impressed by the big Favco’s
capabilities. With a career
spanning more than 40 years
working around the world
on large scale projects, he
cites the minimal amount
of site space required and
precision in placing heavy
loads as the crane’s most
impressive features. “We can
place large elements with
millimetre precision. There
is no discernable movement
when the crane stops hoisting
through flex in the crane.
It allows our fitters the best
opportunities for precise
alignments,” Holden says.
Holden also comments on
the crane’s operating speed.
Loads up to 110 tonnes are
handled on the two-fall hook,
as opposed to, for example,
a large crawler crane, which
would be operating with
up to 10 parts of rope. “We
are not losing time waiting
for the hook to come back
down to our riggers. With
comparable winch speeds, the
Favco operating in two falls is
remarkably quick. And we can
pre-assemble at ground level.
Our water cooled grate units
weigh 74 tonnes and they went
in at 46 m radius,” Holden
continues.
Easier transport
The M2480D was transported
from Australia on a specially
chartered ship, giving Marr’s
complete control of the
operation. In comparison to
a large crawler crane, total
weight and size of components
allows for easy transporting.
The heaviest single component
is the front half of the split
machinery deck at 29.4 tonnes.
Erection took 10 days,
including the assembly of the
tower sections and a lot of lost
time due to high winds, dust
storms and extreme heat. A
250 tonne capacity Kobelco
crawler already on site was
used to erect the crane. Given
that the temperature was
around 55 degrees and it was
the first time the crane had
been assembled, Simon Marr
thinks that time could be
halved for the next project.
The choice of the M2480D
for this project was a direct
result of the need to manage
heavy lifts. A 120 tonne boiler
unit was the largest scheduled
task. That was combined with
the congestion that would be
caused by small working areas
in multiple locations. The
heavy duty tower crane can
not only complete the largest
and most difficult of lifts from
the one location, it can also do
Lifting capacity is 330 tonnes at
14.4 m radius with 36.9 m boom
and seeing how both site
congestion can be eliminated
and construction programmes
shortened using heavy lift
tower cranes.”
Get on with it
so under the attentive eye of
the crane operators supplied
by Marr Contracting. On this
site with such a multitude of
nationalities, communication
by universally recognised
hand signals, plus radio
communication, adds another
margin of safety to the job.
The M2480D is the third
crane in a heavy duty series of
machines designed by Marr
Contractors in conjunction
with Favelle Favco. Simon
Marr explains the company’s
large investment in heavy
lifting construction tower
cranes, “Our modern fleet
of tower cranes, including
the three large Favcos is the
core of our business. We
have seen the need for cranes
capable of both heavy lifts
and general site work in areas
where there is not the room
to set up conventional cranes.
Many people are now seeing
outside the traditional square,
The philosophy behind Marr
Contractors is no-nonsense, as
it has been since inception in
1926 when the company built
the first of its mobile cranes in
Sydney. Marr’s is now a third
generation family company
that likes to get on with the
job and rarely makes public
statements.
The range of cranes from
the massive M2480D down to
the M40R recovery crane have
all been developed with careful
consideration for applications.
The M1280D and M1680D
are the other two heavy lift
cranes in the Marr’s fleet.
These cranes have 50 tonne
winches and both can achieve
hook heights of 170 m
freestanding before lateral ties
into a structure are needed.
These cranes have been used
in a number of industrial and
INTERNATIONAL
construction applications
where establishment area was
limited.
Hydroelectric power
stations, oil refineries and
Melbourne’s famous MCG
sporting arena are some of
the jobs these big cranes
have helped complete. At
the time of writing in early
January 2009 the M1680D was
operating mounted on rails
on a 2 km wharf project in the
very North West of Australia.
The Integrated Domestic
Solid Waste Management
Centre under construction
in Doha could be a good
indicator for the immediate
future for construction
projects. Sustainable
environmental projects, for
example, water and waste
treatment, along with wind
energy projects and clean fuel
technology may be where
many in the crane industry
will find work over the coming
years as high rise residential
and commercial developments
slow down in line with the
depressed world economy. ■

Cattron, in the US, will exhibit the new LRCM1, a medium size joystick controller for
cranes, other lifting equipment and machines
used in demanding industrial environments.
It has dual-processor electronics which
are protected in an ergonomic and durable
housing, says the company. As part of the
company’s new CattronControl product
series, which shares a common technical
platform for electronics, RF modules,
software, compatibility, maintenance,

treet Cranes, in the
UK, has launched
a new range of
hoists: the ZX6 and ZX8.
The company invested
UK£1.5 million (US$2.19
million) in their development. They will
be aimed at the successful kit crane export
business that Street Crane has developed
over the last decade.
The company produces up to 500
standard cranes a year at its factory in the
UK. A further 2,500 kit form products are
despatched globally every year to existing
manufacturers, acting as distributors. The
company has 43 partners around the
world, including Canada, Thailand,
India, Malaysia, China and the Middle
East, as well as Northern America.

RANGE EXTENSION AT DEMAG
Demag is extending its range of chain hoists with
variable speeds in the upper load capacity range.
The launch of the DCS-Pro 10 adds to the range
of chain hoists fitted with an integrated frequency
inverter up to 2.5 tonnes. They follow the launches of
the company’s generations DR rope hoist and DC chain
hoist.
The FDR foot-mounted hoist is a further development of the
DR electric rope hoist, in line with market requirements, says
the company.
“The FDR achieves high lifting speeds and, therefore, high
handling rates. For precise positioning, the foot-mounted
hoist unit features two hoist speeds as standard. With its
ProHub function, the FDR also features load-dependent speed
control,” says the company.
The company has improved its Demag KBK crane
construction kit with two new developments. The Bo-Clip
provides considerable improvements in handling and
significantly faster assembly, says the company, as no tool
is needed to fit the new pin retaining device. The second
development, the X crane suspension is used to connect the
crane girder to the trolley in the crane runway. “This newly
developed component not only simplifies assembly, it also makes the installation easier to
maintain and improves the safety of KBK suspension crane installations,” Demag explains.
Another company development, this time in its process cranes segment is a scanner for
automatic overhead cranes in the recycling, bulk material industry and waste burning plants.
“The scanners, fitted below the crane bridge, permanently track the height contours of the
heaped refuse as the crane travels over it. The software uses the information to determine a
constantly updated height profile of the refuse bunker. The grab no longer has to be raised to the
highest possible position for the crane to travel over it. The grab position is adapted according to
the profile – even while the crane is travelling. This saves time, increases the handling rate and,
therefore, improves efficiency.”
Demag says future developments in process cranes will come as customers demand longer
lifecycles. “So the focus will be made on investment and also on the following costs of service and
refurbishment,” says the company.
The company provides automatic solutions for paper roll storage, the bulk material handling
industry and steel industry, including the warehouse management software. Worldwide, the
company has provided 30 paper roll storage systems with 80 crane systems

INTERNATIONAL

range provides lifting

Safe load
Advantages of the new ZX6 and ZX8 are
that they can fit into a small box for easy
transport and they boast features that
similar products do not have. The hoist
brake is situated on the gear box output
shaft. This means, says Pimblett, that a
break can occur in the motor or other
shaft and you would not drop the load. In
addition, the hoist gears are submerged in
oil. Open geared products are cheaper to
make, Pimblett says, “but are not that good
a design.”
The machines are available in a huge
number of combinations, incorporating,
for example, safe working speed, duty and
lifting height. There are many advantages
to the kits, says Pimblett, one of them
being that that they are supplied with plugin electrics, meaning there is no need to
employ so many electricians on site.
The unique feature of the Street Crane
package is that the company promises
not to compete with the distributor in
their own market, allowing them to take
advantage of the after-sales business.
“We work entirely through our partners,
which is a very attractive thing. They are
not only selling the same product, their
biggest competitor is not going to pick up
the parts and service. They sell under the
Street brand and the distributor brand. It’s
been very successful,” says Pimblett. “The
point is, we are in a post-industrial period
in the Western world. If we were to open
a crane factory in the US, for instance,
there would not be the return on capital, so
better to pick a partner with those facilities
and take a share in the profit. We have
grown very fast on that strategy.”
INDUSTRIAL LIFTING
New strategy
About 80% of Street Crane’s output is
exported but only a very small percentage
of that is made up of standard complete
cranes and they are mainly large capacity
special cranes that are beyond the
manufacturing capabilities of some of
Street’s partners.
The company says it has about 40%
of the UK market and realised it could
not keep growing by exporting in its
traditional way, so adopted the component
export strategy.
The overhead crane market in
China is about 120,000 units every
year, says Pimblett. That compares to
about 1,000 units in the UK. It means
that capturing a small percentage of the
Chinese, or one of the other emerging
markets, has the same affect as gaining
40% of UK sales. “There is one market for
cheap, local, more primitive hoists and
another market for more advanced hoists.
So when we go to developing countries
– rapidly growing markets with huge
opportunities – we do not need 50% of the
market share, if we get 5% that is serious
business.”
Company sales for the 2008/2009
financial year are forecast to be
comfortably ahead of the previous year
with growth of 35 to 40%. To cater for
this growth the company is investing in a
new factory extension, which will see the
workshops increased by 30%.
Looking ahead, Pimblett says the UK
market seems to be quietening down and
there is a possible drop-off in standard
crane sales. The prospects for kit cranes,
however, are still very positive, he adds,
as is the business directed at large scale
projects, such as power plants, which
tend to run their course, even through a
recession.
In South East Asia, where the
potential for Street Crane is so high,
Pimblett forecasts a slowdown but not a
recession. “There is still growth in those
economies and investments in that part
of the world.”

HIGHWAY INITIATIVES
Shuttlelift supplied its ISL 55B and ISL 70B gantry mobile cranes to James Construction Group
Llc. The company is responsible for a critical reconstruction phase of the LA 1 highway between
Port Fourchon and Leeville, Louisiana, US.
“The new road will be elevated by approximately 22 feet, over a 7 mile stretch, to counteract
flooding that the old LA 1 suffered due to subsidence and coastal erosion. Due to the difficult
terrain, both ISLs are operating on temporary rail tracks that are being piled-in to run alongside
the elevated section, in leap-frog style, picking up pre-delivered and precast concrete bridge
sections and girders,” explains Dan Reinholtz, Shuttlelift gantry sales.
This unusual operational feature meant that both ISLs had to be specially built to operate on
rails, while retaining the ability to be converted back to traditional rubber tyred gantries once the
job is complete.
“Converting the ISL 55B was relatively straightforward; rail wheels were built with the same
bolt pattern as conventional wheels and bolted to the planetary drive, just like the standard wheels
would have been, then the steering cylinder was replaced with an adjustable rigid link.”

SITE REPORT
Lifting it down
hen the owner of an old portal
crane in Nor way no longer
wanted to pay for its upkeep, they
called in Vest Kran to demolish it.
Owner Leirvik Module Technologies
(LMT) decided that the O&K portal crane
from the 1970s was costing more than
they wanted to pay for certification and
maintenance so it had to go. It weighed
more than 300 tonnes, was 60 m long and
stood more than 70 m tall.
Vest Kran used three Terex Demag
wheeled telescopic mobile cranes: an
AC 600, an AC 350 and an AC 200 to lift
down the steel structure. An excavator with
a demolition shear clipped off the legs as the
old crane was lowered towards the ground.
The job was all engineered and
completed by Vest Kran. “We engineered
and calculated everything from the
information available from the O&K
factory drawings from the 1970s, combined
with the experience our crew have with
structures like these and safety procedures
required for a job like this,” explained Jørn
Losvar, Vest Kran spokesman.

decisions so the job could be carried out
in good time and with minimum impact
on the production of oil rig living quarter
modules that LMT produces at the facility.
There were several unknown factors
that could influence procedures and safety
aspects. “Even though the owner said that
the gantry was in good condition, we could
not exclude any possible weakening in the
steel or structure caused by rust or damage
from its years of service near the sea,”
Losvar explained.

work when the cranes had been repositioned
and hooked on again. The excavator clipped

end of the old crane, was rigged with 33 m of
main boom, 30 m fly jib and superlift. The
AC 350 with superlift took the other end and
the AC 200 was in the middle

INTERNATIONAL
SITE REPORT
Early on when the AC 600 was hooked
low in the top structure for maximum
strength and to allow short ropes. Due
to the possibility of the load swinging
caused by the excavator when clipping
the legs, tight clearance was needed
between the cranes and the load. The
top of the O&K portal was 70 m up and
the structure weighed 300 tonnes
Cutting the structure prior to lowering
lower the heavy cargo equally, at the same
speed, to keep the amount of weight on
each crane as per the plan. In addition, the
impact of the shear had to be considered
and monitored as the operator was clipping
the legs off. Since the shipyard contained
modules for oil rigs positioned all around
the portal crane, a collapse would have been
catastrophic.
The job required extensive planning and
600 tonnes of equipment was driven to the
site and rigged on the spot. The lift was
executed within a weekend towards the end
of 2008.
Late at night on the Sunday, David, as
the owner had named the gantry, was safely
on the ground. All 300 tonnes of steel had
landed safely thanks to the skills of a hard
working crew. The shear on the excavator
clipped the steel tubing into small pieces
and it was transported away from the job
site the next day.

Lower and cut
Careful planning was critical for a safe
and smooth operation. Planning started
six months ahead and the jobsite was
visited and inspected several times. The
dismantling was carried out over two weeks,
while the lifting and clipping of the legs
took only two days, from start to finish.
The challenge was how to safely lower
the gantry within the safety limits of the
capacities of the three mobile cranes used
to hold it. “We chose to hook the AC 600
at the top in one end and the AC 350 and
AC 200 hooked low on the legs on the other
side for the first lift. We had to produce
specially fitted hooking attachments to
hook the legs about 30 m above ground,”
Losvar explained.
The AC 200, with jib, was used to carry a
man basket while the other two cranes were
hooked on. The AC 600 was rigged with
24 m fly jib and sideways superlift. It was
hooked in to the top of the lighter end of
the portal crane. The AC 350, with superlift
and main boom, was hooked in one of the
legs at the heavy end. The AC 200 was then
hooked on the other leg at the AC 350 end
for the first part of the lift.
For the second lift, when the portal had
been lowered about 24 m, the 600 was not
moved but the 350 was repositioned and
it was hooked into the upper part of the
heavy end of the gantry on top. The AC
200 was then hooked in the centre of the
gantry at the very top. That was to stabilise
it and stop it from rolling over as the gantry
legs, which acted as ballast, were clipped off
using the shear on the Caterpillar excavator
as the load was gradually lowered. That
happened after the trolley was cut off and
the portal was hanging freely from the three
cranes.
As with any lift using two or more
cranes together, great care was needed to
Safety controllers from customer Leirvik
Module Technologies (LMT) made an inspection
during the production of the fastener devices for
hooking the legs for the first lift. The jobsite was
surrounded by factory buildings, paint shops
and two ready-to-ship oil rig modules worth

SC&RA COMMENT
COMMENT
Joel M Dandrea
Save green by going green
The SC&RA Strategic Plan for 2009-2012 approved by
the Association’s Board of Directors last month included
the objective: “Go Green with increased awareness and
visibility for environmental issues.” We intend to take this objective
very seriously.
A concern for the environment should no longer conjure
images of “tree huggers” who have little or no regard for capitalism.
Companies of all sizes are learning that they can save green by
going green.
For example, when Wal-Mart convinced the makers of
Hamburger Helper to change its packaging, the redesign was the
equivalent of taking 500 trucks off the road, saving nearly 900,000
pounds (400 tonnes) of paper fibre annually, reducing greenhouse
emissions by 11% and opening up shelf space for other products in
its stores.
That is one of the company’s many small steps leading to big
changes. As an international company based in the US, Wal-Mart
is also making a difference in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China,
Costa Rica, El Salvador, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Japan,
Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.
Like Wal-Mart, SC&RA is a member of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s SmartWay Transport Partnership. This
innovative public-private initiative supports freight shippers,
carriers and logistics companies in setting and achieving ambitious
goals that increase fuel efficiency and reduce emission of
greenhouse gases and air pollutants.
At least once a month, we have been including helpful
suggestions from SmartWay in the weekly SC&RA Newsletter.
Readers recently learned, for example, that automatic tyre inflation
systems can extend tyre life by 8%, reduce fuel consumption by
over 100 gallons annually for a typical combination truck and,
potentially, eliminate more than one metric tonne of greenhouse
gas emissions annually.
Related suggestions make sense too, of course, for members as
they drive their personal vehicles. If you drive 12,000 miles
(19,312 kilometres) a year, you could save about 16 gallons
(60 litres) by keeping your car tyres properly inflated. In the
United States alone, the gasoline savings could total 1.6 billion
gallons (6 billion litres), equivalent to the total volume of ice cream
produced in the US each year, according to the green book.
I recently received a copy of that 200-page paperback (printed
on recycled paper, naturally) as a token of appreciation from a
hotel that SC&RA had selected for a major meeting. Although the
book certainly was intended to make recipients feel good about the
hotel, at least one of the simple steps suggested could benefit the
company financially: Use the same linens and towels in your hotel
throughout your stay.
“You probably don’t change your sheets and towels every
day at home, so why do it while you’re away?” noted the book.
“The average hotel room consumes … as much as your entire
household typically uses in a day. Trimming the amount of water
used by washing sheets and towels can save up to 40% of a hotel’s
water use.”
Yet another entry explained that you could conserve up to five
gallons (19 litres) of water a day simply by turning off the tap while
you brush your teeth. In the US alone, that could add up to more
water than is consumed every day in New York City.
Such water-saving advice would certainly meet the approval of
Jean-Michael Cousteau, undersea explorer, author, film producer
and son of the legendary Jacques Cousteau. SC&RA is proud
to announce that Jean-Michael will be a featured speaker at the
SC&RA 2009 Annual Conference, 21-25 April, at the La Quinta
Resort, in Greater Palm Springs, California, US.
Through his presentation, The Business of Nature, he will
inspire attendees with his commitment to preserving the
environment and growing sustainable businesses. You can expect
other presentations on related topics at key SC&RA meetings
during the coming years as we help our members indentify
practical ways to protect the environment while protecting their
bottom line.

SC&RA NEWS
The Specialized Transportation
Symposium is a major annual
event to help all interested parties
meet challenges in the industry. This year it
runs from 11 to 13 March at the Hyatt Regency
Albuquerque, New Mexico in the US.
TERRY WHITE previews the event
Road to New
or more than 20 years SC&RA has
conducted a major annual meeting
that offers specialized carriers,
state and federal government officials,
researchers, manufacturers and suppliers
a unique opportunity to share ideas on
meeting the challenges facing the industry.
That tradition will continue at the 2009
Specialized Transportation Symposium,
11 to 13 March, at the Hyatt Regency
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“The very significant issues the industry
will encounter throughout this year make it
even more important for everyone involved
in the industry to work together at the
Symposium,” said Joel Dandrea, SC&RA
executive vice president. “Of particular
concern is the 2009 surface transportation
bill to be addressed by Congress. The US
must get this right because it will affect
everyone profoundly until at least 2016,
when the following transportation bill is
considered.”
Addressing the 2009 surface
transportation bill during a highlighted
session at the Symposium will be Greg
Cohen, president of the American Highway
Users Alliance (AHUA). Members
of AHUA include a diverse range of
businesses and non-profit associations that
rely on safe and efficient roads to transport
their families, employees, customers, and
products. The organization has established
itself as a leader in efforts to work with
Congress and the Executive Branch “to
devise a ground-breaking new highway
bill in 2009 that reforms and strengthens
our national investment in surface
transportation.”
Dandrea noted that the knowledge
attendees gain by attending such sessions

Mexico
often enables them to make informed
decisions, resulting in more profitable,
safer operations.
In addition to covering federal issues,
the Symposium will again feature a candid
appraisal by state transportation officials
concerning over dimensional transport’s
critical issues, particularly efforts to
advance uniformity in the permitting
process for oversize and or overweight
loads. This year’s panellists, all from the
US, will be Richard Clasby, Utah; Tommy
Thames, Mississippi; and Michelle Teel,
Missouri.
“Uniformity leads to efficiency, which
in turn leads to a positive economic impact
for our members, the agencies regulating
them and all other industries that rely on
the specialized services provided by our
members,” said Doug Ball, SC&RA vice
Railway
Industrial
Clearance
Association
president-transportation. “Times are tough
and that makes it even more important that
we all work together to determine actions
that keep our members moving forward.”
Among other important issues to be
addressed in sessions are infrastructure
constraints versus cargo movement
demands, environmental challenges
and opportunities, practices that
simultaneously enhance safety and
profitability, and the use of proper
contracts to provide protection in routine
business transactions.
Tempering the serious nature of the
issues, featured speaker James Lloyd
will magically engage attendees with a
unique blend of timely humour, insightful
knowledge, contagious enthusiasm and
personal sharing. The motivational
speaker, who has captivated and inspired
audiences on five continents for 25 years,
will examine the three burning questions
that everyone asks themselves at life’s end.
He will explain why the secret to happiness
and productivity is to begin answering
them now.
Still another highlight will be the Exhibit
Center, which will be open on two days.
While giving attendees the opportunity to
learn more about the products and services
of 21 leading companies that specialize
in the industry, this event helps those
exhibitors better understand the changing
needs of their customers.
The Exhibit Center, practical sessions on
issues such as safety and energy efficiency,
and numerous opportunities to network
with their colleagues during receptions and
breaks make the Specialized Transportation
Symposium attractive for SC&RA members
worldwide, according to Doug Ball.
“We keep hearing of alliances and

partnerships being formed by our members
in different countries as a result of their
participation at the Symposiums,” he said.
“That benefit has become increasingly
important in today’s global economy.”
Many attendees will be arriving early,
on 10 March, for meetings of the Pilot Car
Task Force and of regional associations of
state highway and transportation officials.
Before the symposium’s opening session on
11 March, the regional associations of state
officials will reconvene while SC&RA holds
special sessions of its Truck Permit Policy
Committee and Transportation Group
Safety Committee.

On KHL.com this month
T
he most viewed story on the cranes section
of the KHL web site www.khl.com/ic last
month was a report on the recovery of
the United Airlines flight 1549 Airbus passenger
aircraft that made an emergency landing in the
Hudson River, New York.
We reported the story as soon as possible and,
as more information became available, we added
more detail of the crane operations to raise and
remove the aircraft and one of its two engines that
had become detached from the aircraft on landing.
Unsurprisingly, it took some time before we could
get to speak to the lifting contractor as he had
been busy.
The plane took off from LaGuardia International
Airport on 15 January, bound for Charlotte, North
Carolina, when it is thought to have hit a flock of
birds, causing both engines to fail. The pilot made
an emergency landing in the nearby river. Weeks
Inside
KHL.com
Marine worked all day and into the night on 17
January to rig and lift the aircraft from the river.
A 52 Clyde heavy lift crane secured to a barge
hoisted the submerged plane out of the icy waters
and placed it onto another barge for transport.
The 52 Clyde is a 750 US ton (680 tonne) capacity
floating crane, which, according to Weeks Heavy
Lift vice president Tom Weeks, is the largest
rotating crane on a barge on the US East Coast.
The assist crane was a 37 Davo, a 115 ton (104
tonne) former military machine. It was used as a
service crane and would have been deployed on
the main job if the rigging slipped during the initial
lift. “If for some reason the plane dipped we could
have used that crane to equalize it,” said Weeks.
“But that didn’t happen. We were able to correct
the rigging with a whip line on the large crane.”

Other highlights
April sees the
presentation of Liebherr’s
new 350 tonne capacity
LTM 1350-6.1 all terrain crane.
The new six-axle mobile crane
will be shown at the Intermat
construction equipment exhibition in Paris,
France from 20 to 25 April. Its 70 m telescopic
boom is 10 m longer than its LTM 1300-6.1
predecessor.
Preliminary Palfinger
results for 2008 showed a
14% increase in revenue due
to a strong beginning to 2008
and three acquisitions. A 31%
drop in earnings, however,
reflected the weakening market and accounting
rules which apply to acquisitions, such as
depreciation and impairment.

A new type of trailer
mounted mobile
telescopic crane will be
launched by Manitowoc in
April. The Grove GSK55 is
the upper works from a
55 tonne capacity Grove GMK3055 all terrain
mounted on a road trailer hauled by a standard
commercial tractor unit.
Manitowoc appoints
engineering and
innovation SVP. A senior
vice president of global
engineering and innovation
has been appointed at
Manitowoc Cranes. Andreas Schwer is
responsible for driving innovation and coordinating engineering activities to enhance the
culture of innovation and new technology.

CUTTING EDGE
Sperian Welding Protection
with Optrel has launched its
Expert range of optoelectronic
masks, designed to withstand
the most demanding welding
processes and meet all safety
requirements.
Filters on the Expert Optrel
e680 and e670 provide clear,
sharp vision and accurately
reflect the colours of the part
to be welded as well as the
indicator lights on the welding
machine, says the company.
Improved visibility is also
provided with a 33% increase
in the field of vision thanks to a
49.5 x 100 mm screen.
A finer shell means
they weigh 15% less than
predecessors, at 500 grammes.
The use of bright, metallic
colours such as copper, steel,
red and white for the external
shell also reduces internal
temperatures by up to 50%.

The European VG11 working
group was set up to analyse
and improve the efficiency of
testing methods for fall protection
equipment on edges. Part of the
team was Miller.
Although testing methods
developed by VG11 have not yet
been included in regulatory
standards, Miller has used
its recommendations in the
development of its latest range
including the Manyard. It uses
new technology developed from
the textile industry, combined with elastic materials. The Maynard uses a patented protective sleeve with
mechanical properties resistant to impacts against edges, says the company.

Overhead calculations
Magnetek, Inc., a US-based
power control and delivery
systems manufacturer, has
launched a new drive repair and
re-certification programme for
the overhead material handling
industry.
DriveMD is designed to
streamline the drive repair
process. Customers can quickly
and easily determine the repair
cost for most Electromotive
Systems Impulse drives.
Magnetek has also added
the SBP2 S eries Pendant
Stations to its online product
Configurator, part of Magnetek
Material Handling’s online

quote when needed for an
SBP2 series pendant station
configured to their exact
sp ecif ications,” explained
Maureen Krause-Piemeisel,
electrification product manager.

Roddy and William
Patterson, from F.B.
Patterson & Sons in
Scotland, sent in this picture
of a 10 tonne capacity
1965 Coles truck crane.
The brothers spent a year
restoring the machine after
they bought it five years ago.
It is in full working order
and road legal.
Roddy Patterson said the
crane, which is on an AEC
chassis, would lift seven
tonnes through 360 degrees
without outriggers. While it
is not in everyday use, the
Pattersons are planning to
show it at events.
