R eporting from Bossier City, La., following the first day of
sessions at ACRP’s annual meeting, I was struck by the at-
tention to detail these safety professionals give the ASME
standards. The Association of Crane & Rigging Profession-
als meets each year to educate members, many of whom are corpo-
rate or professional trainers. It’s imperative that they know national
crane standards, such as ASME’s B30 volume, inside and out so they
can then pass that knowledge on to crane and rigging users—much
like passing a baton in a relay race.
A series of presentations included an overview of B30.1 through B30.29, and at least eight
of the standards were reviewed in detail. These included jacks, below-the-hook devices,
slings, hand hoists, rigging hardware, overhead cranes, and mobile cranes. Several of the
presenters work on ASME subcommittees and so are privy to potential changes coming
down the pike. But overwhelmingly, the speakers emphasized how common it is to find
users who are still unfamiliar with the standards, even ones that have been in place for
years—and thus the importance of reviewing, reviewing, reviewing.
“A lot of people in the industry wonder if they’re OSHA-compliant,” posed speaker
Peter Cooke, with Columbus McKinnon. “OSHA places compliance responsibility on the
end user. So we must be aware of all OSHA
requirements in the area in which we operate.”
And that, says Cooke, requires knowing what’s
written in the most recent ASME standards.
“ASME is one large pool of work practices
documents,” explained Mike Parnell of Industrial
Training International. “We use them to establish
minimum standards in our workplace.” ASME
standards, Parnell continued, “are not used by
OSHA to do compliance evaluations.” For compliance, he said, OSHA uses their own docu-
ments. But, he added, “After an accident or incident, OSHA would use ASME docs.”
In other news, Maximum Capacity Media, publisher of Crane Hot Line and Lift and
Access magazines, announces that in 2011 it will hold its Crane & Rigging Conference in
conjunction with ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas, Nev.
“I am very excited that ConExpo/ConAgg has invited us to co-locate our event with the
2011 trade show in Las Vegas,” said Guy Ramsey, president of Maximum Capacity Media.
“It’s one of the two largest construction equipment expositions in the world, the show
typically hosts thousands of crane owners, operators, and rigging professionals. Partnering
CRC with ConExpo makes it possible to promote the safe and productive use of cranes to
a much larger audience.”
This will be the second year for the conference. The inaugural event was held last month
in Houston, Texas. Approximately 300 crane and rigging professionals attended the event,
which was centered around the theme “Promoting Crane Safety and Technology.” The
theme for the 2011 exposition is “Innovation From the Ground Up.”
“We placed extra focus on lifting equipment at the 2008 ConExpo-Con/Agg and we want
to build on that in 2011 and beyond,” said Megan Tanel, vice president exhibitions and
events for the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). “Co-locating the Crane &
Rigging Conference with next year’s show will help strengthen the value of our event for the
lifting industry and the contractors that use lifting equipment,” she said.
“We are pleased that AEM has recognized our value to the industry. We will work hard
to help them achieve their stated objective to add value to ConExpo by strengthening their
focus on cranes and rigging,” added Ramsey.

Davis Erection Co. Inc., Kansas City, Kan., was selected by Daktronics
Inc., Brookings, S.D., and American Lift and Sign, Omaha, Neb., to
improve the home game experience for Kansas City Chiefs fans. As part of
the NFL team’s renovation of Arrowhead Stadium, Davis installed end-zone
scoreboards and speakers in the summer of 2009.
Davis crews dismantled and removed the existing scoreboards and
speaker box. New structural supports, stairs, and ladders were added inside
and around the old frame. Working from the playing fi eld was not an option
and the scoreboards cantilever over the existing seating, so much of the
work could only be performed effectively out of personnel baskets attached
to Kobelco CK-1000 and CK-2000 crawler cranes, both from Davis’s fl eet.
The completed cabinet weighed over 57,000 pounds and had to be
placed 130 feet in the air at a 140-foot radius. To make the lift, Crane
Rental and Rigging of Omaha supplied a 550-ton Grove GMK-7550 AT.
With the Kobelco and Grove cranes, Scott Houdek of Davis Equipment
said, “We worked almost 12,000 hours without an OSHA recordable, [and]
fi nished the job on time with everything operational before the fi rst pre-
season game at Arrowhead.”
The GMK6450 from Manitowoc, Manitowoc, Wis., is the world’s
most powerful six-axle all-terrain crane, according to the com-
pany. Th e crane has a 450-ton maximum capacity. Although designed
for benefi cial cost of ownership, strength was the focus. “Customers
told us not to compromise on the load chart for a few extra meters of
boom,” said Neil Hollingshead, Manitowoc’s global product director
for all-terrain and rough-terrain cranes. “Th e charts show clear advan-
tages over other cranes in this class.” Additionally, a prominent feature
of the GMK6450 is its Mega-Wing Lift capacity-enhancing attachment
with patented self-rigging system that mounts on the chassis and con-
nects to the boom.
Other features include a hybrid drive system built for travel at low
speeds, good traction on poor surfaces, and power from a single, larger
engine for reduced weight and better fuel economy.

Mood at Bauma Positive Among Challenges
At CraneHotLine.com you can fi nd listings for more than 3,000 cranes
Cranes in Action Despite a ban on air travel due
to volcanic ash clouds, Bauma
2010 organizers say the April trade
show marked a turnaround in the in-
ternational construction machinery
industry. “Th e mood in the industry
shows that in Europe, the bottom
of the cycle is now behind us,” said
Ralf Wezel of the Committee for
European Construction Equipment
(CECE). “Confi dence has returned.”
At the start of the fair, exhibitors felt the lack of many customers
from Asia and America, said Wezel. About 50 exhibitors were prevent-
ed from coming to the fair, but the mood was good by the close of the
fair. Likewise, exhibitors were reporting more sales than expected.
“We had a lot of new busi-
ness opportunities some of
which already resulted in
unexpected conclusions of
sale,” said Michikazu Okada,
vice-president of Hitachi
Sumitomo Heavy Indus-
tries Construction Crane
Co., Ltd., Japan.
The Specialized Carriers and
Rigging Association recognized
three projects as Jobs of the Year
winners in rigging.
In the Over $750,000 category,
Barnhart, Memphis, Tenn., won for
providing a heavy-lift system and
engineered rigging for the replace-
ment of a reactor vessel closure
head in a nuclear power plant. Tight
clearance, seismic design require-
ments, and critical schedule all add-
ed to the complexities of the job.
Crane Rental Corp., Orlando, Fla.,
received an award in the $150,000
to $750,000 category for installa-
tion of a 150-foot, 240,000-pound
coal conveyer over the water intake
canal at Tampa Electric’s Big Bend
power plant. The project featured
the use of a 700-ton barge-mounted
gantry system to set the conveyor
system in place.
Barnhart received a second award
in the Under $150,000 category for
the expeditious replacement of a
damaged bridge section in Shreve-
port, La., during one weekend in
June 2009. Barnhart removed the
estimated 260,000-pound section,
which measured 86 feet long, 17'6"
wide, and 15 feet high using a
60-ton assist crane and Goldhofer
transport system.

In September 2009, Zoomlion purchased CIFA SpA, the world’s largest full-line manufacturer of con-
crete equipment. Although Zoomlion, a Chinese manufacturer of tower, crawler, and rough-terrain
cranes, has had a presence in North America for more than three years, the CIFA acquisition positions
the company to better serve the North American market.
In an April interview with Matteo Rolla, president, and Bob Miller,
North American sales manager, Crane Hot Line learned that Zoomlion
is in the process of establishing U.S. headquarters in Yorkville, Wis.,
where CIFA USA already has a facility and a 30,000 square-foot ware-
house available for Zoomlion to use for parts and service.
Zoomlion’s mobile crane and speciality vehicles division will ini-
tially focus on importing crawler cranes. A full interview with Rolla
and Miller will appear in the July issue of Crane Hot Line.
In related news, Global Crane Sales, Houston, Texas, has agreed
to distribute Zoomlion rough-terrain cranes worldwide. This marks
the fi rst time Zoomlion has offered its RT cranes for the western
market. Four models are available: 40-ton RT35; 60-ton RT55; 80-
ton RT75; and 110-ton RT100. Deliveries are scheduled to begin late

Guest PerspectiveGuest PerspectiveeGuest Perspective
An Attorney’s AdventureBy Ryan Warren
I felt myself break out in a sweat as I tapped the crane’s con-
trols, desperately trying to keep the load from striking the
outrigger. I knew it was all over if the two touched and that
I was being watched by people who probably didn’t think
I could do it. I’m a lawyer. How did I end up in crane operator’s
school? Handling a 50-gallon drum with a Terex truck-mounted
crane was just one moment in my unlikely adventure to become
a certified crane operator. I ended up in such a strange place, at
least for a lawyer, through luck, the help of some great people, and
a growing fascination with the world of cranes.
Over the years, I’ve built a practice representing construction
companies, developers, and owners with negotiation, litigation,
and also personal injury cases. Then a few years ago I was asked
by a large national crane insurer to defend a crane company that
was being sued as a result of an accident in Colorado.
The complexities of crane accidents The case was significant. One worker was blinded while
another was killed. There was more than a million dollars in
property damage. Due to a provision of Colorado’s worker’s
compensation law, all of the companies involved in the project,
especially the one most at fault for the accident, were immune
from being sued over the injuries and death.
All were immune, that is, except for the crane company. By a
quirk in the law, the crane company was left hanging. Not surpris-
ingly, the crane operator, who had never before had an accident,
was certified. The operator, considered one of the safest the in-
jured worker’s co-employees had ever seen, was being portrayed
as a one-man catastrophe by the injured worker’s attorney.
I didn’t know a darned thing about cranes when I started the
case. I had hundreds of questions: “What’s an LMI? What does it
take to be a certified operator? Manito-what?”
Luckily, I had some of the most knowledgeable crane people
in the country at my fingertips. They answered my questions,
taught me about cranes and operators, and helped me under-
stand why the injured worker was not injured as a result of my
client or its operator. I achieved a favorable outcome for my
client and the operator in this case, but the case had a curious
effect on me—I fell in love with the world of cranes.
More cases defending crane companies and their operators
came my way. I liked these crane cases. The appeal is the equip-
ment is fascinating; crane accident cases are generally large and
complex; and crane-industry people are by-and-large straight-
forward, honest, and refuse to put up with a lot of stuff. The
biggest factor was simply that I liked my clients. They were real
people with real businesses, trying their very hardest to do it
right and make a living.
A broader experience One day I was speaking with
Jim Headley, the owner of the
Crane Institute of America,
about one of my cases. It sud-
denly dawned on me, one of the best ways for me to learn about
cranes and the challenges facing crane operators would be to get
out from behind my desk and get into a crane. I talked to Jim
about my idea, and he was immediately enthusiastic and invited
me to go through one of the Crane Institute’s courses.
I thought a lot about this over the next few months. I had years
of construction and personal injury litigation experience, and I
had thoroughly learned the regulations and industry standards
relating to cranes. The one thing I really didn’t know or under-
stand was what it was like to be an operator.
Operators had described for me their joys, frustrations, and
stresses, but I appreciated this only secondhand. I needed to
gain some personal insight. So I headed to Florida to attend a
Crane Institute of America “Mobile Crane Operator – Hands
On” course with six other students, all crane operators with years
of experience. They were surprised to learn that I had exactly no
experience operating cranes. Then I was reminded why I like this
industry when one grizzled and tattooed fellow barked, “Well,
hell, that’s a damned fine idea! Welcome!” I started the class with
a smile.
It was a whirlwind week. I learned about boom lengths and jib
weight deductions and manufacturer’s charts. I learned to have a
soft touch while maintaining a hard lookout. I learned it can take
a lawyer twice as long to work through a load-chart problem as a
crane operator with a high-school education. And I learned one
can break out in an immediate sweat when one thinks his load is
going to strike an outrigger during a test.
At some point I decided that in addition to completing the
course, I was going to go through the Crane Institute Certifica-
tion, an accredited certification program. Of course, I recognized
that that didn’t make me in any way a competent crane operator.
And, my certification would be in the smallest class of crane avail-
able, but still, I knew I wanted this.
That’s how I came to be a newbie crane operator on the back of
a truck-mounted crane moving a barrel around like it was stuck in
cold molasses. But I made it through the obstacle course within
my allotted time and passed my practical exam.
When that “Certified Crane Operator” card came in the mail
a few weeks later, I walked around the office showing it off like
a little kid. I was pretty proud. But ultimately, I pushed ahead in
this unlikely adventure to make me a better defender of crane
operators and owners.

In recent years, tower cranes have been
the focus of new legislation across the
country, while training and certifica-
tion providers have moved to offer
more services for tower crane inspectors and
operators. Two jurisdictions that took well-
planned approaches to tower crane legisla-
tion are Philadelphia, Pa., and Washington
State. In 2008, Philadelphia, Pa., established
regulations for tower crane erection, use,
inspection, and operation by certified op-
erators. A provision requiring certified signal
persons and riggers goes into affect Oct. 9,
2010. Washington State now requires that all
cranes be certified by an accredited crane in-
spector and that crane operators be certified
for the type of crane they are operating.
Other jurisdictions include West Virginia,
which updated existing language to include
definitions for tower cranes; New York City,

Specialists discuss tower crane erection, inspection, and disassembly
Crane Rental Corp. currently has three Terex-Peiner tower cranes on a children’s hospital construction project in Orlando, Fla. On the horizon are two SK415s and in the foreground is an SK315. The cranes are being used for poured-in-place concrete.
Late last year, Able Rigging, Deer Park, N.Y., successfully demobilized three tower cranes in fi ve days
to beat the deadline for New York’s annual crane moratorium that began Nov. 23, 2009. By beating the
clock, Able Rigging crews saved contractors more than $100,000 in fi nes imposed after the moratorium.
The three locations were all in Manhattan in close proximity to subways and commercial towers. All
three jobs required multiple street closures. The ultimate challenge with these jobs was the logistics. Able
crews had to move more than 40 trailer loads out of the city with no staging area at any of the three job
sites. Ground loadings had to be carefully monitored because of close proximity to subways. Supports and
mats were used to minimize ground pressure, and the absolute bare minimum counterweight was used in
order to keep outrigger loads as low as possible.
Able used the same crew for all three jumps where master rigger Robert LaChapelle served as supervi-
sor with a crew of tower crane demobilization specialists led by rigging foreman Vincent Bill.
“All that any of us do is run cranes, rig them, and disassemble them,” said LaChapelle. “That day in-
day out experience is the only thing that makes this work safe. Experience, professionalism, and prepara-
tion were the keys to Able Rigging’s ability to execute these three unique and challenging jobs in such a
short time frame.”
The fi rst crane dismantled was a freestanding, 11-section Favco 220 with a 90-foot boom, used at
maximum height on West 51st Street, near Rockefeller
Center. Able crews worked at night to minimize disrup-
tion to businesses. The crew used a Liebherr LTM 1250
and a Terex RT 335 to complete the 11-hour job.
The second crane, at Washington Street, was a Lieb-
herr 540 HC-L 131 erected to maximum height, plus a
700-foot external climber, with six external building tie-
ins erected to 38, 20-foot sections. A Liebherr LTM 1250
and Link-Belt RTC 8040 were used in the demobiliza-
tion of the crane. The job took 16.5 hours while crews
worked in a very restricted space that only allowed the
use of half outriggers on both sides of the crane.
The third crane was located at West 45th Street. It
was a freestanding Favco 220 luffi ng tower crane with
a 105-foot boom. It was erected in 35 sections to 455
feet. The external climbing unit was tied in at four loca-
tions. It took 12.5 hours to take the crane down and
three days to remove all tie-ins and sections using a
Liebherr LTM 1250 and a Link-Belt RTC 8040.

While there are numerous tower crane
experts and specialists across North Amer-
ica, Crane Hot Line asked two tower crane
providers their opinions on some of these
issues. Mike Smith is the safety director for
Crane Rental Corp., Orlando Fla. The com-
pany owns about 10 tower cranes, mostly
Terex-Peiner models. It also provides tower
crane operator practical testing for the Na-
tional Commission for the Certification of
Crane Operators.
Peter Juhren is the corporate service man-
ager for Morrow Equipment, Salem, Ore.
The company specializes in tower crane
rental and offers erection, dismantling, ser-
vice, and maintenance. Its rental fleet consists
of more than 600 Liebherr tower cranes. Last
year, Morrow expanded its training facility to
nearly 10,000 square feet, which includes new
classrooms, component labs, a multipurpose
conference room, and a large outdoor con-
crete pad designated for testing and safety
programs. Morrow offers training programs
for equipment operators, service technicians,
safety personnel, and site management, as
well as specific courses for regulatory agency
personnel and equipment inspectors.
When contractors hire a company to as-semble or disassemble a tower crane, what skills and qualifications should they look for?
Peter Juhren: They should make sure the
company has experience erecting and dis-
mantling tower cranes. The company hired
should have trained and qualified personnel,
the proper tools and rigging, and be familiar
with the proper sizing and positioning of
the mobile crane used for the operation.
Pre-operational meetings are essential to
ensure all parties involved understand the
scope of the work, possible hazards, and
details of the operation.
What are the most important aspects to correctly assembling a tower crane?
Peter Juhren: Following the manufactur-
er’s instructions to the letter, unless alternate
procedures have been developed in advance
by a qualified person, and using trained and
qualified personnel.
Mike Smith: And, using proper rigging.
What are typical challenges faced during disassembly?
Peter Juhren: Pre-planning the dismantle
before the crane is erected is crucial to ensur-
ing that it can be dismantled safely, especially
with regard to the positioning of the disman-
Wagstaff Crane Service, Salt Lake City, Utah,
doesn’t own tower cranes and doesn’t do tower
crane erections. But because it owns two 550-ton
Grove GMK7550 all-terrain cranes and Mega-Wing
attachment, it is often called on to dismantle
tower cranes. This spring, two jobs in the Rocky
Mountains demonstrated how important the right
equipment is in taking down a tower crane.
The fi rst job took place at a hotel construction
project in Vail, Colo. When the last of three tower
cranes was to be removed, the general contrac-
tor was up against a time crunch with Presidents
Day weekend approaching. According to Ronnie
Wagstaff, lift planner for Wagstaff Crane Service,
they had only two days to get in, get the tower
crane down, and get out, but they managed to do
it in a day and a half.
The dismantling crane was set up in a tight
space on one lane of road, while the other lane
remained open. Even after the tower crane was
removed, “The general contractor still had a few
lifts to make with the GMK7550, and the crane
had to be off the road by 6:30 p.m. Thursday
night before the holiday weekend,” said Wagstaff.
The heaviest lift was made at 150-foot radius,
picking 30,000 pounds to a height of 220 feet.
The second job in Deer Valley, Utah, was also at a ski resort. In this case, late season snowstorms kept
pushing the project back. The other challenge was the wind, as the site was at a high elevation.
To dismantle this tower crane the Grove AT was confi gured with a 200-foot luffi ng jib and 130 feet
of main boom. Wagstaff also utilized 352,000 pounds of counterweight and the Mega-Wing attachment.
Some of the lifts were made at a radius of 165 feet while picking 32,000 pounds at 265 feet in the air.
In both cases, Wagstaff Crane was selected to do the work because the GMK7550 was big enough to
get the job done, plus Wagstaff has experience completing cost-effi cient tower dismantles. “The GMK7550
gives us options for confi gurations, offering lots of fl exibility,” said Wagstaff. Likewise, the Mega-Wing
attachment, which Wagstaff recently took delivery of, is well-suited for tower crane and wind turbine
work. The advantage of this crane is its ability to setup with minimal jobsite preparation and few
truckloads of counterweight and jib. “Our crane can be fully rigged with luffi ng jib, Mega-Wing, and full
counterweight with as few as 10 to 12 truckloads, taking us no more than 8 to 10 hours to set up,” said
Wagsaff. For the Vail job, only seven trucks were needed, allowing the rental company to competitively
price the mobilization.
Wagstaff’s Grove GMK7550 with Mega-Wing attach-ment was big enough to take down tower cranes in Vail, Colo., (shown) and Deer Valley, Utah.
tling crane being used. This includes being
aware of what obstructions will exist after the
structure is built and the crane is erected.
Regarding inspections, does your company use third-party inspectors, and if so, how do you establish their qualifications? I’ve heard some tower crane rental companies make the argument that no one knows their cranes better than they do, so they prefer to not use a third-party inspector. What would you say to that?
Peter Juhren: Morrow does not use third-
party inspectors except for specific structural
testing. Currently there are no qualification
requirements for third-party crane inspectors
except in California and Washington where
the inspectors are licensed by the states.
Morrow, as the manufacturer’s exclusive dis-
tributor, has invested extensively in training,
including factory training, of all of our service
support personnel.
I would agree in our case, and perhaps
a few other companies as well, that no one
else is as qualified or has the appropriate
knowledge specific to tower cranes than
Morrow does. I would also take the po-
sition that most rental companies do not
have the same level of technical knowledge
and may not be able to do this. The main
issue is not just qualifications but that of
“conflict of interest.”
Mike Smith: We use only third-party
inspection companies. However, for in-
house purposes we also provide our own
employee to be present during the tower

crane inspection to ensure that the job is
performed accurately. That said, we stand
behind our third-party inspectors 100 per-
cent. We try to use the same inspectors as
often as possible, who typically are on site
inspecting the components as they are un-
loaded and hoisted into place as the crane
is erected.
We’ve also seen a trend that contractors are
more frequently hiring their own third-party
inspector to oversee the arrival, assembly,
and testing of the crane. Using a third-party
inspector provides extra reassurance.
Legislation has changed considerably over the last couple of years as it relates to tower crane operations in some major cities and states. How has your company adjusted? Mike Smith: Because of the region we
serve, primarily the South, we have not been
directly impacted. However, we have noticed
greater involvement from our customers and
a greater interest from the public as a crane is
being erected.
Peter Juhren: Morrow has invested heavily
in training all of our personnel in the recent
changes to many state and city codes. We
opened our new training facility last June and
immediately started training our own per-
sonnel on electrical exposure, fall protection,
and the changes in codes and regulations that
affect our industry. Morrow can adapt to
these changes as long as they are achievable.
New York City is still re-writing their codes,
and some really do not enhance safety and
may not even realistically be doable. Despite
the down market, we are taking a proactive
approach to grasp the regulatory changes
and also ramp up our personnel, so when the
market returns, we are ready.
What are some issues currently facing the tower crane industry (such as a call for tower crane registries) and how do you view their impact? Peter Juhren: Most states could use Wash-
ington State’s legislation as a template for a
model crane program. It addresses most of
the issues regarding inspections, certifica-
tion, and testing, and it is meaningful. While
the regulations were a result of a 2006 tower
crane collapse in Belleview, Wash., the state
took the time to get it right by meeting with
the industry and forming work groups to de-
velop the legislation.
I’m not sure how a tower crane registry
could work on a national basis, but it could
be beneficial. However, it needs to address
the modular system of tower cranes where
only key components such as the turntable,
hoist machinery, and basic configuration of
the crane really stay together. It would be
impossible to track every single component.

TOWER CRANES
Several manufacturers introduced new tower cranes at the Bauma exhibition held in April in Munich, Germany.
Terex Cranes exhibited its fi rst luff-
ing jib tower crane offering one-fall
operation. Designed for jobs on urban
sites, power plants, or high-rise build-
ings, the CTL 440-24 is equipped with
a hoist winch that allows both one- and
two-fall operation. Crane speed and
height can be adapted to meet job and
load requirements. The tower crane has
a maximum capacity of 26.5 tons and a
maximum jib length of 196.9 feet. Maxi-
mum capacity at the jib tip is 5.7 tons.
A key optional feature is an anti-col-
lision system equipped with two cameras
and a display that allows the operator to
zoom in and out of the lifting area and luffi ng/hoisting winch areas.
Standard features include emergency brakes on hoisting and luffi ng winch
drums; folding platform and handrails; and walkways along the jib. The folding
A-frame transports in one piece; the slewing ring is equipped with an auto-
matic lubrication system; and a third auxiliary hoist on the counterjib can be
used as a service derrick during assembly.
www.terex.com
The LCL 190 is the newest luffer tower crane from Linden Comansa. It
comes in two versions—13.2 or 19.8 tons maximum load, and a jib length
from 98.4 to 196.9 feet. The standard version has a freestanding height of
162.4 feet. Using light components, the crane is designed to be fast to erect.
The hoist mechanism is on the front un-
der the jib instead of on the counterjib.
The luffi ng mechanism and electric cup-
board are on the counterjib. This con-
fi guration reduces installation weights;
reduces the slewing radius of the coun-
terjib; increases free space for service
of the main mechanisms; and improves
kinematics of the hoisting cable, making
it more direct with fewer cable pulleys. In
addition, hoisting and luffi ng cables are
preinstalled at the factory.
From a performance standpoint, a new
hydraulic push and retention system fea-
tures smooth movement without sudden
stops. This is accomplished with a progressive force application on the jib
in relation to the luffed-in radius. Other benefi ts of this system are hydraulic
pressure controls and travel controls of the luffi ng movement, as well as an
anti loosening system for the luffi ng cable tension.
Most jib and mast sections of this crane will be interchangeable with other
luffi ng and fl at-top tower cranes from Linden Comansa.
www.comansa.com
Manitowoc launched High Performance Lifting winches for its Potain tower
cranes, which are designed for ultra-high-speed lifting, even when working in
a higher number of rope falls. The HPL Technology winches use a double-wind-
ing motor controlled via a frequency converter. The technology is patented and
exclusive to Potain cranes.
The 75 HPL 30 can reach speeds up to 738 fpm when working with two
lines of rope. The winch is the fi rst in
its class to break the 200 m/min (656
fpm) barrier. It has a power rating of
75 hp and lifts 3 tons per rope line. The
75 HPL 30 will replace Potain’s exist-
ing 75 LVF 30 Optima, which reaches
a maximum speed of 380 fpm, only
about 50 percent of the speed of the
new winch. Other winches will roll out
in the coming months. Most will be 56
kW, but others will be offered in the
100-hp and 50-hp classes.
Manitowoc has also redesigned the
cab for its Potain tower cranes. A key
design change is the relocation of the electrical control panel to a dedicated
space outside and behind the cab. This frees up space inside for a small table,
storage, and three plugs with 220-V or 110-V power options. It also reduces
interior noise from electrical contactors and frequency converters.
A large glass expanse, sliding side windows, a side sunblind, and lateral
wipers all give the operator optimum vision over the job site.
Helping to cut fl eet management costs, there is only one version of the cab
for all Potain cranes and a new paint process better protects the cab from cor-
rosion. Screw-in ears at ground level aid sling attachment when the cab needs
to be lifted into place. On other Potain models, such as MDT topless cranes, the
Ultra View cab is pre-built in larger sections, which are lifted as one piece.
The Ultra View cab is now on all new top-slewing tower cranes from the
company’s European factories and also for the new Igo T 130 self-erecting
crane. It will gradually be implemented across the product line beginning in
May and will eventually replace the Vision cab.
www.manitowoc.com
Liebherr showed its 280 HC-L 12/24 Litronic luffi ng jib tower crane, which
bridges the gap between the 180 HC-L and the 355 HC-L. It is available in
three versions with maximum lifting capacities of 17.6, 26.4, and 30.8 tons.
This crane was designed with operations at great heights and in space re-
stricted sites in mind. The result is a tight slewing radius of only 24.6 feet.
As an alternative to the standard 355 HC tower system, the 280 HC-L takes
advantage of the 355 IC climbing tower system, which can be used for internal
climbing or climbing on the outside of a building. With the extremely compact
tower cross-section of 6.2' x 6.2', the 355 IC can also climb to the heights in
narrow lift shafts. For very high free-standing crane heights of over 246 feet,
the 280HC-L 12/24 Litronic can also be mounted on the 500 HC tower sys-
tem. With all the tower systems available, the new luffi ng jib crane can attain
unique free-standing tower heights of up to 251 feet.
A programmable logic control system moves the load on a horizontal load
path similar to a top-slewing crane with trolley jib. Jib movements are au-
tomatically regulated by the hoist gear
control so that the load hook travels on a
horizontal path, an advantage with assem-
bly and concrete work. It can be optionally
equipped with the company’s newly devel-
oped LIDAT telematics system to improve
fl eet management, operational planning,
and remote monitoring.
Thanks to easy re-reeving of the load
hook from one line to two lines, rapid ad-
justment to different loads with optimum
hoist speed is guaranteed. High empty
hook speeds further increase the economy
of the crane.

By Lucy A. Perry
Aweak economy and government
mandates are forcing crane owners
and fleet managers to make tough
decisions about aging machines.
These days, many companies don’t have the
luxury of letting even ancient machines go for
pennies on the dollar on the used equipment
market. Luckily, there are alternatives that
not only meet green standards, but lengthen
the life of a major capital investment.
According to an Associated Equipment
Distributors survey, equipment purchasers
and managers are taking a different direc-
tion in fleet management. Reported in the
February 2010 issue of Construction Equip-
ment magazine, the AED survey results
found that fleet managers are focusing on
controlling costs, emphasizing equipment
utilization—and they are not purchasing
new equipment. But that’s not necessarily
a bad thing.
“We have options now,” says Robert Weiss,
vice president of Cranes Inc., Maspeth, N.Y.
“Normally we would have sold [an older
crane] and bought new. In this turbulent
economy, however, we are faced with a trou-
bling problem. While it’s often prohibitively
expensive to run older cranes, you can’t
justify buying new and getting nothing for
[an old one] on the market. Programs to
extend the service life of older equipment
offer crane owners a good solution.”
Many crane owners are also opting to
install special particulate filters or even
repower engines in order to meet federal
and state emissions mandates, or as part of
overall green initiatives. Some say once the
economy picks up, the feds will be hot on
the trail of engine emissions infractions. Re-
powering is a solution that does more than
just clean the air for others. It can add years
to the life of a crane.

A New Direction inFleet Management
Repowered RTs owned by Cranes Inc. are now on a year-long rental in New York City. Programs to extend the service life of older equipment offer crane owners a good solution in a tough economy.

ENGINE REPOWERS
A position of power Cranes Inc. had six Link-Belt RTC-8040
Series IIs and two RTC-8030 Series IIs that
were approaching 10 years of service. When
shop mechanics came up with a list of 12
items that needed to be addressed, including
new computers, electric swivels, heaters, and
body work, a decision was made to turn the
cranes over to Wheco Corp., a turnkey crane
accident repair and restoration company, for
a Service Life Extension Project (SLEP). The
company is based in Richland, Wash., and
has five additional service centers.
The cranes were shipped to Wheco’s Ai-
ken, S.C., facility, and repowering was done
in the process. Weiss says the decision to in-
stall like-new Cummins engines has actually
landed his company a long-term contract.
“We had gotten a couple of jobs here in
New York that came with more stringent air
laws,” he explains, adding that on certain ma-
jor state projects, Tier 3 engines are required.
“We had already contracted with Wheco for
the SLEPs when we got a deal to rent out two
[RTs] for a long-term project, but they had to
be Tier 3s. We have Groves that are Tier 3s,
but they were all out [on jobs]. For the first
two cranes Wheco worked on, we had them
put new Cummins engines in, and they are
now on a year-long rental.”
Weiss says Cranes Inc. automatically
reaped the benefits from the engine repower.
“After taking these older cranes and doing the
SLEP and adding a Tier 3 engine, we really
have a valuable tool. From what I’m hearing
from customers they’re fantastic, they’re run-
ning like new, and look new,” he says of the
RTs. “Without that combination, we wouldn’t
have had a year-long rental and been able
to provide what the customer thought was a
brand new crane.”
Cranes Inc.’s all-terrain crane fleet is com-
prised of late-model Liebherrs, the majority
of which already have Tier 3 engines. Weiss
says having those newer engines actually
opens doors for his company. “For the most
part, we’ve found having a Tier 3 engine will
allow you to work more places.” Repowering
the Link-Belt RTs was a smart investment,
Weiss says, because “today’s rental rates don’t
justify a new purchase, and selling them [at
10 years] would almost yield nothing. You
have to figure out how to be creative, and this
keeps [the RTs] in the fleet and gets more life
out of them at a reasonable cost.”

Cummins Unveils Next-Gen Engines and Website
At Bauma this year, Cummins Inc., Columbus, Ind., unveiled its latest-generation four-cylinder
QSB3.3 and QSB4.5 engines; the new QSX11.9 and QSX15 heavy-duty engine duo; and a Tier 4 web-
site for equipment users. Offering a simplifi ed Tier 4 installation across a broad 75- to 160-hp power
range, with an air-intake-to-exhaust aftertreatment system specifi cally designed for fl exible machine
integration, the 3.3-liter and 4.5-liter QSB engines may help compact equipment-buyers more easily
meet low-emissions regulations in 2012.
The four-cylinder QSB engines operate as integrated Tier 4 emissions systems with Cummins
Compact Catalyst exhaust aftertreatment. Introduced for EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB off-
highway applications, the catalyst removes particulate matter (PM) by simple, fl ow-through passive
oxidation, according to the manufacturer. Smaller than other types of aftertreatment, the catalyst
can be installed in space-constrained equipment mounted separately from the exhaust muffl er or as
part of a combined catalyst-and-muffl er unit. With no impact on equipment operation, the catalyst
offers a maintenance-free “fi t-and-forget” solution, suited for the rental-equipment market.
The new QSX11.9 and QSX15 heavy-duty engine duo, designed for the off-highway industry
in the 300- to 600-hp range, features the Cummins Xtra-High Pressure Injection (XPI) fuel sys-
tem and a variable geometry turbocharger. The 11.9- and 15-liter engines are supplied as fully
integrated air-intake-to-exhaust aftertreatment systems to meet 2011 EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU
Stage IIIB regulations. The engines use a Cummins particulate fi lter to reduce PM emissions by
over 90 percent, according to the manufacturer, and incorporate an EGR system to reduce oxides
of nitrogen emissions by 45 percent.
Cummins has also launched a Tier 4 website to provide equipment users with an early insight
into the performance and operation of fi eld test installations ahead of the January 2011 effect
date for EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB low emissions engines above 173-hp. Located at
www.tier4.info, the website content is based on more than 40,000 hours of accumulated experi-
ence in Tier 4 powered equipment on customer fi eld tests and evaluation tests by equipment
manufacturers, according to Cummins.

lations, which begin January 1, 2011 for 174-hp and above engines, require a 90-percent reduction
in diesel particulate matter (PM) and a 50-percent reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) from previous
Tier 3/Stage IIIA requirements. The Interim Tier 4/Stage IIIB regulation effective date for 75-hp to
174-hp engines is January 1, 2012.
For engines 75-hp and above, JDPS offers the PowerTech Plus Tier 3/Stage IIIA in-line, four- and
six-cylinder engine platform, which includes cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for NOx control,
and adds an exhaust fi lter for reducing PM. These engines feature full-authority electronic controls,
a four-valve cylinder head, a high-pressure fuel system, turbocharging, and an air-to-air aftercooling
system. Engines between 75-hp and 173-hp are available in 4.5- and 6.8-liter displacements and
equipped with either a waste gate, or variable geometry turbocharger, depending upon the size of
the engine.
Compared to JDPS’s larger engines, models between 75-hp and 173-hp will feature smaller exhaust
fi lters that can be engine-mounted or remote-mounted for increased fl exibility. Engines in this power
range will use an in-cylinder dosing system, while JDPS’ 174-hp and above engines use an external
dosing system. Engine models 174-hp and above include the 6.8-, 9.0- and 13.5-liter displacements.
Engines below 75-hp, which include the PowerTech E 2.4L and M 2.4L and 4.5L engines, meet
Interim Tier 4 and Stage IIIA emissions regulations without the use of cooled EGR or an exhaust
fi lter. PowerTech M 2.4L and 4.5L engines feature a two-valve cylinder head, a fi xed-geometry
turbocharger, mechanical unit pump fuel system (2.4L) and mechanical rotary fuel system (4.5L).
PowerTech E 2.4L engines feature a similar two-valve cylinder head and a fi xed geometry turbo-
charger, but add full-authority electronic engine controls, an electronic unit pump fuel system, and
are air-to-air-aftercooled.

ENGINE NEWS Ralf Vieten, vice president of operations for
Wheco, agrees. “There’s the flexibility now,
of getting this crane into places it couldn’t go
anymore,” he says of the Cranes Inc. repow-
ered machines. “Now it cannot be rejected,
its emissions levels are fine, it meets local
laws, and complies with almost any stan-
dards.” That can only be said of new cranes
today, continues Vieten, who also points out
that in a couple of years, that new crane may
not be compliant anymore.
Cummins dealer Cummins Atlantic Inc.,
Columbia, S.C., provided the engines, and,
working with Wheco, actually repowered the
first crane in the project. Wheco performed
all of the SLEPs, including the repower on
the second RTC 8040 of the Cranes Inc.,
machines. Rusty Ulmer of Cummins Atlan-
tic says construction equipment owners in
general are running their machines longer.
“People have increased the length of service
of a machine,” he says. “Typically you would
run a truck for five years or 500,000 miles,
where now they’re running for seven years
or 700,000 miles. We’re seeing more main-
tenance because they’re going to mileages
we haven’t seen before. It has a lot to do
with the economy.”
Weiss says other crane owners should
crunch the numbers for themselves while
work is slow and cranes are idle. “I think this
is something more people should consider at
the 10-year mark,” he says. “If you don’t have
the money to replace a crane, this is a good
thing to do. Hopefully by the time they’re
ready to be retired, the economy is better and
there’s trade-in value for them. It’s a good way
to get through this slow period.”
Ulmer, too, suggests crane owners do the
math. “A $500,000 piece of equipment or a
$25,000 engine…you can justify a new engine
a lot easier than you can a whole crane,” he
says. Many crane owners hesitate to invest in
a repower project, Ulmer says, simply because
they just haven’t investigated the possibilities.
“When Wheco called me about repowering
these cranes, they said [Weiss had] talked to
half a dozen people who’d told him to just
replace the crane. Nobody told him to replace
the engine. And it’s not a really complicated
job to do.”
Other crane owners avoid powering up
because they’re fearful of going from a me-
chanical engine to electronic technology.
“Once they get electronics in and see the ca-
pability of the engine and the things they can
do from both an operator and management

standpoint,” they get over their trepidation,
Ulmer says. “They’re getting a cleaner-burn-
ing, more efficient engine in the electronics.
And they can tie into the machine through
computers and monitor the engine for fuel
consumption, service hours, work load, or
service intervals.”
For instance, Ulmer says that typically on
a turbocharged engine, which most diesels
are, at the end of the workday, the machine
should idle for three to five minutes before
the operator shuts it down. “A lot of op-
erators will go do something else and come
back to the machine much later,” he says.
“With an electronic engine, you can pro-
gram it to automatically shut down after,
say, five to seven minutes.”
A screening machine To run RTs on jobs in the Big Apple, Cranes
Inc. is also required to have diesel particulate
filters, or DPFs, on their cranes. The add-on
component, similar to a catalytic converter,
filters out diesel particles. “Even though you
put a Tier 3 engine in a crane, New York
City says the Tier 3 is not clean enough,” says
Weiss. “You have to add a DPF on top of that
to filter the reduced diesel emissions from the
Tier 3. From what I understand, it’s a growing
situation nationwide.”
And that, says Vieten, creates frustration
among crane owners, especially where rent-
als are concerned, because every state has dif-
ferent regulations. “That’s what makes it very
difficult for a crane owner to rent outside of
the state he’s in,” he says. “In New York, he
has to know the standards for Massachusetts,
New Jersey, wherever his business takes him.
In California, crane companies have to know
what’s expected in Arizona, Washington, and
Oregon and vice versa.”
Since Bigge Crane and Rigging, San Le-
andro, Calif., can’t beat their state’s strict air
emissions standards, it decided in January to
join the bandwagon and create another ser-
vice offering. The company became an ac-
tive Cleaire retrofit emissions filter dealer and
certified Cleaire filter installer for all on-road
and off-road cranes. Sales and installations
will be offered at every Bigge service facility
in California, and a field service fleet of certi-
fied technicians will install and service filters
anywhere in the United States.
“We run a very diverse fleet,” explains Dar-
en Griffin, service manager, Bigge Corporate,
who says the company has invested a lot of
time in understanding how to comply with
the CARB regs. “We were in a unique posi-
tion to help other companies,” he says. “We
felt Cleaire [also in San Leandro] offered the
best product on the market, and that’s how
we started partnering on their filters.”
Griffin says putting a new filter on an RT,
truck crane, or crawler buys the owner an
extra three to four years on the life of the
crane. “Because Cleaire offers a wide variety
of filters for cranes, we can offer something
to everyone,” Griffin says. The installation
process usually takes about three days, on
most cranes. Depending on the size of the
fleet, California has set a timetable in which
crane owners will have to comply with the
new diesel engine Tier 3 and later Tier 4
requirements. At press time there had been
no immediate need for crane owners to have
them installed because CARB enforcement
was on hold.
“They were anticipating the deadline for
large fleets to be March 1st, 2010,” says Grif-
fin. “While the deadline remains unclear, ev-
erybody thinks it’ll be based on the economy.
When the economy rebounds, we can look
for it to gain traction again.”

Terex Cranes has made a commitment to propel its boom
truck business to the industry forefront. To start, the compa-
ny has responded to feedback from customers by designing
a new line of boom trucks. Terex created new positions in
global sales and marketing, and just last month showed off the new
face of the boom truck line at its Waverly, Iowa, factory.
“Terex has made a very conscious decision to move the boom
truck line toward a leadership role in the industry,” explains John
Tudor, product manager for the Westport, Conn.-based company.
To infuse new blood into this division, the company created two
new positions: Dave Stevenson has been named vice president of
global boom truck operations, and Dave Kuhlman is the new direc-
tor of sales for boom trucks.
“Senior management has made a commitment for both manpow-
er and resources” to get back into the boom-truck market, explains
Kuhlman. “We’re looking at product improvement to our existing
line and new products. And we’ll be moving very fast,” he says.
Stevenson says, “When we closed the Terex RO line, in Olathe, Kan.,
and moved it into Waverly, we lost a little focus.” He adds that Terex
views this as a viable product line with future growth opportunities.
Reinventing a popular model Terex publicly introduced the BT3870T last fall at the Interna-
tional Construction and Utility Equipment Expo (ICUEE). Th e
19-ton crane, featuring a 70-foot fully proportional telescopic keel
boom, replaces the BT3470, an older, highly successful design.
Th e BT3870T is being positioned as a transitional machine for the
company as it makes the move to an all-new series called the Su-
per Stinger. Th e fi rst model in the series is the BT26106, which was
introduced last month to customers at an event held at the Waverly,
Iowa, factory.
Of the BT3870T, Kuhlman says the new design started in 2007,
and a silent introduction was made in June 2008, but the machine
made its offi cial debut at ICUEE. During the redesign process, Ter-
ex consulted with its top boom-truck distributors. “Th e BT3870’s
predecessor was a very popular machine with many applications,”
explains Kuhlman. “We went to our distributors and their key cus-
tomers for new ideas to reformulate this model.”
Th e crane has a patented keel boom design to optimize the boom’s
strength and rigidity-to-height ratio. Th e maximum 80-foot tip

26 CRANE HOT LINE JUNE 2010 • cranehotline.com
While the construction industry has adopted the “bigger
is better” philosophy, mini-cranes are fi nding favor on
jobsites because of their small stature and maneuver-
ability. Inman Texas Co., a Houston, Texas-based crane
specialist, supplied a Maeda MC-405C mini-crane to specialty con-
tractor Milestone Metals for an offi ce building under construction in
Houston. Milestone Metals specializes in the erection of ornamental
metal and is now one of the foremost miscellaneous metal contractors
in the Houston metro. Th e company has worked on projects ranging
from small art installations to large-scale construction projects, such
as the current Discovery Tower project.
Houston-based Milestone Metals has stepped in with the Inman-
supplied mini-crane to complete some of the specialty steel work on
the roof of the Discovery Tower, a 30-story, 872,000-square-foot offi ce
building slated for occupancy in the second quarter of 2010. Th e mini
machine hit the job in October to erect turbine steel at the top of the
tower for a three-story steel structure to house turbines that will pro-
vide electricity for the building.
Lifted to the roof by a tower crane, the 12,400-pound Maeda then
traveled on its rubber tracks and set up in the confi ned rooftop spaces
for the job. Its duties include lifting beams and other materials while
erecting structures on the roof. On the job with the tower crane, the
mini-crane allows Milestone to complete lifts and set steel without
having to wait for the tower crane, which saves both idle time and man
hours to complete its part of the project.
“By having the Maeda, we’re able to have more crews installing steel,”
says Bob Macey, vice president of Milestone Metals. “We have one
crew that’s using a tower crane, and the Maeda mini-crane can come
in and start doing the infi ll pieces, which speeds up the productivity.”
With a maximum capacity of 8,480 pounds, the machine has lifted
most of the smaller 2,000- to 3,000-pound loads, while the larger tower
crane takes care of the 3,000- to 8,000-pound lifts. Th e mini-crane—
which has a maximum boom length of 54 feet and 360° swing—can
get into tight, crowded jobsites. Th e maneuverability of the mini-crane
has been an asset to Milestone Metals. “It’s been real easy for us to
move around the rooftop,” says Macey. “You get into places that you
can’t with the larger crane.”
Th e working environment, with lots of activity and confi ned spaces,
makes the Maeda mini-crane benefi cial for jobs like the Discovery
Tower, according to John Carpenter, in crane sales for Inman Texas
Co. It’s all about eff ective use of time, assets, equipment, and most im-
portantly, erecting the steel safely and effi ciently. “It’s got all the same
safety features that a big crane does, just in a mini package,” Carpenter
says. “Plus the Maeda models are all ASME B30.5 compliant, as re-
quired by OSHA, and have EPA-compliant engines.”
Th e Maeda mini-crane puts Milestone Metals’ operator in di-
rect line of sight with the crew so he does not have to operate in
the blind by radio. Th e operator can then place the steel precisely
using the mini-crane and hold it while it is bolted or welded to
the structure. “Th eir operator’s in direct view with their riggers
and steel workers that are actually bolting or welding the piec-
es together, so it’s a lot safer for them,” says Carpenter.
With two speeds for travel, the crane has an electric motor option, so
it also can be used for indoor applications. Adding to its convenience,
the crane can be easily transported on a small trailer. At the end of
the project, it will be confi gured in a stowed position and lowered to
the ground by the tower crane. At press time, the Maeda machine had
been on the job for two months, and Macey planned to keep it on the
job for another month.
Inman Texas Co. makes sure renters of mini-cranes receive adequate
familiarization at their facility before cranes go on the job. “Even if the
guy has tons of experience on big cranes, little cranes, tower cranes,
whatever—we like to bring them over here, and they can operate the
machine here in our yard, do lifts, familiarize themselves with the ma-
chine,” Carpenter says.
Inman has off ered Maeda’s mini-cranes since their debut at Con-
Expo 2008. Th e company currently has three in its fl eet and is focused
on getting them on jobsites. Carpenter says that the industry is still
getting to know the mini machines. While the minis are big in Eu-
rope and Asia, “a lot of people in the United States have never seen
a mini-crane,” says Carpenter. But that may be changing as Maeda
mini-cranes tackle Texas-sized jobs.

height can be increased to 120 feet when equipped with an optional
two-stage 24- to 40-foot jib. Th e standard work area is 180° or 370°
with an optional front bumper outrigger. A three-section pump al-
lows the operator to perform simultaneous crane operations, such
as winch, boom, and swing. Outriggers are controlled independent-
ly. Link-type front outriggers extend to 21'6", while rear outriggers
are A-frame style.
Two-speed winch opera-
tion, combined with fully pro-
portional controls, off er precise
movement of all functions. Th e
LMI system has an audio alarm
and functional shut down if an
overload occurs.
Since last fall, the factory
has steadily made deliveries,
primarily to large rental fl eet
owners. “It’s also a perfect in-
troductory machine for the
owner/operator that wants to
get into the crane rental business, or the light commercial/residen-
tial builder that has lift applications for building, and general con-
tractors as well,” says Stevenson.
Stop-gap measures “Th e BT3870 is a fi rst initiative to show what we could accomplish
in designing a new product. A lot of the features of the 3870 will be
adapted to new products as we move forward,” says Kuhlman. For
example, the new Super Stinger Series emphasizes lighter-weight
and higher-strength materials, which is a marked departure from
past designs. “We wanted to modernize the product by reducing
manufacturing costs and lightening up the design for improved pay-
load capacity,” Kuhlman explains.
As the Waverly, Iowa, facility has undergone upgrades and im-
provements to its manufacturing processes, those new capabilities
enabled greater effi ciencies to be incorporated into the BT3870’s
design and the new Super Stinger crane designs, he says. Th e next
step is for the company to fi ll the gaps in the product line. Th e fi rst
Terex crane in the all-new series, the BT26106 is a 26-ton machine
with a 106-foot boom. It takes advantage of the new concepts Ter-
ex has utilized to improve the product and streamline the manu-
facturing operations.
“Th e BT26106 was designed to fi ll a gap in our product line,”
Kuhlman explains. “We had a huge gap between our BT 4792, our
old reliable 23-ton, and our 35-ton 70100. Th e BT26106 improves
our off ering in this class. And we’ve done it with a longer boom
than anyone else in the class.” Th e new model also marks a depar-
ture from the company’s historical model nomenclature to one that
makes more sense to the customer, he says. Th e 26 represents ton-
nage, and the 106 identifi es the boom length.
Asked whether the company will break into the 50-ton class, Kuhl-
man says they’re batting around many ideas, and a 50-ton machine
is just one of them. “We have a lot of things right now that we’re
researching,” he says. “A lot of them will be fi ll-in-the-gap machines,
but we’re also looking at where the market is headed and the limits
[of using a] commercial truck chassis on that size of machine.”
Meanwhile, as Terex moves to add models to its product line,
Stevenson says that last month’s visitors to the Waverly factory ob-
served the manufacturer’s transformation to a lean operation. Th e
result will be new models produced effi ciently, with high quality and
at a reduced cost. “Th is is will give us a product that will compete
with anybody,” he says.

Terex’s BT3870T, officially unveiled last fall at ICUEE, is a 19-ton boom truck that marks the company’s transition to a totally new higher-strength, lighter-weight design being introduced in the Super Stinger Series.
< Continued from page 22
“Terex has made a conscious decision to move the boom truck line toward a leadership role, and the new Super Stinger Series is a marked departure from past designs.”

A Partnership to Help Equipment Owners Manage Risk
Spotlight: Products & Services
SmartEquip, Norwalk, Conn., and the National Equipment Reg-
ister (NER), Jersey City, N.J., have formed a strategic alliance to
help construction equipment owners and manufacturers bet-
ter manage liability and risks, such as theft, safety, and regula-
tory compliance associated with equipment ownership. SmartEquip
is a supplier of software products serving manufacturers, dealers, and
fl eet owners, while NER, an ISO company, helps equipment owners
and their insurers deter theft.
David Shillingford, president of NER, describes it as an alliance be-
tween two information management companies to allow the integra-
tion of data management resources and expertise to better help com-
panies manage their critical assets. “NER can
deliver its services more effi ciently to fl eets
that are SmartEquip members,” says Shilling-
ford, in announcing the partnership,
“and SmartEquip can benefi t from
NER’s expertise and data to enhance
existing services.”
Deep service histories Since 2001, NER has been de-
veloping comprehensive databases
of equipment ownership, theft re-
ports, and machine identifi cation
characteristics. Its services have assisted
law enforcement in recovering millions
of dollars of heavy equipment through
HELPtech, a national equipment markings and registration pro-
gram, and greatly increased the risk of arrest for equipment thieves.
Buyers of used equipment can request searches of the NER database
through IRONcheck, a machine-history search. NER’s data manage-
ment and equipment expertise are also used by fl eets to support com-
pliance with new regulations.
In addition, after several years of conducting monthly regional sum-
mits, last fall, NER hosted its inaugural National Equipment Security
Roundtable. Executives from the rental, construction, and insurance
industries joined law enforcement offi cers in guided discussions,
which concluded with action points from each roundtable.
SmartEquip is a supplier of software products serving manufactur-
ers, dealers, and fl eet owners in the construction, industrial equip-
ment, and power tools industries. Th ose products help users reduce
cost, increase effi ciency, and improve customer loyalty. Th e software
provides solutions for parts, service, and product support.
For instance, the company’s e-FleetPro is an electronic product
support system integrated directly into the business system of the fl eet
owner and the manufacturer, delivering serial-number specifi c parts
catalogs and support information to service personnel. Th e system
automates parts distribution while streamlining customer service,
eliminates ordering errors, and contributes to higher fl eet utilization
and revenue.
A common goal “Both companies have several large clients that provide each of us
with similar details about their equipment fl eets,” says Shillingford
when asked what prompted the formation of the alliance. “Due to this
commonality, the NER-SmartEquip relationship allows us to stream-
line the fl ow of data between all parties, enhance existing services, and
reduce costs. We are now meeting with large rental fl eet providers to
see how our alliance can better address some of their most signifi cant
business challenges.”
Th e fact that the alliance benefi ts the construction equipment
industry as a whole is obvious. “In general terms, the industry can
benefi t from less theft, better safety, and
simpler compliance,” says Shillingford. “As
lift and access machinery comes un-
der more regulations, the alliance
can be of particular benefi t to
the crane sector.”
With this partnered system, a
fl eet manager can better track and
manage fl eet data and associated liabilities
and risks by improving data accuracy and
the speed of data fl ow, Shillingford explains.
Other services gained from the partnership
can help improve safety and compliance with emerging
regulations such as those associated with air quality.
Th e alliance will be structured so that both companies
continue to operate under their own brands. Input from
customers is and will continue to be a key component of the
program design as new combined services are developed. “It was, in
fact, one of the more progressive rental companies that originally in-
troduced SmartEquip and NER,” says Shillingford.
Both companies reiterate the partnership will benefi t equipment
owners and manufacturers by helping them better manage liabil-
ity and risks such as theft, safety, and regulatory compliance. “We
know the SmartEquip team and its technology well,” says Shilling-
ford. “We see how manufacturers and fl eets are increasingly be-
coming part of the SmartEquip Network to generate signifi cant ef-
fi ciencies. SmartEquip provides an excellent platform to help fl eets
better manage a wide array of risks, further reducing the cost of
equipment ownership.”
Alex Schuessler, chairman and CEO of SmartEquip, couldn’t agree
more: “Th is alliance represents a perfect fi t for us,” he said when the
partnership was announced this spring. “It allows members of our
network to improve their ability to manage risk in virtually all of its
forms. NER’s and ISO’s extensive expertise in data management, risk
analysis, and mitigation, combined with their deep relationships with
the insurance industry, make them ideal to jointly provide a full suite
of equipment risk management services to the industry.”

Positive Practices
Tools for Success Th e National Center for Construction Edu-
cation and Research (NCCER), Gainesville,
Fla., has revised its Contren Learning Series
Tools for Success to now include information
on how to fi nd a job and build a resume.
“Tools for Success addresses critical skills
that go beyond learning
a specifi c trade while en-
hancing the daily job ex-
perience with preparation
for what lies ahead,” said
Melissa Malone, work-
force development man-
ager of Becon Construc-
tion/Bechtel in Deer Park, Texas. Malone
was one of seven subject matter experts who
contributed to this curriculum.
OSHA Recognizes CIC OSHA and Crane Institute of America Cer-
tifi cation (CIC) held a signing ceremony last
month in Washington to highlight OSHA’s
formal recognition of CIC. Th is is an impor-
tant stamp of approval for CIC’s nationally
accredited certifi cation programs for crane
operators, riggers and signalpersons. Th e
voluntary agreement from OSHA includes
recognition for Crane Operator certifi cations
– Under 21 Tons (includes options for small
cranes, articulating booms, boom & truck
cranes); 21 to 75 Tons; Over 75 Tons, Lattice
Boom Carrier & Lattice Boom Crawlers; and
Rigger & Signalperson certifi cation.
Among those scheduled to be in atten-
dance at the ceremony were Bill Parsons,
directorate of OSHA construction; James
Headley, CEO, CIC, and president, Crane
Institute of America; several governing
committee members; and Debbie Dickin-
son, executive director, CIC.
Third Annual Top Trainer ContestCrane Hot Line will recognize the indus-
try’s top trainers in an awards program to be
featured in the November 2010 issue. Train-
ers will be recognized for having a positive
impact on students, the work environment,
or the industry through the use of innova-
tive training techniques or hands-on in-
struction by encouraging peer or corporate
accountability, and/or through quantitative
evidence that the training was successful.
Th e objective of the awards program is
to publicly recognize both corporate and
professional trainers who have excelled in
their professions.
Recognitions will be made in two categories.
Professional trainers are those whose primary
employer is a training company. Corporate
trainers are those whose primary employer
is a construction company, crane rental com-
pany, manufacturer, or other industry-related
business. Honorees will be selected by the
editorial staff in both categories.
Nomination criteria and instructions can
be found at www.cranehotline.com by click-
ing the Top Trainer logo on the home page.
• United Kingdom-based Modulift has opened
a training division, which is managed by Nick
Latham, head of training, and targeted at riggers, supervisors, and senior
management. A series of standard courses as well as customized training are
available. Courses will be adapted to the standards of the country in which
the training occurs, including the United States.
• Bradley Benner, vice president-general manager for Alps Wire Rope Corp.,
Glendale Heights, Ill., has been named by Newt Gingrich to the advisory
board of the Jobs and Prosperity Task Force. The task force is comprised of
successful and accomplished American business leaders and entrepreneurs.
“We’re thrilled to have Mr. Benner on board as we begin the work to get this
economy back on track,” said Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and
general chairman of American Solutions, a tri-partisan organization designed
to provide solutions to the most important issues facing the country.

tion/Bechtel in De
NEW YORK, N.Y., MARCH 2010 – Only mini-
mal damage was reported after an all-terrain
crane’s boom drifted against a building over-
night. City offi cials suspended the operator’s
license for failure to secure the crane properly
before leaving the site for the day. Authorities
were also looking into whether mechanical
failure was a factor in the incident.
– New York Times
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., MARCH 2010 – High
winds caused a crane to tip over at a casino
under construction. Debris from the site, in-
cluding glass from the building, came down
across a six-block area. A police offi cer was
injured when debris crashed through his ve-
hicle’s window. – WCBS 880
TOLEDO, OHIO, MARCH 2010 – A fl atbed
truck hauling a crane clipped the support
beams on an overhead exit sign along an
interstate. The highway was shut down for
about four hours, forcing drivers to seek al-
ternate routes. – FoxToledo.com
