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.

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

this year.

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,

which considered the development of tower

crane registries and legislation there contin-

ues to be debated; and recently the Ontario

Ministry of Labor has begun researching the

need for updated crane legislation.

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.

BBusiness Issues

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.

Crane owners are looking to particulate fi lters and engine repowers to meet emissions standards


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.

John Deere Introduces Tier 4 Diesel Engine Series John Deere Power Systems (JDPS), Waterloo, Iowa, displayed their entire Interim Tier 4/Stage

IIIB diesel engine lineup and announced engine models and power ratings at Bauma. Emissions regu-

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

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.

www.terex.com

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.”

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.

the training occurs, including the United States.
