A llied Systems Company’s Marine CraneDivision designs and manufactures severe

duty hydraulic and electric pedestal cranes andboat davits. Allied’s Cranes are used primarilyin shipping, oil and gas processing, nuclearpower generation, oceanographic research andmilitary applications. Models include fixedlength, telescopic and knuckle boom cranes incapacities from 2 to 125 tons with boomlengths up to 125 feet.

Allied’s crane designs offer many significantperformance and space-saving advantagesover cable and lattice-type cranes and are custom engineered to fit within a variety ofenvelope constraints. A wide range of optionsand accessories are available to satisfy theneeds of each particular installation. All cranesundergo stringent performance and overloadtesting and are delivered ready for installationwith material and test certificates.

MANUFACTURING CERTIFICATION ANDQUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAMAllied Systems Company is licensed by theAmerican Petroleum Institute to manufactureoffshore cranes to API 2C specification and toapply the API monogram. As an API licensedmanufacturer, Allied adheres to the API Q1Specification for Quality Assurance Programsfor all products. This annually audited programrequires strict adherence to a wide variety ofquality assurance/quality control criteria andrequires control documentation relative to personnel qualification, design, drawings, manufacturing processes, procurement, material identification, traceability, inspection,handling, storage and document retention.

STATE-OF-THE-ART HYDRAULICS FORSMOOTH PERFORMANCEThe superior characteristics of Allied'shydraulics provide a performance advantageover competitors. Allied selects the finesthydraulic components available and designsthese into each crane package. Hydraulicboom luffing cylinders provide positive powerup and down with infinitely variable control.Compared to cable hoist/boom systems,hydraulic cylinders offer smoother performanceand controllability for safer operation. The positive cylinder stops prevent the boom fromexperiencing unwanted over-travel in eitherdirection.

ALLIED'S OVERLOAD SAFETY SYSTEMPROTECTS EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNELThe Allied Hydraulic Overload Safety System isa standard feature on all Allied cranes—unlessspecial electronic systems are requested. Asboom lowering or lifting creates load shiftingwhich can cause an overload condition, the

hydraulic system automatically locks the boomin place and puts the winch in a locked position. The operator then has the ability toraise the boom to decrease radius or to lowerthe load, either of which returns the crane to asafe condition. Visual and audible alarms canbe incorporated into the system as an additional safety feature.

Hydraulic counterbalance valves on winches,boom luffing and telescopic cylinders areanother standard safety feature on all Alliedcranes. These valves stop the crane’s move-ment in the event of hose failure or suddenloss of hydraulic pressure.

SIMPLE AND LOW COST MAINTENANCEAllied Cranes benefit from numerous strategiesto reduce maintenance and lifecycle costs. Tosimplify inspection and recoating, Allied fixedand telescopic box boom cranes have cleanerlines than traditional lattice boom designs. Thebroad, flat surfaces of the box design alsomake it less susceptible to the joint corrosionthat frequently plagues lattice-boom cranes.For easy installation and removal of boom andfoot pin, most Allied foot pin mounting bracketsare a split-cap trunnion design. To decreasethe number of lubrication points, Allied employs"lifetime" lubed bushings in the boom base andtip of all cranes. Allied Cranes also undergostringent testing programs that meet andexceed the highest industry standards. In addition, all Allied cranes are abrasive blasted

to near white metal and coated with multiplelayers of the toughest marine coating materialsavailable.

CUSTOM ENGINEERING FOR ALL APPLICATIONSAllied has extensive experience in engineeringand manufacturing cranes, boat davits andwinches for a variety of applications.Specialized equipment for all types of powergeneration facilities, truck, rail or gantry mounting, dock and shipboard applications isavailable. Allied also supplies several Mil-Speccranes and boat davits for US and foreign military use. In addition, Allied offers fully electrically actuated hoisting, slewing, luffingand telescoping pedestal cranes for specialapplications where hydraulics are not permitted. Engineering capability, experienceand use of advanced computer modeling allowAllied to meet the most complex engineeringchallenges.

Series knuckle boom cranes use hinged boxsection booms, optionally equipped with telescopic jib extensions. As special purposecranes, they are custom designed for applications requiring a very short workingradius, low overhead clearances, and/or otherspecial operating requirements. y keeping theload near the tip of the jib, Allied Seriescranes can minimize involuntary swinging ofthe load. These models use one, two or threemain lift cylinders and jib cylinders and can bestowed horizontally to save valuable space. Series cranes offer tremendous flexibility andprecision in operation due to their state-of-the-art hydraulic and electronic systems. All Series cranes are assembled and tested to aminimum of 125 and up to 220 of the ratedload prior to delivery.
