Comment
theme that particularly strikes me this month is “BIG.” Clearly, focusing on big
can have connotations of sensationalism but there is no getting away from the
fact that big is more than a recurring theme in this industry. Reflecting this are
many examples of big in this month’s issue of the magazine.
For many people, at least in much of the northern hemisphere, August is a relatively
quiet month as it is vacation time but leading up to it there has been plenty of big news.
In terms of equipment, Mammoet has ordered a couple of Liebherr’s new 1,000 tonne
capacity telescopic wheeled mobiles and Terex-Demag has announced it will also build
a 1,000 tonne telescopic wheeled mobile. What other big new wheeled mobiles are on
the way?
In the crawler crane sector big machines are the current trend. Terex-Demag, for
example, known for its big crawlers, is dominating recent developments with new
models and capacity enhancements. At the end of last month it showed the new
narrow track version of its 600 tonner, a machine largely designed for erecting wind
turbines, which, as with other loads in power generation and petrochemical industries,
are also getting bigger so bigger cranes are needed to erect and maintain them.
Liebherr’s latest big crawler, a 1,350 tonner, is a step up the range and likely to be
followed with even bigger models. In line with this trend maybe we will see a new big
red crawler crane from the US, somewhere around the 1,300 tonne capacity mark, or
what about a narrow track version of something around 500 or 600 tonnes?
Big is going hand in hand with busy. Strong demand for, among other crane
types, these big crawlers, is forecast to continue at least for the next two or three
years. Terex-Demag puts the increase in demand for 300 tonnes and higher
capacity crawlers, this year over last, at around 20%.
Big numbers feature strongly in the manufacturers’ half-year financial results.
Increases in revenue over the same period in 2005 are above 30% and increases in
operating profit are more than 100%. Big order backlogs of more than $1 billion are
further indications of a buoyant industry.
One way or another “big” is usually associated with “lots and more” and it is
vital to remember its indelible connection with “responsibility.”

changes
tactics
UK-based Hewden Crane Hire,
part of the Hewden Group, has
announced that from 1 October it
will concentrate only on cranes up
to 100 tonnes in capacity.
Mark Hierons, head of cranes
at Hewden, said, “Our strategy is
concerned with improving focus
on our core customer offering,
enhancing the performance of
the business, seeking areas for
future potential investment and
improving the efficiency with
which we operate within the
cranes marketplace.”
The current Hewden
crane fleet is Terex-Demag
wheeled mobiles up to
300 tonnes capacity. Models
above 100 tonnes capacity
(nine units) will be sold through
the company’s regular auctions,
where surplus equipment from the
Group’s divisions is sold off.
When the changes to the
fleet have been made, Hierons
said that the company will “use
its nationwide network of rental
outlets to make cranes more
widely available at a local level,
thereby ensuring that we meet
customer needs irrespective of
their location.”
Hierons also said that
“partnerships are in place” with
other UK rental companies to
provide cranes over 100 tonnes
capacity.
The company said it plans to
improve the age of the 220-crane
fleet at a later date.
US majors explore options
Three of the largest crane rental
companies in North America – Maxim
Crane Works, Essex Crane Rental, and
Marino Crane Rental – have made it
known that they are either for sale,
open to a merger, seeking investors or
“exploring options.”
In last month’s News we reported
that Maxim Crane Works Holdings had
retained Goldman, Sachs & Co. to act
as financial advisor while “exploring
strategic business alternatives that will
enable Maxim to continue to grow its
business.”
Maxim would not comment on the
specifics of the announcement, but
said in a statement that “alternatives
under consideration would include
a merger, sale of the business, or
other potential transactions.” While
in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
in 2004, Maxim was the subject of a
$325 million bid from AmQuip.
IC sister publication American
Cranes & Transport reported that
Joseph Vaccarello, Maxim’s chief
financial officer, would not speculate
on the reasons for the sale, whether
it was general market conditions or
reasons specific to the company.
Carl Marino was also unwilling
to give details about Marino
Crane Rental’s situation, but did
acknowledge his firm had made formal
arrangements to solicit investors.
Ron Schad, CEO of Essex, said
he would talk about Essex Crane
Rental’s decision to sell the company
at a later date.
Industry insiders, who were quick
to speculate but who do not want
to be quoted, said there are several
market conditions that can contribute
to a company with a large inventory
of cranes putting itself up for sale.
One view was that because used
cranes prices are high – some used
models are selling for more than when
they were new – the assets of these
companies are worth more than ever.
Another leading speculation is that a
couple of the companies are ready
for “profit taking,” given the strength
of the market. Others speculated that
financial problems may be the reason,
even though the crane rental market
is buoyant.
Fruits of the forest
Doll, based in Germany, specializes
both in logging and heavy and
specialized trailers and has now
combined both into one flat bed semitrailer. Features of this Vario T3H-S3
include a hydraulically detachable
gooseneck, 5.8 m flat bed that can
be extended to 11 m and hydraulic
steering on all three axles.
A typical application is carrying
logging machines on forest tracks
so, for sufficient ground clearance,
the driver can remotely control ride
height via the gooseneck and axles.
The electro-hydraulically controlled
steering can be operated from the cab
or by remote control and the last axle
has a 45° maximum steering angle.
Meade Crane Service has taken delivery of the
Republic of Ireland’s first 130 tonne capacity
Grove GMK5130-1 all terrain mobile crane. The
new unit joins two other Groves in the 13-crane
Meade fleet: a GMK3055, and a GMK5100. Fergus
Meade, a director at Meade Crane Service, said,
“We purchased the GMK5130-1 to fill the void
between our smaller cranes, with short boom
lengths, and larger machines that are too big
for working in the city, which is where most of
our work occurs.” The first job for the crane
involved lifting several 2 tonne air conditioning
units to a height of 40 m for installation on top
of a building in Dublin city centre. The GMK5130-1
was rigged with its full boom of 60 m and was
configured with 18 m of luffing fly jib offset at
40º. To maximise lift capacity 23.6 tonnes of
counterweight was used.
TopLift
2006
Every year IC asks companies
to submit information on lifting
projects completed in the last
12 months by their company
into the annual TopLift contest.
Ten jobs will be selected and
then published in the September
issue of International Cranes and
Specialized Transport. Readers
then vote for their favourite and
the winner and two runners up are
published in the December issue.
There are no minimum or
maximum requirements for the
scale of any project submitted, but
it must involve lifting.
If you have a lifting job you
want to enter for TopLift 2006,
please send information and
photographs to Alex Dahm at the

the new Terex-Demag CC 2800-1 NT
crawler crane. A typical application
for the NT (Narrow Track) version of
the 600 tonne capacity CC 2800-1
is to erect groups of wind turbines
on the often-remote wind farm sites
where access roads are 5 m wide.
Turbines with hub heights up to
142 m can be accommodated.
The crane can travel between
turbines on site fully erected with its
long boom system and counterweight.
To achieve this the NT has a narrow
track carbody with full width front and
rear outriggers plus side outriggers
that can fold up to a vertical position
for narrow access. It also has
a counterweight suspension
system, remote control
operation and more
powerful track drives.
The CC 2800-1 NT can erect
itself, with 102 m of SH/LH SGLmax
S7 boom and 12 m luffing fly without
an assist crane. Other features
include a low centre of gravity and
low ground pressure, Terex-Demag
said. And the upper works of the NT
are the same as the CC 2800-1 so
it can be converted to a standard
crane.
For more information on this
crane see the crawler crane feature
starting on page 29.

Lomma orders six Manitowoc crawlers
Crane rental company J F Lomma in the US has ordered
six new crawler cranes from Manitowoc. The order
comprises three 300 tonne capacity Model 2250s, two
400 tonne capacity Model 16000s, and a 600 tonne
capacity Model 18000. All six cranes will be added to
the New Jersey-based company’s fleet, which includes
crawlers, towers and all terrain mobile cranes.

“Customers’ needs are varied, and with the amount
of urban construction going on in New York City, we
need to be prepared for any number of jobsite needs.
With a variety of boom configurations and great lift
capacities across the load chart, Manitowoc crawlers
provide exactly what we need.”
All the new crawlers were ordered with luffing jibs
and deliveries will start in September.
Oshkosh buys IMT

WO RLD NEW S
Spain to increase tower crane production
Tower crane manufacturers in Spain
are increasing production this year, as
the country’s construction industry is
likely to grow again. Demand for new
housing is driving the construction
market and filling the order books of
Spanish crane makers.
Other large scale construction
projects, such as the building of the
site of the International Expo 2008 in
Zaragoza are also creating long term
work. In addition to building the Expo
site in Zaragoza, facilities and extra
accommodation for the estimated six
million visitors to the city for the event
need to be constructed. The Expo will
change the profile of Zaragoza as the
new buildings and transport routes
will mean that the city “faces the river
Ebro, rather than away from it,” event
organisers said.
Iván Andres, communication
and marketing manager at the
Spanish Manufacturers Association
of Construction and Mining
Equipment (ANMOPyC), said that
around 3,500 new tower cranes
were sold in Spain in 2005. This
figure, Andres said, includes sales
from Spanish manufacturers that
are not members of ANMOPyC and
companies from outside the country,
10
for example, Potain and Terex. Sales
and production figures for 2005
from individual manufacturers were
unavailable at the time of writing in
late July, ANMOPyC said.
Manufacturer Jaso, which also
operates one of the world’s largest
tower crane rental fleets, will
increase production this year from
an undisclosed number to 1,000
units this year, according to export
manager Mikel Iturrioz. Around 25%
will be exported, Iturrioz said. The
company’s increased production
schedule means that between
20 and 25 new cranes will leave
the company’s factory at Idiazabal
every week.
Liebherr Industrias Metalicas,
in Pamplona, northern Spain,
is increasing production this
year. General manager Michael
Hormann, who estimates the
Spanish tower market at 3,000 units
a year, told IC that the Pamplona
factory will be building 1,000
machines a year. Hormann said
that apartment block construction
is driving the market. “The only
thing that may slow the market
down,” he said, “is the variable
interest on finance when buying
machines. This does not happen in
other countries.”
Christopher Dawe, export
manager at Comansa, which moved
to a new, larger factory last year,
said, “The Spanish tower crane
market is the largest in the world.
There are more towers in Spain than
in any other country.” The company’s
new factory, is twice the size of the
previous facility 3 km away.
In addition to the domestic
market, Comansa is aiming for higher
export figures this year. Dawe said
that the US and Eastern Europe are
the main markets for the company.
Comansa plans to build 800 towers
this year.
Boom Logistics buying again
Australian crane rental major Boom Logistics has
completed its 15th acquisition in six years after
completing an AUS$60 million (US$45 million) deal
for the James Group.
Boom CEO Rod Harmon said the deal included
the James Equipment business, which specialises
in the sale of used mobile cranes and holds a
licence to sell new Tadano cranes in Australia.
Harmon said that the crane sales business
“added a further vertical integration to Boom’s
operations, which will enable the company to
offer its customers a more comprehensive and
streamlined service.”
The James Group operates a dry hire fleet of 70 mobile cranes from
depots in Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland. Turnover last year was
AUS$44 million (US$33 million).
Brendan James, general manager of the James Group, will continue to
manage the business and join the Boom executive team.

W ORLD NEW S
Mammoet orders pair of
1,000 tonne telescopics
Mammoet will expand its crane fleet with two new
1,000 tonne capacity wheeled mobile telescopic
cranes from Liebherr. According to a Mammoet
official the cranes will be the new LTM 11000-9.1
announced in IC last November. One crane will be
operated from the Dutch headquarters, while the
other one will be stationed in Germany. The cranes
will start operating in late 2007.
The LTM 11000-9.1 has a nine axle all terrain
carrier with X-type outriggers that give a maximum
outrigger base of 13 x 13 m. The outriggers remain
on the carrier during transport so the crane complies
with Dutch and European road regulations that have
a maximum gross vehicle weight limit of 100 tonnes
– a basic requirement in line with current and more
stringent regulations, according to Mammoet.
The 54.4 m telescopic boom will be transported
separately on a tractor and dolly combination.
An assist crane is not needed to install the
telescopic boom as the crane can do it by itself,
Mammoet said. If required, the boom can be stowed
over the front of the carrier for travel on site. To
install the counterweight a base plate on the ground
is stacked with all the pieces before a special lifting
device, fitted to the rear on the crane upper works,
lifts the full 200 tonne package onto the crane.
This method almost eliminates the work at height
associated with counterweight installation on large
capacity telescopic cranes.
Mammoet opted for the 54.4 m telescopic boom
in combination with the Y-guying system, a 6 m
adaptor and 126 m of luffing jib. This combination
also allows, the installation of, among others,
72 m of fixed jib to reach a tip height of 135 m.
This height used to be the domain of luffing jibs.
The main telescopic boom will be prepared for the
fitting of a second telescopic boom, extending tip
height to 100 m but this configuration will only
become available if market circumstances require it,
according to Mammoet.
Watson Steel Structures in the UK called in Crane Services Heavy Crane Division to erect a new bridge
arch over the River Clyde in Scotland to take an all in one tramway, road and pedestrian crossing. A
major challenge was that the cranes had to stand on an existing bridge. Crane Services and Watson
engineers devised a scheme to
stand two 500 tonne capacity
Liebherr LTM 1500s in three
positions. To position the
150 tonne end sections the
cranes were rigged on main
boom, then the rig was changed
to include a 21 m luffer to
position the 155 tonne centre
section. A further challenge
was the curvature of the main
bridge that meant the front of
the cranes had to be blocked up
by more than 800 mm.
Cranes lift Terex to record Q2
Terex Corporation reported record revenue of
US$2.1 billion for the second quarter of 2006.
Net sales in the Terex Cranes segment for the
period increased $104.4 million to $440.6 million
from $336.2 million in the second quarter of 2005.
The acquisition of Chinese truck crane manufacturer
Sichuan Changjiang Engineering Crane Co, Ltd was
attributed with about 10% of the growth in net sales
in the second quarter.
“The Terex Cranes segment had an excellent
quarter, with strong revenue growth of over 30%
versus the prior year’s results,” said Steve Filipov,
president of Terex Cranes. “The performance
improvement was in revenue and, more
importantly, in operating profit, where we improved
approximately 125% over the prior year’s results,
which is a tremendous accomplishment. Best of
all, the positive performance was broad based, with
all product lines contributing significantly to this
quarter’s improvements.”
IC 0806 News.indd 11
Filipov added, “It would be easy to step back
and enjoy our recent successes; however, the
crane market has only recently begun to recover
in terms of new equipment demand, and there still
exists a supply and demand imbalance in many
product ranges.
“We are working to improve our production
rates by improving our supplier base to ensure
that our products are the timely, reliable and costeffective equipment our customers expect. There
are stories published every day regarding the
massive infrastructure expansion being undertaken
globally that will require cranes, among other
pieces of equipment.
“This demand, from China to the Middle East,
as well as Europe and a newly recovered North
America, is unlikely to soften in the near future,
and adds to our confidence that Terex Cranes
can achieve a 10% operating margin in the
foreseeable future.”

Q&A
Scott Moreland
Vice president of sales (USA)
Liebherr Nenzing Crane Co.
How long have you been in the
industry?
I entered the crawler crane
industry in 1980 as mid-west
area manager for the Manitowoc
Engineering Co. In 1999 I
joined Liebherr Nenzing and am
now vice president of sales for
the USA
What has been the most significant
development in your time?
Fly by wire, electronic control
over hydraulics and wet disc
free-fall brakes. And real-time,
on-line load chart calculation in
the LMI that is safer and frees the
customer from using e-proms and
arduous re-calibration procedures
among many other advantages

This month we looked at
www.liftquote.com, a new US
web site designed to connect
people needing to rent cranes
with crane rental companies
and dealers in their local area.
Users enter the weight of the
object they need to lift, some
details about the job and the
location of the lift.
The site will then produce a
list of suitable cranes to perform
the lift and provide details of companies in the area that could carry out the job.
Registration is required to view load charts and get a list of cranes that can
perform a lift, while unregistered users can only perform crane and rental
company searches.
There is also a classified advertising section with cranes and other types of
construction equipment for sale.

Is the crane industry safe?
sacrificing flexibility.”
Yes, but like the trucking industry
(with the same possibilities of
catastrophic accidents), safety
requires well designed equipment,
knowledgeable, well trained
operators and drivers, and proper
maintenance
What disappoints you most in the
industry?
People discounting rentals to the
extent that they cannot cover
proper maintenance, service and
the replacement of the crane.
This makes it difficult for some to
justify buying a new crane
Where do you see the industry in
20 years?
We will still see winches, hooks
and booms but, again, I see it
as in the trucking industry with
the manufacturers continuously
trying to make machines safer,
more durable, easier and more
economical to operate, maintain
and own

Conflict impacts
Stock markets had a real rollercoaster ride in
July, first recovering from some of the early
seasons losses before diving again following
renewed violence in the Middle East.

to the all-time high around US$ 84
(in today’s money) seen in 1979
following the Iranian revolution. With
the hurricane season yet to strike
the Gulf of Mexico, and tensions still
high in the Middle East, it seems
more than likely this ceiling will be
broken before the year is out.
Resilience
n early July it looked like the
world’s stock markets were
making a good recovery from
the long losing streak that was
triggered by high US inflation figures
in mid-May. However, week 28 saw
the outbreak of fierce hostilities
between Israel and the Lebanese
Hezbollah militia, which prompted
oil prices to spike and stock markets
to fall.
Oil hit a brief high above US$ 78
I
Despite these problems, share
prices have shown some reasonable
resilience. There were improvements
following mid-July’s dive and, by the
end of the month, the markets were
a little above where they were in late
June.
Between weeks 25 and 30 the
Dow achieved a narrow net gain of
0.74%. The Topix was stronger with

its 3.67% growth. Like the Dow,
IC’s Share Index enjoyed a marginal
improvement, with a 0.55% rise over
the five week period.
So there is clearly resilience in
the market, and this is borne out
by looking back 12 months. The
FTSE 100 and Topix 500 look
good compared to the end of July
2005, and are up 12.04% and
30.26%, respectively. The Dow
is also in positive territory, with a
4.32% improvement on a rolling 12
month basis.
But it is the lifting sector that
leads the way, with IC ’s Share
Index up a huge 56.18% compared
to a year ago. This underlines the
sector’s ongoing buoyancy and
profitability. Indeed, the fact that
there have been three share splits
this year, most recently Terex’s two
for one split in week 28, emphasises
the strong demand for lifting
companies’ equity on the markets.
Weeks 25 to 30 were marked by the
Bank of Japan raising interest rates
above 0% for the first time in more
than six years. The 0.25% increase
was more symbolic than material, but
it still illustrates growing confidence in
Japan’s economy.
July also saw Federal Reserve
chairman Ben Bernanke tell Congress
that the end could be in sight for US
rate rises. He said there were still
concerns about inflation, but that
cooling growth in the economy would
neutralise the effects.
Both events prompted a
weakening of the Dollar, although its
biggest fall was a 1.72% drop against
the Pound, followed by a 1.20% fall
against the Euro. It was down just
0.34% against the Yen.

the IC50 listing of the world’s largest
crane-owning companies, the idea
is that with each successive edition,
the list is improved, largely thanks to
input from readers. Comments and
suggestions are welcome.
The heavy transport market
has two main segments: heavy
and specialized transport by road;
and – where often higher loads are
involved – heavy transport on jobsites,
which reflects in the total tonnage and
both form the basis for our list.
Although the goal to include
the top 50 companies from around
the world is still some way off, a
strong showing of newcomers has
been added this year. This has had
an impact on the ranking by directly
affecting ranking positions towards the
top of the table. Unchanged, however,
is the number one position, which
is held again by Netherlands-based
international specialist, Mammoet.
New in at number two is Italy- b

T50
based Fagioli, one of the largest
heavy transport companies that is
active both in site and road transport.
In terms of their T50 Index value,
Fagioli, which is especially strong in
on-road transport, and Mammoet, are
relatively close to each other while
there is a big gap between these two
and the T50 Index figure of third place
– last year’s number two, UK-based
Abnormal Load Engineering, which
still boasts an impressive total.
The number of new entries is
substantial – 13 companies are listed
for the first time this year – so the
list has grown significantly. If similar
growth can be achieved next year it is
likely that the target of 50 companies
will be reached.
A notable newcomer in the top
10 is Dawes in the US. Dawes is
particularly strong as a heavy and
specialized carrier involved in
on-road transport. Another well
known company to join the T50 is
Al Jaber from Abu Dhabi, UAE. Al
Jaber is heavily involved in expansion
projects in the Middle East,
especially of petrochemical plants
and, therefore, has acquired a large
number of SPMTs over the last few

drums 775 km by road from

years. Another notable new entry is
Anatolia from Turkey. Anatolia offers a
wide range of services and is heavily
involved in transporting large and
heavy refinery equipment.
Companies other than pure heavy
transport specialists have also made
the listing. An example is Ainscough
Crane Hire, one of the largest crane
rental companies in the world, which,
also has a large fleet of heavy and
specialized trailers that counts among
the top worldwide companies when it
comes to a ranking in the T50.
There is also room for smaller
companies, for example, Caribbean
Heavy Lift & Transport in Aruba.
The young company is reporting a
healthy level of business and, as a
result, might well keep up its growth,

tonnage wise, as it has this year and
maintain a position in the table.
While it is not reflected in the
T50 , it should be noted that
Lampson, headquartered in the
US, offers, in addition to the main
categories based on rubber tyred
trailers and transporters, another
important tool in heavy load
movement – the crawler transporter.
This is just one example of possible
ways to improve and expand
the list with additional worthwhile
information.
Your comments and suggestions
on ways to improve the T50 and any
other aspect of IC are welcome. While
there is room to expand and improve
the T50 we try hard to get as many
replies as possible by encouraging
hundreds of potentially relevant
companies around the world to fill
in and return the T50 application
form. While we have managed to
expand the list by more than 50%
this year we realise the list is far from
complete. With the help of readers we
can expand and improve the list again

next year.

Moving U
Unknown quantities were part of an unusual challenge met by
Abnormal Load Engineering in the UK to move a WWII submarine
ollowing the closure of the Historic Warships
Museum at Birkenhead in the north of England
earlier this year a WWII German U-boat had to
be moved out. The Mersey Docks and Harbour
Company contracted Abnormal Load Engineering
Ltd (ALE) and Nuttall John Martin (NJM) to move the
museum’s main attraction 400 m further along the
quay to clear land for development.
When U534 was sunk off the coast of Norway in
May 1945 no one was killed so it was not classified
as a war grave, allowing its current owner to raise
it in 1993. It has been part of the Historic Warships
display at Birkenhead for 13 years.
ALE had to react quickly to the client’s strict
programme requirements for the movement. The
relocation project was completed in less than three
weeks, from concept planning to completion.
U534 is 70 m long and weighs 900 tonnes.
To move the vessel ALE had to make detailed
engineering investigations into the issues and
risks. Before mobilising equipment to site, method
statements, risk assessments and engineering
calculations were prepared and submitted to meet
both ALE and NJM’s requirements.
Due to the age and history of the vessel
how much of it was left intact was unknown. Its
F
exact weight and centre of gravity position were
not available. ALE engineered the chosen trailer
configuration based on worse case historical
design data available for U534 and set parameters
for maximum lateral chambers and longitudinal
gradients. This was detailed in the method
statement documents and the hold points were
reviewed, assessed and signed off prior to each
step of the process being completed.
Before the move a test lift was carried out using
an assembly of 48 axles of Scheuerle self propelled
modular transporter (SPMT) and the weight was
calculated at between 850 and 900 tonnes.
The SPMTs were connected to each other via a
data cable so that all units were linked electronically.
Once connected, they are programmed to act in
synchronization. All functions were operated from
a joy stick type control box worn by the operator.
Once the U-boat parameters were programmed into
the computer, the computer monitored the level of
the structure and adjusted the hydraulically driven
wheels of the SPMT automatically at all times.
The U-boat, which is owned by Danish
company Den Bla Avis, will stay in its new position
for a short time until a more permanent location
■
can be found.

SPECIALIZED TRANSPORT NEW S
Trends in transport
Strong demand in the sector is illustrated by a stream of
orders and positive signs reported both by end users and
manufacturers of heavy and specialized transport equipment and
services. GINO KOSTER reports
emand for new heavy and specialized
transport equipment is such that the
growing number of orders is affecting
delivery times. Order backlogs for relatively
standard specialized trailers are up to a year and
even longer for some specific types. Pressure on
production capacity and a shortage of components
are primary factors.
A trend in trailers is clear in that there is growing
demand for more sophisticated trailers and trailer
systems, especially self-propelled hydraulic modular
trailers. German manufacturer Goldhofer, for
example, has received two major orders for its
PST/SL-E self-propelled modular trailers with
b
electronic multi-way steering.
D
Barnhart in the US is adding 108 axle lines of
Goldhofer self-propelled heavy duty transport
modules to its fleet that already includes transport
equipment from the German manufacturer
210 tonnes of luxury on the move
Catwalk, one of the largest yachts ever presented in a hall at a trade fair, was recently transported on
vehicles produced by the Pfedelbach, Germany-based special vehicle manufacturer, Scheuerle. It was a
short but demanding journey. This impressive example of marine engineering was one of the star exhibits
at Boot Düsseldorf 2006, a showcase for the international boat and water sports industry, and attracted
strong interest from the large number of visitors.
At a location where luxury yachts of this category are rarely seen, the 210 tonne, 41 m long and 8 m
wide yacht, Catwalk, could recently be found on view at unusual mooring facilities – on the River Rhine,
near the halls of the Düsseldorf fairground. In reaching the final destination, however, the ship did not
actually travel on the water. At its production site, a shipyard in the town of Saale on the River Danube,
the yacht was loaded on to a specially designed pontoon. A transportation cradle, which was used at the
same time as a mounting construction for the subsequent road transport phase, ensured that the yacht
was firmly secured to the pontoon. The journey on the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers to Düsseldorf, took
around three weeks.
With a Scheuerle heavy load combination, using modular platform trailers from the Inter Combi series,
a team from international haulage company, Schenker, then assumed responsibility for the valuable
freight. The heavy duty transporter was driven under the transportation cradle which was then raised and
moved to the final driving position by means of the on-board hydraulic equipment.
The destination for the transport was Hall 6 at the Düsseldorf exhibition centre, a distance of around
one kilometre. On 144 wheels, the heavy load combination had to negotiate at the end an upward
gradient of 10.4%. The yacht, with its relatively high load centre, was safely moved to its designated
position. Once there, the ship was gently lowered on to its mounting construction. Complete with
additional superstructure elements, such as hardtop and radar mast, the ship has an overall height of
almost 17 m.

SPECIALIZED TR A N S P O R T N E WS
Sankyu in Japan, a long time Scheuerle customer,
recently ordered 102 lines of SPMT. Sankyu general
manager, Mr Shigemasa, is congratulated by Otto
Rettenmaier, owner of the TII-Group that includes
Scheuerle, for ordering the Scheuerle SPMT
The first order, from Barnhart Crane & Rigging
Co. in the US and valued at about US$11.3 million,
comprises 108 axle lines of PST/SL-E. Delivery will
start later this year and will continue over the next
two to three years. Barnhart ordered four- and sixline modules, including some split-type modules to
enable coupling 1.5-wide trailers.
Barnhart already owns 150 lines of Goldhofer
THP/SL, including two self-propelled modules
with mechanical steering. Commenting on the
order, Alan Barnhart said, “With a payload of
40 tonnes per axle line this delivery will allow
over 4,000 tonnes to be transported. Coupling
up with the non-propelled THP/SL can even
further increase that capacity.”
The second major Goldhofer order, for 104
lines of PST/SL-E, is from Havator in Finland.
Earlier this year Havator acquired Kuljetusneliö
Oy, a leading heavy transport company.
Founded in 1956, Havator celebrates its 50th
anniversary this year and has plans to continue
expanding, for example, in Russia. Adding the
104 new axle lines to the 64 Kuljetusneliö
already had brings the total to 168 and takes
the company’s transportation capacity to more than
5,000 tonnes.
The Electronic-Multiway-Steering (EMS) offers,
in addition to standard counter steering, carousel,
diagonal crab, transverse and combinations with
non-coupled trailer modules. The steering angle
range is +/–135 degrees. Goldhofer says that the
PST/SL-E and THP/SL can be coupled without any
height difference between them.
Another large order for high-tech trailers
was received by fellow German manufacturer
Scheuerle, part of the Transporters Industry
International (TII) Group owned by Otto
Rettenmaier. Japanese specialist heavy transport
and rigging company Sankyu ordered 102 axle
lines of the latest generation of self propelled
modular transporter (SPMT).
Sankyu was one of the first companies to
buy self-propelled modular transporters some
20 years ago and since then the company has
acquired container-sized SPMTs and now adds
another 3,700 tonnes of payload to its existing
fleet. The trailers are three-, four- and six-line
modules with power packs and operator cabs. The
STEPS 3 (Scheuerle Transporters Electronic
Processor System) program controls and
synchronizes all drive and steer movements and can
synchronise the latest SPMT with earlier types.
Another member of the TII Group, Kamag,
also based in Germany, has recently delivered
Finalising an order for 104 axle lines of Goldhofer
PST/SL-E modular trailers by Finnish company
Havator are, from left to right, Timo Riiho (managing
director of Kuljetusneliö Oy), Erkki Hanhirova (owner
of Havator Oy), Stefan Fuchs (Goldhofer CEO) and
Horst Häfele (Goldhofer sales director, heavy duty
equipment). Transport company Kuljetusneliö was
acquired by Havator earlier this year
two ship section transporters to China. The
432 tonne capacity units went to a shipyard in
Jiangsu province. Each 48-wheel transporter, which
has a tare weight of 72 tonnes, is 18 m long and
6 m wide. Kamag also supplies SPMTs and the
steering and hydrostatic propulsion are identical.
Again from Germany, manufacturer Greiner
Fahrzeugtechnik, specialises in special low beds,
beams and transformer bridges and special trailers
for heavy load handling on site. For machinery
moving and installation Greiner developed ultra low
hydraulic modular trailers on solid tyres. From this
experience a special version aimed at the nuclear
industry was developed.
Greiner says it is particularly successful with
this type of trailer in the US where it has recently
delivered trailer units 10 and 11 to handle
nuclear casks. Features of the HPI 120.8,
designed for a combined gross weight of
150 tonnes, include electro-hydraulic
steering on all axles, height adjustment and
■
remote control.
Kamag supplied two ship section transporters
to a Chinese shipyard in Jiangsu province.
Road transportation of the two ship section
transporters from the factory in Germany
to the port of Bremerhaven was carried out
using two heavy duty Scheuerle modular
trailers with a total of 48 wheels

The BRL 150 million
(US$ 67 million) Eldorado
Business Tower in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, started life
as a hotel but is now being
turned into one of the most
environmentally aware office
developments in the city.
The transformation, however,
will have taken almost six
years to complete. RICHARD
HIGH, from IC sister magazine
International Construction,
visited the site to find out why
esigned by Aflalo & Gasperini Arquitetos,
working with structural engineer
Franca e Associados, the 36 storey
Eldorado Business Tower is being built
by a partnership comprising property developers
Modal and Sao Carlos, with Sao Paulo-based
contractor Gafisa.
Construction of the tower, originally planned
as a luxury hotel, started in 2001. Gafisa worked
for 12 months to clear the site, excavate the lower
levels and lay the podium. Then work stopped for
four years.
Bruno Muscari Scacchetti, works co-ordinator
at Gafisa, says there are several reasons behind
the long delay in completing the tower. “When
construction first started at the beginning of
2001 there was a huge surge in demand for
hotels. However, following the depreciation of the
Brazilian Reais in the latter half of the year, and the
subsequent economic downturn, demand for this
type of building fell sharply so construction stopped.
“However, following the election of President
Luiz Inacio ‘Lula’ da Silva in January 2003, there
has been a steady and growing demand for
office space. In mid-2005, judging the economic
conditions were right, the partnership decided to
change the use of the tower from a hotel to an
office with construction starting again in September
that year,” Scacchetti explains.

Design changes
In the east of Sao Paulo the Eldorado Business
Tower site is sandwiched between Avenida das
Nações Unidas, Avenida Eusébio Matoso and a

Before work started on site again the partnership
decided that the new building should also be as
“environmentally friendly” as possible. Following
an environmental impact study by Laboratório de
Aerodinâmica da Construção in conjunction with
UFRGS (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul),
architects Aflalo & Gasperini completely redesigned
the building. Rainwater will now be collected and
recycled, the façade will use photovoltaic glass and
there will be some natural ventilation.
Essentially the tower is a conventional design.
A concrete core supports concrete outriggers
that stretch to the concrete perimeter for rigidity.
Along the perimeter are 10 support columns with
a minimum diameter of 500 mm and a maximum
diameter of 1,500 mm.
Concrete construction
Scacchetti says that the concrete core, perimeter,
floor and labour, at BRL 5 million (US$ 2.2 million)
each, have been among the highest costs so far,
due to the strength and amount of concrete.
A total of 30,000 m3 of concrete has been
used, 20% of which is for the pre-cast elements –
stairs and main beams – that are fabricated on site.
With a floor to ceiling height of 3 m (the reception
will be a double height atrium) and a surface area
of 2,000 m2, each floor takes eight days per cycle,
four days for the front of the building and four days
for the rear.
Scacchetti says cost was a major factor in

“I’m proud of what
we’ve achieved,

surprisingly, the time
we’ve done it in”
deciding to work this way. Such a large floor area
meant it was not possible to construct a self-jacking
system for the formwork. Instead, two Potain
MC 115 B top slewing tower cranes are used to
move it. The cranes are rented from Sao Paulobased rental house Locabens and include operators
and service engineers.
Sitting at the heart of the tower, the two tower
cranes started on site in September 2005 and will
remain until late 2007. Primary duties include lifting
the main concrete support beams, stairs and other
precast concrete elements weighing up to 5 tonnes,
plus moving the formwork, glass and frames.
When construction started above ground the
cranes were mounted on a steel plate secured to
the basement floor and loaded with ballast. As the
building started to grow they were jacked up to the
third floor. This process was repeated every three
floors until floor 30.
After the cranes had been climbed from the
basement level they were secured to the 12 m,
3 tonne steel beams that stretch from the
concrete core to the perimeter, two sets per crane.

The two new Potain MC 115 B
top slewing tower cranes are on
their first project and they are
the first of their kind in Brazil
Precast elements, such as the stairs and support
beams, are lifted into place by one of the two
Potain MC 115 B top slewing tower cranes
Scacchetti, says this was because the floor was not
strong enough to support the cranes’ weight, which,
fully loaded with ballast, is 55 tonnes.
“We decided to use the Potain MC 115 Bs
after carefully analysing the work they would be
required to do, and the ease with which they can
be assembled and climbed. This, coupled with
their low power consumption and high technical
specifications, meant they were the obvious choice
for the job,” Scacchetti explains.
With jib lengths of 50 and 30 m the cranes will
have a maximum height under hook of 165 m. The
jibs can pass over the adjacent car park and road,
but not with a load on the hook. To do this requires
special permission, which, Scacchetti says, has
happened at certain times during construction.
Learning curve
In his four years in the construction industry this is
Scacchetti’s largest project. “The biggest learning
curve came with the logistical planning required
for a project of this size. Co-ordinating the ‘just-intime’ deliveries, such as the steel beams, with the
concrete deliveries for the pre-cast elements and
the concrete needed for the floor construction was a
major headache to start with.”
Other obstacles have also been overcome. One
of the biggest is maintaining the correct technical
standards throughout the construction cycle.
Scacchetti says Gafisa has an ISO 9000 continuous
training programme for everyone concerned with
the tower’s construction. Constant supervision and
training means it has managed to maintain these
standards throughout the construction lifecycle.
Another recent problem has been adapting the
German glass technology specified by the architect
to the Brazilian pre-cast concrete elements.
The solution involved Germany-based Schuch
manufacturing the frames in Brazil, with a specially
designed fixing system to hold the frame against the
concrete. After this has been fixed the tower cranes
will lift the glass panels into place for fixing inside
■
the frames.

The Group
C R A W L ER S
While the last year has seen
new lattice crawler cranes
launched in all classes,
activity in the sector is
concentrated in the top half of
the capacity range, which is
where the majority of recent
new models are found.
ALEX DAHM investigates
round 20 new crawler cranes have been
announced in IC over the last year or so.
Close to half of those are models with
telescopic booms (see the Fad or future
feature in the May issue). Of the remainder, all of
which have lattice booms, all but three are above
200 tonnes capacity. That means nearly ten new
medium and high capacity lattice crawler models.
Substantial growth has been a feature of the
crawler market as a whole worldwide in the last
three years. End-users and rental companies have
been waiting for the best time to re-invest in new
machinery. Crawler deliveries in 2005 indicate
a total market volume of around 1,100 units,
according to Liebherr, which claims a market share
of something between 15 and 20% of that.
A
Upscale tracks
The new Terex-Demag CC 2800-1 NT (for Narrow
Track) crawler on display in iron for the first time
on 28 July in Germany
Kobelco claims a
worldwide total crawler market
share of 33%, while in the
250 tonne class the Japanese
manufacturer estimates it has
a 50% share, according to Jos
Verhulst at Kobelco Cranes
Europe. Verhulst claims annual
production at Kobelco is more
than twice that of its nearest
competitor and says that
this year the manufacturer
has increased production by
up to 10%.
For 2006, Verhulst says
that Kobelco Cranes Europe expects to more than
double the number of cranes it sold in 2005.
Recent figures indicate a further strong increase
in sales for 2006, Liebherr says, between 20 and
30% worldwide. Link-Belt in the US says the market
there is up 20% this year over 2005. The forecast
from Terex-Demag in Germany, which specialises
in high capacity crawlers, is that world demand in
2006 for crawlers above 300 tonnes capacity will
be 120 units – around 20% more than 2005.
Liebherr’s new 1,350 tonne capacity LR 11350
on display (lifting an LTR 1100) at the factory in
Germany in June. The first unit is at work in China
and a second unit will also go there. Others will go
to Spain, the Netherlands and Brazil, Liebherr says
The consensus among manufacturers is that
this will continue for the next two or three years
before any downturn may come.
Driving the worldwide demand for larger
crawlers are power generation and petrochemical
expansion and renewal projects. For these what
is in especially high demand are crawlers with
lifting capacities of 1,000 tonnes and higher,
Terex-Demag says.
In response to increasing demand Liebherr has
completed a new hall for crawler manufacture at
its Ehingen plant in Germany where crawler cranes
of more than 300 tonnes capacity are built. The
60 m extension increases covered production
area by 4,500 m2 to 160,800 m2, which should
also help towards minimising delivery times, a
problem for all manufacturers, especially due to
b
component shortages.

Markets
Strongest regions, according to the major
manufacturers, are Asia, the Middle East and the
US. Europe is also good, where, for example, Spain
and the UK are gaining, according to Terex-Demag.
Liebherr’s best market is Asia, mainly China but “we
also see India developing very well,” the company
says. The strongest relative growth is the Near and
Middle East, due to the huge infrastructure projects,
for example, in Dubai.
For the future, the view at Liebherr is that, “We
see a slight increase for North and South America,
a stronger increase for Asia, mainly for India. In
Europe we do not expect demand to increase.”
China
In China, a top market for crawlers, things are
changing fast. The traditionally modest crawler
market has been boosted in recent years by major
construction projects. In the first half of 2006,
212 crawlers were sold, according to Xuzhou
Celebrating the 100th unit of Liebherr’s 400 tonne
capacity LR 1400. Julio Eduardo Simões, president
of Brazilian crane and transport specialist Locar
Transportes Técnicos e Guindastes, was presented
with the company’s third LR 1400 during Liebherr
customer open days at the Ehingen factory in
Germany at the end of June
Heavy Machinery, which recorded a 75% growth
over the same period last year, leading the
industry’s growth rate by nine percentage points.
In the same period Xuzhou says it also exported
22 units, or 71% of all crawler exports from
China, which included two units with more than
100 tonnes capacity.
Production by Chinese manufacturers has
increased from four units ten years ago to 239 units
in 2005, while the total Chinese market amounted
to 420 units, with an annual growth rate of 23.5%,
according to Construction Machinery (CM), IC ’s
partner magazine in China.
Even in 2005 when the industry in China
suffered the impact of economic regulation to
temper the growth rate, the crawler crane sector
grew almost 10%, according to CM. Sales of all
the large machines, however, about 180 units,
were by foreign manufacturers, as these high
capacity crawlers are unavailable from Chinese
manufacturers.
Construction industry economic forecasting
specialist, Off Highway Research, (OHR) reported
that the 2005 crawler market in China is getting
more competitive, with domestic manufacturers
increasingly eroding the share held by importers,
especially below 150 tonnes. Fushan Excavator
has a 45% share and is developing its range up to
350 tonnes, OHR says.
Terex-Demag’s 1,000 tonne capacity CC 5800 seen
in iron for the first time at the launch event last
November
XCMG, Sany, Zoomlion and Puyuan all increased
their penetration, OHR says, while deliveries by
Japanese suppliers fell because of weakening
demand for cranes in the 200 to 300 tonne range.
“At the same time Liebherr, Demag and Manitowoc
b
made advances in the over 300 tonne class.”

An example of the success is that since
introducing it in 1997, Liebherr says it has sold in
China 22 units – almost 25% – of its 400 tonne
capacity LR 1400 crawler. They are used mainly in
the construction of power stations, the manufacturer
says. For more details on Chinese developments in
large crawlers see the box story.
Super size
Manufacturers are offering, or are being asked to
develop, larger cranes to handle larger and heavier
loads but they still need to be easy and economical
to move around. “Crane operators and the industry
in general want bigger and bigger crawler cranes
without sacrificing flexibility,” explains Dr Ulrich
Hamme, engineering director at Liebherr-Werk
Ehingen in Germany. This flexibility that is key to
the success of large crawler cranes is easy and fast
transport, set up and dismantling.
At the top of Liebherr’s range is the 1,350 tonne
(initially projected as a 1,250 tonne) capacity
LR 11350. On the potential for an even larger
model, Hans-Georg Frey, managing director of
Liebherr-Werk Ehingen in Germany, says, “We are
now pushing this machine into the market and will
take it from here. We see what the competition
has done. It is natural to increase capacity. Look at
the [750 tonne capacity Liebherr] LR 1750; a few
years ago nobody would have thought about such
machines but now this is the normal development
High capacity crawlers to dominate in China
China shows great potential in the demand for large crawler cranes, according to Construction Machinery,
IC’s partner magazine in China. Most demand comes from the power industry, where China will focus on
developing 600,000 kW power stations and reduce the number of those less than 200,000 kW. This
policy implies strong demand for 300 to 800 tonne capacity crawlers.
According to Xuzhou Heavy Machinery, the largest producer of mobile cranes in China, by the end of
2006 Chinese manufacturers will be able to offer 10 crawler models in the 100 to 450 tonne range and,
by 2008, this will increase to 800 tonnes. In the meantime, international manufacturers are promoting
their 1,000 tonne class machines. Demand from major construction projects for these machines will
stimulate Chinese industry into developing even larger products.
Domestic manufacturers are quickly improving their technical competence. Xuzhou says it has
enhanced its crawler crane product with 29 key technologies, including rope winching, superlift operation
control, programmed control of machine motion and automatic hydraulic boom back stops.
In the pursuit of higher quality, Xuzhou Heavy Machinery says it has invested in advanced machining
and assembly centres and other modern manufacturing methods. Components including engines,
transmissions and hydraulic valve blocks are sourced outside China.
Following the launch of its first 150 tonne crawler in 2003, in 2005 Xuzhou Heavy Machinery
launched a 300 tonner, the first among Chinese manufacturers. This year, it has introduced 220
and 260 tonne capacity models and, CM understands, will soon complete the design of 450 and
600 tonne crawlers.
Xuzhou “absorbed the advanced technologies for manufacturing crawler cranes from the international
industry,” for example, “up-to-date structure design, gantry technology, light lattice booms with large
capacity, powerful crawler chassis capable of
travelling on a 30 degree slope, CAN-bus, and
electronic proportional control. Multiple boom
combinations are provided with quick erection
devices and a method to simplify reeving.”
The new Xuzhou 220, 260 and
300 tonners can travel with 70% of rated
load and slew 360 degrees with the rated
load. Maximum main boom is 96 m and
the maximum jib combination is 60+57 m
for the 220 tonne model, 66+60 m for the
260 tonner and 60+60 m for the
300 tonner.
The 260 tonner uses a new gantry
plus balance beam structure. Hydraulic pin
connections are used on the boom, slew
unit, carbody and crawlers. For self-erection
the A-frame is self-raising as is the mast,
the crawler frame is self-mounting, the
counterweight is self-loading and boom is
self-erecting. A pressure lubrication system
is used to help durability and reliability and
reduce maintenance. Power comes from
a Euro III diesel engine with electronic
fuel injection.
An XCMG model QUY150 crawler crane
being used to help build the Linyi steel
plant in Shandong province
HB White Canada Corp, the Canadian subsidiary of
Indiana, US-based White Construction US, used a
pair of Manitowoc Model 16000s on the Erie Shores
Wind Farm in Canada to erect 66 wind turbines
with a total capacity of 99 MW. The 80 m turbine
towers are in three sections and the 16000s on
this job had the optional, 95 tonne capacity, 7 m
pin-on upper boom point on their 89 m booms
and we will also go into the higher field. It is too
early to be concrete in this regard but we are looking
at the higher class to see if it makes sense. I want to
look first to see if it takes off so much. These are big
beasts and only a certain number of these machines
are needed in the world.”
Commenting on Terex Cranes’ position in the
crawler sector, Steve Filipov, president, explains,
“We are the market leader in crawlers in product
line and in market share. We have the [Terex
American] IHI from 50 to 275 tons, then the Demag
takes over. Demag goes from 300 tonnes all the
way up to the new model, the 3,000 ton [CC 8800
Twin]. We just sold one of those in the Middle East.
We have a pretty good product line in crawlers
worldwide, not only in North America. The Demag is
selling well in the higher capacities.”
Bearing this out is the success of the
1,250 tonne capacity CC 8800 (now CC 8800-1)
of which 12 units had been delivered by late July
since the first in 2002. The CC 8800 dominates
the Top ten in the Largest single crane category of
the IC50 listing of the world’s largest crane owning
companies (IC June 2006). Four companies in the
top ten have this model as their largest.
And higher capacities is where Terex-Demag’s
focus has been in its latest models, starting with the
400 tonne capacity CC 2400-1 announced in IC last
October. Following this was a tranche of new heavy b

lifters announced in IC December 2005. These
included the CC 5800, CC 6800, CC 8800 Twin
and the CC 2800-1 NT.
The 1,000 tonne capacity CC 5800, shown
in iron for the first time last November, is claimed
by Terex-Demag to be the strongest in the 3 mwide transport class. The CC 6800 is an upgrade
for the CC 5800. Adding a 3.5 m wide boom
increases capacity to 1,250 tonnes. Boom and jib
configurations can be increased to give a maximum
tip height of 260 m.
Also announced was a major upgrade, using
stronger boom sections, of the 1,250 tonne
capacity CC 8800, which results in a basic
capacity of 1,600 tonnes on the CC 8800-1. The
CC 8800 Twin combines two CC 8800s, increasing
maximum capacity to 3,200 tonnes. As its name
suggests, the CC 8800 Twin is a twin boom system
interconnected horizontally.
Another upgrade announced by Terex-Demag
last November was to raise the capacity of the
1,600 tonne CC 12600 to 2,000 tonnes by
adding the containerised power train
concept as for the CC 8800.
New from Hitachi Sumitomo
earlier this year was the 275
tonne capacity SCX2800-2
An important requirement is for
crawlers to be easy to transport between
jobs and easy to move around on site.
Large crawlers designed specifically for
easy manoeuvring on, for example, wind
turbine sites, include narrow track versions
of existing models. Liebherr’s 400 tonne capacity
LR 1400/2-W was first seen in 2004 and now, new
from Terex-Demag, there is the CC 2800-1 NT,
announced last November and first shown in iron
last month (See News).
The new CC 2800-1 NT in the 600 tonne class
can relocate on site fully rigged. The 3.8 m-wide
undercarriage has front and rear outriggers and
one each side for extra sideways stability and these
fold up to the crane upper for narrow access. The
centre of gravity, at 7.3 m, is relatively low, the
manufacturer says.
Major US-based crawler manufacturer
Manitowoc builds crawlers up to 907 tonnes
capacity (the distinctive Model 21000 with eight
crawler units), and many of its large crawler
cranes work on power plant and petrochemical
projects around the world. A recent example is a
600 tonne capacity (750 tonnes here with Max-er
attachment) Model 18000 playing a key role in
conversion work at the Torre Nord power plant in
Civitavecchia, Italy. The 18000 will lift all the major
components, including the steam turbines and the
steel structures that support them.
Philippe Cohet, executive vice president of
Manitowoc Crane Group in the EMEA region,
visited the site. “Being here allows me to see just
Contractor Demont using its Manitowoc Model
18000 crawler for conversion work at the Torre
Nord power plant in Italy where it will be until 2009.
The existing oil-fired systems are being replaced
with steam turbines and a new power station is
being built. The 18000 is working with 79 m of main
boom, 33 m of luffing jib and a capacity-enhancing
Max-er attachment, which increases maximum
capacity from 600 to 750 tonnes. Demont says it
chose the 18000 for its lifting capacity, especially
at long radii, for its compact dimensions, and for
its pick-and-carry duties. The tower crane also in
the picture is a Potain MR 605
what an excellent crane the Model 18000 is for
power plant work,” Cohet says. “This model has
already built dozens of facilities in the Americas
and Asia – on-time and on budget. Contractors in
Europe are now picking up on its market-leading
capabilities and the crane is continuing its global
success in Europe. As the power market becomes
ever more price competitive and deregulated in our
region, we expect to see more of these projects.”
Another large Manitowoc crawler making a
name for itself in power generation is the 16000,
seen outside the US for the first time earlier this
year. “The Model 16000 is fast establishing itself
as the lifting industry’s first choice for wind turbine
installation projects,” explains Allen Kadow, MCG
product marketing manager for lattice boom
cranes. “As the demand for renewable energy
sources grows across the world, I am certain that
b
the Model 16000 will remain at the forefront.”

Down the range
Looking down the capacity range, new
from Hitachi Sumitomo is the 275 tonne
SCX 2800-2, while new from Kobelco this year is the
250 tonne capacity CKE 2500-2, an upgrade of the
2500. Last year in China Zoomlion launched the
200 tonne capacity QUY200 and, in the US, LinkBelt launched its 110 US ton capacity 218 HSL.
Further down the capacity scale another
new model from China last
year was the 70 tonne
capacity Zoomlion QUY70.
New heavy duty models
include the 80 tonne capacity Hitachi Sumitomo
SCX800 HD-2 and the 50 tonne capacity Liebherr
HS 835 HD.
Product development in the crawler sector is
continuing strongly across the capacity range.
Hamme at Liebherr says “other types of crawler
crane are at the development, modification or
planning stages. The necessary capital expenditure
and investment in personnel and materials have
already been approved and implemented for the
realisation of these ambitious
expansion objectives.”
At the Bauma
exhibition early next year
manufacturers will launch
their as-yet unannounced
crawlers. One that IC can
reveal is a new Kobelco
CKE series model in the
100-110 tonne class, with
retractable crawlers, that
will debut in early 2007.
Before that, in October,
Link-Belt will unveil a new
HSL series crawler in the
200 tonne class. Also
in the pipeline in the
200 tonne class is a
new Terex.
All in all, a healthy
number of new products that illustrate the
continuing popularity and value of the
crawler crane concept, especially in the

Moving history
German crane rental house
Scholpp was contracted to
fill the new Mercedes-Benz
museum in Stuttgart with
highlights – some priceless –
from the company’s long history
of automotive engineering
he new Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart
is filled with cars, buses, trucks and engines
from the German company’s 120 year
history. Attractions include a selection of
historic racing cars set on a steep curved track,
a car transporter loaded with various Mercedes
saloons and vintage aircraft fitted with Daimler
engines. There are also original examples of the
first powered Mercedes vehicles from the late 19th
Century, specimens that it would be impossible to
put a price tag on.
The museum was designed by Dutch architect
Ben van Berkel and was described by a director of
Mercedes-Benz Heritage as “perfect as a museum,
but a nightmare in terms of heavy exhibits – we
would rather display stamps in there”
The architecture of the building is a helix design
that links various levels within the outer shell.
Scholpp was responsible for installing exhibits on
three of the levels; the self explanatory Legend and
Collection exhibits and the Fascination Technique,
T
where experimental and concept cars from
Mercedes’ history were to be on show.
In addition to the wide selection of commercial,
sporting and experimental cars to be installed in
the museum, there were trucks, buses and car
transporters, all of which had to enter the museum
at street level. There were also guidelines imposed
by Daimler Chrysler (owner of Mercedes-Benz
and the museum), as well as limitations on the
equipment that could be used inside the museum.
Some of these stipulations included the signing
off of all lifting and transportation plans by a civil
engineer, white non marking tyres on all lifting
and transport machinery, a dead man’s switch
on all equipment to avoid uncontrolled movement
on all powered vehicles and, most importantly, no
exhaust fumes could be produced by the lifting and
transport equipment.
Once these parameters had been met, Scholpp
was faced with another challenge – to meet the
strict weight guidelines laid down by the museum’s
owner. Maximum floor load throughout the museum
was restricted to 350 kg/m2.
To bring the attractions into the museum
at street level, Scholpp used a variety of lifting
devices, including a hydraulic scissorlift, a lift
basket powered by electric winches and an under
bucket air film transport system.
Once inside, the company used its Octopus
crane for many of the installations. The Octopus,
built by Scholpp in 2003, is an HMF knuckle boom
loader crane mounted on a compact chassis. It is
powered either by a diesel engine or battery, which
made it compatible with Daimler Chrysler’s rules
concerning the types of equipment that could be
used in the museum. It was also designed to fit
in an industrial elevator and operate in cramped
conditions, making it particularly suitable for this job.
To install some of the Mercedes racing cars
onto a track with a 60º inclination, Scholpp used
a Lift Systems TG 95 hydraulic gantry to lower the
cars onto the track.
Another challenge was loading a range of
SEC saloon models onto a car transporter. An
extra small gantry was the solution and the cars
that were to be placed on the upper deck of the
transporter were lifted and then rolled into place.
Clearance between the roofs of the cars and the
museum ceiling was 20mm.
Outside the building, a mobile crane from
Scholpp’s fleet was called in to place a statue of
legendary racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio and
the Mercedes-Benz W196 Monoposto that he drove
and dominated Formula One in 1955, the only year
■
it ever raced.

BOOM TRUCKS & T R U C K C R A N ES
The TC 60 L is the first in Terex’s new
range of truck mounted cranes and was
seen for the first time in iron at the
Intermat show in Paris in April
On-road solutions
Boom trucks continue to remain an important part of the lifting
industry, largely in the US, while truck mounted cranes are
enjoying a renaissance in the shape of several new models
from major manufacturers. JAMES VERRINDER examines the latest
developments in the two sectors
ne of the surprises in the industry this
year has been a renewed focus on truck
mounted cranes in manufacturers’
portfolios. Liebherr, Tadano Faun and
Terex, among others, have all announced new truck
mounted models this year.
In Terex’s case, the TC 60 L (IC KHL News,
March 2006) was shown at the Intermat exhibition
in Paris with little build up beforehand. Five units
have already been sold and deliveries will begin
in November this year, according to Jean Pierre
Molenda, general manager at Terex-PPM.
Joining the TC 60 L next year will be the TC 40,
TC 40 L and the TC 60. Built at the PPM factory in
France, the upper of the TC 60 L is similar to that of
the AC 55 all terrain and the crane is designed to
fall well within the 12 tonnes per axle limit.
Liebherr also launched new truck mounted
models this year, which were seen for the first
time in June (IC KHL News, March 2006). Both
the new 35 tonne capacity LTF 1035-3.1 and the
45 tonne capacity LTF 1045-4.1 use elements
of the superstructure design from cranes in the
LTM series of wheeled telescopic mobiles.
O
Liebherr says that its new LTF 1035-3.1 is not a
traditional truck mounted crane. The crane uses
the upper from a Liebherr all terrain crane that is
mounted on a commercial truck chassis
The LTF 1035-3.1, mounted on a three axle
truck, has a superstructure developed from that
of the two axle 35 tonne capacity LTM 1030-2.1
all terrain (30 m boom). The superstructure of the
four axle LTF 1045-4.1 is developed from that of
the new two axle LTM 1040-2 with 35 m boom.
A difference from the LTMs is that the LTFs have
superstructure engines.
The extra axle on the LTF 1035-3.1 and the
two extra axles on the LTF 1045-4.1 allow more
counterweight to be carried than on the related
LTMs. Maximum counterweight at 12 tonnes per
axle on the LTF 1035-3.1 is 5 tonnes and on
the LTF 1045-4.1 it is 9 tonnes as opposed to
2.3 tonnes on the LTM 1030-2.1 and 1.5 tonnes on
the LTM 1040-2.
The new models differ from traditional truck
mounted cranes, according to Hans-Georg Frey,
managing director of Liebherr Werk-Ehingen,
“We don’t have a classic truck crane, we have a
different concept in the form of our LTF cranes
where we have a standard truck chassis with a
standard Liebherr upper structure. [The main
difference is a second engine in the upper
structure.] This combines two things – we are using
existing modules and we have a truck chassis that
is cheaper to buy and to operate. For customers
who do not need the capabilities of RTs or ATs,
customers who travel mainly on the road and where
the travelling is very important, the LTF concept is
ideal. I think there is a market for them and I think
there may be a slight market growth. Reasons
include the fact that AT tyres are very expensive and
also fuel costs are rising, which, in particular in the
small crane class where rates are very low, has had
quite an effect.”
Tadano Faun has also added a new truck
mounted model to its range on standard commercial
chassis (IC KHL News, March 2006). Details of the b

is a matter of fact that
we place great emphasis
on the continuous
further development of our
products. The highest possible
awareness of overall product
quality is the basis of such
progress. Our ropes – fulfilling
the most varied applications –
show just what sort of robustness,
flexibility and endurance can
be achieved; even under the
harshest operating conditions they
lift, transport, support and protect.
Our strengths as developers and
producers of special ropes ensure
optimum performance for you
– even in the most critical
of times.

new model are preliminary but the new HK 40,
available on either three or four axles, will have a
10.45 to 35.2 m four section boom that telescopes
in 105 seconds. A 9 m extension can be offset at 0,
20 or 40°.
Powering the crane will be a four cylinder
88 kW (118 hp) Mercedes-Benz engine. The
three axle version can carry either 2.1 tonnes
(27.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight), 4.5 tonnes
(31 tonnes GVW) or no counterweight (26 tonnes
GVW) while the larger four axle machine carries a
basic 4.5 tonnes of ballast.
China
The truck crane market in China is the largest in
the world, with 10,000 new units sold annually,
according to construction industry analyst
Off Highway Research. As companies
from outside China invest heavily in
setting up subsidiaries and
partnerships there, it is
interesting to see some
Chinese manufacturers
concentrating their efforts
on selling cranes outside
the country. One of these
is Zoomlion, which showed
a new 70 tonne capacity
truck crane at the Intermat
exhibition in Paris earlier
this year.
The QY70V, made by Zoomlion subsidiary
Puyuan, is a four axle machine with a
maximum boom length of 60 m. Product
manager Michael Yao told IC that it has
attracted a lot of interest from potential
customers. Such was the interest in the
new crane that it did not last the entire
week in Paris, as it was bought by
a Brazilian customer who wanted
immediate delivery.
Yao adds that the Chinese
crane market is still showing
strong signs of growth but
the company felt that
it “is more important to start
selling more overseas.”
Major overseas markets
for Zoomlion are
currently the Middle
East and southern
and eastern
Asia, according
to Yao.
Guiffre Bros says
that the Dino 2500
is available for
immediate delivery
The latest addition to Tadano America’s boom
truck line is the 20 ton (18 tonne) capacity
TM20110, which was launched in April

BOOM TRUCKS & TRUCK CRANES
Spanish manufacturer Luna has been producing
cranes on commercial trucks since 1975. Pictured
is the 40 tonne capacity GT-40/32
Also on show at Intermat was a new straight
boom crane for truck mounting from Japanese
manufacturer Furukawa Unic. European distributor
Unic Cranes Europe showed the crane as a potential
alternative to knuckle booms. It was at Intermat to
test market reaction with a view to CE marking it for
sale in Europe.
From the V500 series the new UR-V504 is one
of a range of 1 to 15 tonne capacity Unic models.
Maximum boom length is about 13 m. The one
on show had four hydraulic extensions and would
mount on a 12 tonne gross vehicle weight chassis.
Advantages of this type of crane, Unic says,
include that it is easier to operate than a knuckle
boom, it is simpler and more stable.
The hydraulic extension cylinder and
all mechanisms are contained inside
the boom instead of the exterior
mounting on a knuckle boom. It has a
single double acting cylinder for the
first two sections and cables for the
second two.
The boom is the same as on the Unic mini
crawler range. Boom extension from fully retracted
The Manitex 4596T is claimed to be the largest
capacity boom truck in North America
takes 15 seconds, Unic said, and the maximum
slewing speed is 2.5 min-1. It has a fabricated base
and continuous rotation via a worm drive. Cable
remote control is standard and radio remote is
optional.
If Unic decides to sell the crane in Europe it will
debut at the next Bauma exhibition in Germany
next year.
Boom truck boom
Users and buyers of boom trucks, primarily a
product popular in the US, have been presented
with a wide range of new models to choose from
this year. An interesting factor when looking at the
latest wave of new boom trucks is an increase in
lifting capacity and a shift towards longer booms.
Steve Filipov, president of Terex Cranes, explains,
“We are also seeing that market go to the higher
end, taking away market from the lower capacity
truck cranes, up to 35 to 40 tons.”
Manitex introduced the 45 US ton (40 tonne)
capacity 4596T boom truck in June. The machine
is the largest capacity boom truck in North America
and is designed for heavy duty applications in the
oil sector. The 4596T has a 96 foot (29 m) boom,
a two-stage offsettable jib, and an option for a
second hoist. The subframe has been designed to
haul heavy oil field trailers and related equipment
and remote controlled outriggers (a boom truck first,
according to Manitex) are fitted as standard.
Milwaukee, US-based Giuffre Bros. Cranes, Inc.
has added two new truck-mounted cranes to its
product line. The new 18 ton (16 tonne) Dino 1800
and 25 ton (22 tonne) Dino 2500 are the results of
an exclusive contract between Giuffre Bros. and the
Terex Waverly, IA division. Under a special licensing
agreement, Giuffre Bros. will be the only crane
b
distributor to handle these two new products.
Zoomlion surprised visitors to Intermat by
showing a new 70 tonne capacity truck crane,
the QY70V. The crane did not last the full week at
the show as it was shipped out to a customer in
Brazil, the manufacturer said

“Our customers have been asking for
truck-mounted cranes with more capacity,”
says Dominic Giuffre, vice president of
Giuffre Bros. Cranes. “We worked out
an agreement with Terex that will enable
us to make these products available for
immediate or near-immediate delivery.”
Tadano America’s latest boom truck is
the 20 ton (18 tonne) capacity TM20110,
which was shown for the first time at a
dealer meeting in April. The new model has
110 feet (33 m) of boom and is the largest
boom truck in the company’s product line.
The TM20110 has a new pentagonal
boom design and uses the TM1882
platform. It has a fully proportional fivesection boom reaching a maximum tip
height of 120 feet (36 m). The outrigger
system is out and down with multi-span settings,
allowing the operator to set main frame outriggers in
the straight down position and still have the ability to
handle a load. The advantage to this is for road and

The first BR 400
truck mounted
crane to be
produced as
a result of the
agreement
between Madal
Palfinger in Brazil
and Sennebogen
from Germany was
exhibited at the
M&T Expo in Sao
Paulo, Brazil earlier
this year.
Under the
terms of the
agreement, Madal
Palfinger, the
Brazilian subsidiary of Austria-based loader crane
manufacturer Palfinger, will manufacture a range
of Sennebogen truck cranes designed for mounting
on commercial trucks. Further models will be
produced at a later date
bridge work, where only the traffic lane in which the
truck sits needs to be blocked, leaving other lanes
open for traffic.
This will be the longest boom crane in the
20 ton boom truck class, the company says. The
boom will have 110 feet of horizontal reach without
the need to swing and pin a jib. The crane weighs
approximately 15,300 pounds and has the option
for radio remote control.
New from Elliott Equipment is the 32 ton
(29 tonne) capacity 32105 boom truck, which has a
105 foot (32 m) four section boom. Elliott says that
several patent pending features have been added
to increase both crane and operator productivity.
These include a “ride around” operator control
platform to give the operator the best view of the
load, a thumb throttle engine speed control, which
eliminates the need for a foot throttle, allowing the
operator to have both feet on the platform when
controlling the load, and a remote winch stow that
allows a single operator to stow the crane’s block

and hook after use.

n the United States the federal government offers numerous useful resources for companies
wishing to conduct business internationally. For many SC&RA members the initial challenge is
to identify these resources and how to make the most of them.
That can be tricky. Dan Bumby, SC&RA’s recent Golden Achievement Award winner, relates
that personnel at his local branch of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in Colorado had
been unaware that their own agency offers Export Assistance Centers throughout the nation.
To help our members capitalise on exceptional opportunities in the export marketplace, we
will include a special session at the SC&RA Financial Management Seminar, 11-12 October at
Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, California, US. This session will provide valuable insight on finance
strategies, partnerships and other resources to help ensure your efficiency and success.
I
Panelists will include:
Peter Ballinger, director of business development for small and medium enterprises, US
Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), Washington, D.C. This government agency
helps businesses invest overseas, fosters economic development in new and emerging markets,
complements the private sector in managing risks associated with foreign direct investment, and
supports US foreign policy. OPIC operates on a self-sustaining basis at no net cost to taxpayers
by charging market-based fees for its products.
Sandra Donzella, senior business development officer, Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank, San
Diego, California. As the official export credit agency of the United States, Ex-Im Bank fulfills a
mission of providing assistance in financing the export of US goods and services to international
markets. Rather than competing with private sector lenders, Ex-Im Bank provides products that
fill gaps in trade financing and strives to level the playing field for US exporters. About 85% of its
transactions directly benefit US small businesses.
Julia Rauner Guerrero, senior trade analyst, US Department of Commerce, San Diego
Export Assistance Center, San Diego, California. She is part of a network of export and industry
specialists in more than 100 US cities and more than 80 countries. These trade professionals
provide counselling and a range of products and services to help small and mid-size US
businesses export their products and services. Among her specialities are construction equipment
and architectural, construction and engineering services.
Martin Selander, export development regional manager, U.S. Small Business Administration,
Export Assistance Center, Newport Beach, California. The centres, in major US metropolitan
areas, are promoted as one-stop shops ready to provide small or mid-size business with
local export assistance. SBA professionals provide personalised assistance while providing
links to experts at the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Ex-Im Bank and other public and
private organizations.
For some attendees, The Road to the International Marketplace – a Fertile Area for Growth &
Profit alone makes registration at the Financial Management Seminar a worthwhile investment.
Also at the seminar are other top financial experts covering significant bottom line issues
and strategies.
Workshop participants will learn about key considerations when deciding between purchasing
or leasing equipment, alternative risk financing, tax planning and asset protection, successfully
planning and negotiating terms for transportation and construction contracts, viable financial
strategies for specialized companies, adding value to the employer and employee relationship,
and offering the best possible benefits at a price that companies can afford.
We believe the upcoming Financial Management Seminar is shaping up to be our best
ever. By design, registration will be limited to about 60 participants. This personalised format is
designed to help participants build individual financial plans that capitalise on strengths, overcome
■
weaknesses and focus on areas of opportunity. Register online soon at www.scranet.org

SC&RA signs up to the Drug-Free
Workplace Alliance programme
SC&RA was among five contractor
associations and four unions recently
added by the U.S. Department
of Labor (DOL) to its Drug-Free
Workplace Alliance, an agreement to
improve workplace safety and health
in construction through substance
abuse prevention and intervention.
Labor Secretary Elaine Chao signed
the agreement expanding the Alliance
at a ceremony on 10 July at the new
headquarters of the U.S. Census
Bureau in Suitland, Maryland. Joining
SC&RA as new signatories are:
■ American Road & Transportation
Builders Association
■ Associated General Contractors of
America
■ International Association of Heat
and Frost Insulators and Asbestos
Workers
■ International Union of Painters and
Allied Trades
■ Laborers’ International Union of
North America
■ National Asphalt Pavement
Association
■ NEA – The Association of Union
Constructors
■ Specialized Carriers & Rigging
Association
■ United Association of Journeymen
and Apprentices of the Plumbing
and Pipe Fitting Industry of the
United States and Canada.
The expansion brings the total number
in the Alliance to 13. The Alliance
is led by DOL’s Working Partners
for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free
Workplace programme and managed
cooperatively with DOL’s Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) and Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA).
Activities focus on educating
workers about the importance
of being drug free to improving
workplace safety and sources of help
for workers who have problems with
alcohol or other drugs.
Accomplishments to date include
developing and distributing training
and information; raising awareness
about substance abuse through
industry events and publications;
and identifying and promoting
drug-free workplace best practices.
This fall, the Alliance also plans to
conduct the first “Drug-Free Work
Week” campaign to further heighten
awareness of the benefits of drugfree workplace programs.
DOL established the Alliance
because research shows that

Training programme
named to honour roll
SC&RA has been named to the 2006
Associations Advance America Honor
Roll, a national awards competition
sponsored by the American Society
of Association Executives (ASAE).
SC&RA received the award for its
STANDING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Anne St. Eloi, special representative to the
General President of the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices
of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada;
Robert Hoover, first vice president of the NEA; Vincent Giblin, general
president of the International Union of Operating Engineers; Peter Ruane,
president and CEO of the American Road and Transportation Builders
Association; James McCourt, general secretary-treasurer of the International
Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers Union.
SITTING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Gary Fore, vice president for environment
and safety, National Asphalt and Pavement Association; Ken Rigmaiden,
executive general vice president of the International Union of Painters and
Allied Trades; Secretary Chao; Doug Williams, president of the Specialized
Carriers and Rigging Association; and Joe Fowler, executive director of the
Laborers Health and Safety Fund of North America
Pilot Car Escort Training Program.
Now in its 16th year, the
Associations Advance America
Awards programme recognizes
associations that propel America
forward – with projects in education,
skills training, standards setting,
business and social innovation,
knowledge creation, citizenship,
and community service. Although
association activities have a powerful
impact on everyday life, they often
go unnoticed by the general public,
according to ASAE.
“It is an honour and an inspiration
to showcase SC&RA’s programme as
an example of the many contributions
associations are making to advance
American society,” said Associations
Advance America committee chair,
Bill Bergman, CAE and president of
William S. Bergman Associates.
SC&RA prepared the guidelines
with the Commercial Vehicle Safety
Alliance under a grant from the
Federal Highway Administration.
More than a dozen states have
indicated they will use the Pilot Car
Best Practices Training Program in
part or in its entirety for programmes
being established or refined.
The training programme includes
the Pilot Car Escort: Best Practices
Guidelines, Pilot Car Escort Training
Manual, Pilot Car Escort Study
Guide, and Pilot Car Escort Training
PowerPoint Presentation. Each
component can be used individually
or in conjunction with one or more
of the others. This format offers
flexibility to meet the needs of
a range of companies – from the
one employee pilot car operation
to more complex multi-state
operations. Also included is the
separate Law Enforcement Escort
Best Practices Guidelines.
SC&RA continues to seek
additional opportunities to enhance
this programme. The Best Practices
Guidelines for Equipment, now in
its final draft, will provide a basic
training guide for pilot car companies
and carriers concerning the preferred
equipment for the safe transport of
over-dimensional cargo.
The Pilot Car Best Practices
Training Program is available on the
SC&RA web site at www.scranet.org.
Click the “SC&RA Store” button at
the top of the page. It is listed in
the Technical and Reference Items
section and can also be ordered
by fax at: +1 703 698-0297 or by
phone at: +1 703 698-0291. The
entire programme costs $7.95 for
SC&RA members and $9.95 for
non-members.

Foundation to fund permit study
The SC&R Foundation has awarded a $25,000 grant for a study to
address how the lack of uniformity in state, county, and municipal permit
requirements affects the specialized transportation industry. Thousands of
municipalities in the US require separate permits, causing SC&RA members
to lose time and money and risk non-compliance. The resulting fines and
restrictions amount to millions of lost dollars annually for the industry.
A 50-state process was deemed overly broad in scope, so the study
will target a state in each of three regions and explore official permitting
processes of its counties and municipalities. SC&RA members will then
have a tool to present to state and federal officials to show ways that lack
of coordination among the permitting authorities results in duplicative,
counterproductive, and burdensome permit requirements.
Coordinating the study is SC&RA Transportation Truck Permit Policy
Task Force. The not-for-profit SC&R Foundation exists to benefit specialized
carriers, crane, rigging, and millwrighting industries by providing education
and specialized industry research.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GOING UP!
EQUIPM ENT AND ACCESSORIES
Kevlar for longlife crane brakes
and clutches
High-speed
cables for
Antwerp
cranes
The Rheyfirm (RTS) medium
voltage cable available from
Nexans will be modified
for installation on four
high-speed travelling
gantry cranes on the
new Duerganck Dock
in Antwerp Gateway
Terminal. Nexans said
the data and power
transmission cables
incorporate optical fibre
with mono and multimode
functionality to meet
anticipated future capacity
demands at the port.
Valve without
leaks or drift
The VO40 open centre
directional control valve offers
a lock valve section option
designed for applications where
it is a requirement that there is no
function drift or leakage. Rated at
40 litres/min and 300 bar, the valve
is a slotted design that allows up to ten
sections to be stacked together.
Contamination and corrosion of
the spool and spool seal area is
eliminated by an enclosed handle,
according to manufacturer Parker
Hannifin. Larger seals throughout
are said to reduce
problems caused
by incorrect
assembly or
restacking.
IC 0Aug06 E&A.indd 53
www.gruppomanservigi.it
A Kevlar lining for crane clutch plates and brake
pads, which is claimed to give three to
five times longer life, is now available
from Tribco. The Clutchtex and
Braketex linings, which can also be
fitted on electric motors and hoists,
are claimed by the manufacturer to
be non-abrasive and to eliminate the
dust created by traditional linings.
Battery charging
by remote control
Equipment in remote or hostile conditions can now
be monitored and recharged remotely using the
VE100RM fuel cell system from the Voller Energy
Group. The system, which is accessed via Voller
software over a GPS phone link, uses hydrogen to
produce electricity and automatically recharges the
batteries when they drop below a preset voltage.
The compressed hydrogen gas can be contained in
a standard cylinder or the Voller refillable canister,
which stores hydrogen at low pressure dissolved in
a metal hybride salt and is mounted on the unit.
Valve coil
to resist
snow, mud
and water
A new encapsulated valve coil
from Sauer-Danfoss, designed
for off-highway applications, is
claimed to resist immersion in snow,
mud and water, while tolerating voltage
extremes and high temperatures. The design
of the coil includes a solid metal frame around
the protective plastic layer, which is designed to
provide chemical protection and has an IP69K
protection rating.
The ambient temperature rating for
continuous duty operation is –40 °C to +71 °C
and the input voltage tolerance runs from 75 to
133% of nominal. Electrical connections may
be either the Metri-Pak 150 series Type 1, the
Deutsch DT04-2P or 18 in lead wires.

Bill Green of PLC Sales in the UK
spotted this unusual hybrid while he
was on a fishing holiday in Havana,
Cuba in early July.
As the picture shows, it is a knuckle
boom crane mounted on a pair of
crawler tracks and carbody. Green
said that he believes the knuckle
boom “might be an early National
model” but was unable to positively
identify it or the lower half of the
machine. He does, however, think
that the crawler base is also of US
origin as it is not fitted with grouser
type track shoes.
The crane was being used to help
construct a harbour wall.

ECONOMIC WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION
At last, an accurate wind speed and direction system
at a sensible price. This professional low cost
system utilises ultrasonic technology - there are
no moving parts, so it can be left in place for long
periods of time. There is no reduction in accuracy
due to wear, which reduces costly calibration and
maintenance and it is far less susceptible to particles
in the air, such as salt, chemicals etc.
Data is viewed via a dedicated display unit with a
clear backlit LCD or direct to a computer.
An aluminium mounting mast, junction box and
cabling ensure a quick and easy installation.
