Great Lakes Brewing Company Takes on Challenging Expansion

Cleveland, Ohio’s Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC) producesa variety of year-round and specialty “seasonal” beers which are verypopular around the Great Lakes region, and, where available, through-out the rest of the country.

GLBC has been growing by leaps and bounds, and the decision wasmade back in late 2013 to undertake a $7 million expansion of the brew-ery’s tanks in 2014. “The decision was based on our 20 percent growthin 2013, plus future plans to expand to new markets, while meetinggrowing demand in existing markets,” said Greg Lemermeier, managerof engineering and technology of GLBC.

The challenge? The brewery is in a tightly packed, urban area, and thefour new tanks would be installed on the edge of a busy parking lot.There would be close-by buildings, vehicles and overhead power linesto tackle in this project.

The project would take an entire year in planning and execution, andwas handled in phases during the summer of 2014. Superior Erectionwas called on first to assist with rigging and setting the new tanks. First,two new 600 bbl (18,000 gal. [68,137 L]) Brite storage tanks, whichhold finished beer that is ready for packaging, were to be installed. Eachwas twice the size of the brewery’s older storage tanks, literally quadru-pling the brewery’s storage capacity. The two tanks are expected to lasttwo to three years, depending on future expansion.

For the next phase, four new 600 bbl fermentation tanks would beinstalled. The new fermenters would hold the brewery’s most popular,high-volume beers.

Because finished beer has to be chilled when stored, and with anincreased need for cooling due to the new tanks, the brewery had toupgrade to a new chiller, first removing the two old ones from the brew-ery’s roof. Superior installed the steel work and rigged the new, massivechiller into place, which was three times the size of the two old chillerscombined.

To install the new Brites, fermenters and chiller, the brewery neededto take over part of the adjacent parking lot. Superior and GLBC workedwith the lot’s owners on scheduling temporary closure of the lot, includ-ing compensation for lost parking revenue during that time. They alsohad to work around the schedule of the nearby, West Side Market, a des-tination for locals and out-of-towners alike.

Because of the size of the tanks and the nature of work to be per-formed in lifting and setting them into place, GLBC and Superiorobtained numerous permits, escorts, and even permission to close near-by roads at times, to ensure safety of visitors, cars and other businessesin the area. And they were on a tight timeline — permits could only beissued for a day at a time, so when closures were in place, the team hadto work quickly.

For the Brite tanks and fermenters, Superior used a 250-ton (226.8 t)Grove GMK crane with a 50-ton (45 t) Grove TMS acting as an assistcrane in lifting and tilting each tank into the upright position with a tight,125-ft. (38 t) radius. The 250-ton crane then set the tanks up vertically,and lowered each through the roof’s open hatch onto wheeled skates.Once set upright, they were wheeled into their final positions.

Everything went as planned, and the brewery proceeded with the restof the project, including new electrical work and mechanical install ofprocess piping. The new tanks were operational just before Christmas of2014.

“This was our first time working with Superior. They were recom-mended by a general contractor and were great to work with,” saidLemermeier. “Through the various stages of the project, they have hadseveral different crews out and all have been professional, efficient andvery flexible with the various changes and surprises that tend to come upon complex projects. They also were very safety conscious, and alwaysfollowed our safety guidelines. We plan on working with them in thefuture.”

As GLBC’s popularity continues to expand, the increased capacityhas helped ensure that the future is bright for the brewery — and thatcold beer flows freely from the taps.

Superior Erection was called on first to assist with rigging and set-ting the new tanks.

Connolly Saves Fourth FireworksShow With Help From Link-Belt

For years, the pristine community of Incline Village, Nev., has provid-ed the perfect backdrop for one of the largest Independence Day fire-works displays in the United States — on the north end of Lake Tahoe.

Connolly Crane has had the honor for many years of placing bargesin the lake from which the fireworks are set off and the pyrotechnics arethe culmination of the “Red, White and Tahoe Blue” celebration.

But the California drought threatened this year’s event. The water level in Lake Tahoe is at its lowest point since 1992, which

presented quite the challenge for Gardnerville, Nev.’s Connolly Crane.The receding water at the boat ramp at Ski Beach would require thebarges to be moved a radius of more than 100 ft. (30.5 m) from the trail-ers they would be brought in on. Three of the four barges weighed morethan 21,000 lbs. (9,525.44 kg) each and a fourth weighed in at 12,000lbs. (9,525.44 kg).

But that wasn’t the only problem. Incline Village is known as a playground and tax haven for wealthy

Californians — some of the more famous residents include MichaelMilken, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison, Aaron Rogers and Mike Love, toname a few. And they don’t like noise and disruption. Their communityorganization IVGID (Incline Village General Improvement District) was

created to keep such activities that would cause these to a minimum.

In addition, there also was the far from crane-friendly tight, winding,

tree-lined road leading to the beach, as well as the limited timeframe

required for both set up and tear down.

Connolly Crane has relied on its Link-Belt RTC 8090 for the past five

years, but owner Kelly Connolly knew that the crane would not handle

the increased radius caused by the drought this year. Luckily, Connolly

had been introduced to the Link-Belt ATC 3210 at ConExpo 2014 and

had spent the past year working with Link-Belt and its dealer, Nixon-

Egli, to order and customize the model to meet his company’s specific

needs.

The 210-ton (190.5 t) capacity crane, which would become the largest

in his fleet, arrived just in time for the “Red, White and Tahoe Blue”

event, with mere days to spare.

Connolly put the crane right to work and he said the crane performed

flawlessly.

“This was a very tight job site,” said Connolly. “The coordinated front

back steering was crucial or we would not have maneuvered in there.”

Less support was needed to accompany the crane to a job, which

impressed Connolly.

“We got there faster, with fewer trucks and personnel than before,” he

said.

“It [ATC 3210] does everything Link-Belt said it would do,” said

Operator Travis Phillips. “We took the second load to 90 percent of load

chart and the crane handled it very well.”

In addition to performance, comfort was at an all-time high with the

Photo/DronePro TahoeLake Tahoe provided a beautiful backdrop for the crane’s firstjob. Representatives of Nixon-Egli, who sold the crane toConnolly, were on hand to assist.

crane’s cab.

The ATC 3210 was a pleasure to drive the 35 miles or so of winding

road from Gardnerville to Incline Village, Phillips said. “The crane is

very smooth. It felt good at 62 mph with the dolly behind it.”

Due to the combined performance, capacity, transportability and

comfort of Link-Belt’s ATC, in conjunction with Connolly Crane’s team,

a job that could have ended up in disappointment for thousands of fire-

works viewers was completed in the nick of time.

During Connolly’s almost 30 years in business, crane technology has

changed and so has his business. But Connolly’s philosophy has not.

“We continue to be solution driven,” he said. “We are committed to

having the right equipment and the right personnel for the job.”

That he proved on this job. But he also credits Nixon-Egli.

“The folks at Nixon-Egli were key to this whole thing,” he said,

whose relationship with the dealer goes back to the company’s first pur-

chase, an RTC 8070. “Mark Lomas, our salesman, Dana Randle, their

vice president of sales, and Vern Gunderson, the general sales manager,

were all great.”

“I love Nixon-Egli … it is all about service with them,” Connolly

said. “When I call them and say ‘crane down,’ it means something —

they react. If it’s in the middle of the night, they are on the way. Their

parts guy Randy Davis has bailed us out many times in the middle of the

night. He has personally driven 100 miles at midnight to bring us a part.”

About Connolly CraneKelly Connolly founded Connolly Crane in 1986. After years of

working as a crane operator, he decided to take the next step, purchasing

a Grove TM180 and venturing out on his own. His company grew

steadily over the next couple of decades and became known fondly

around the West as “the mountain crane people.”

The company grew rapidly in the early 2000s and has quickly

become a major player in the crane industry in northern Nevada and

adjacent California. His company employs 12 people and has a fleet of six cranes, includ-

ing a Link-Belt HTT867 and an HTT86100 along with Manitex andNational cranes.

Contractor Banks on Maeda Mini-CraneBrickell, an urban neighborhood in Miami, is

referred to as the “Manhattan of the South,” with thelargest concentration of international banks in theUnited States. Brickell City Centre is a $1.05 billionmixed-use development strategically located in thecenter of the Brickell financial district. The contractorswere able to fill-in where the tower cranes left off on theEast Tower project with a Maeda MC 405. As the towernears completion, one of the tower cranes was removedleaving an area inaccessible with steel, glass and curtainwall construction still needing crane service. The solu-tion was to place the Maeda with five-section telescop-ing boom on the roof. At 13,000 lbs. (5,896.7 kg) themini-crane passed the weight requirement. Its 67 ft. 10in. (20.7 m) lift height, with fly jib option, and 8,480-lb.(3,846.4 kg) maximum capacity met all the liftingdemands. With 54-in. (137.1 cm) width, it also wasable to maneuver on the roof and other floors with self-powered rubber tracks to keep the project on schedule.

Rocket Crane Uses Link-Belt ATC-3275 toLift 130,000-Pound Steel Shear in St. Paul

In 1945, Perry B. Hanson started his Minneapolis, Minn., crane com-pany with an H-3 Bucyrus-Erie Co. crane with clam shell attachmentsto dig and set underground storage tanks. Nearly 70 years later, Hanson’sRocket Crane Service Inc. has several new Link-Belt crane models,including an ATC-3275 all-terrain crane the company purchased in early2013 just before Mr. Hanson retired after nearly 70 years in the cranebusiness. Today, the company is run by his two sons, Paul and Pat.

“Even though we got it primarily for the 275-ton capacity, the 3275can also be rented at a lower capacity 165-ton, 200-ton or even a 250-ton crane. We did not have that capability before,” said Pat Hanson.

Recently at Northern Metals Recycling Company, Hanson put theATC-3275 to work by relocating a 140,000 lb. (58,967 kg) MetsoLindemann LS600 steel shear from its temporary location to a new sta-tionary site at the recycling facility. The 3275 allowed for a change in theoriginal plans (a tandem lift using two cranes and a transport truck) sincespace at the recycling facility was limited.

“It’s tough to work with multiple pieces of equipment in a smallerspace, said Paul Hanson. “One crane capable of the lift is better in a con-fined area, and eliminates a tricky tandem lift that would have to be doneseveral times to get the shear to its final destination.”

Other concerns were soft, uneven, sloped ground conditions, alongwith imbalance of the large shear with its extended, housed, 15-ft. (4.5m) cylinder. The shear load was eventually rated at 144,000 lbs.(65,317.3 kg) rigged, and swung at a 30 ft. (9.1 m) radius. Once the shear

was placed on the reinforced concrete piles with embedded steel plates,the shear could be properly powered, maintained, stabilized and leveledfor long-term use. The shear, with 5,400-psi strength, is capable of cut-ting up to 3-in. (7.62 cm) thick steel into 2 to 4-ft. (.6 to 1.2 m) lengths(e.g. rebar or demolished bridge steel).

A Potain MD 485 B M20 tower crane on the site of a new housingproject along the Chicago riverfront — a 50-story apartment towerdubbed Wolf Point West. The job is unique, with much of the building’sframework needing to be lifted and placed over the river’s flowingwaters where its north and south branches meet.

The joint venture includes Chicago, Ill., based McHugh ConstructionCo. and Clark Construction Group, Chicago LLC., is in charge of theconstruction. The MD 485 B, which arrived in June of last year, wasneeded for its reach and capacity, according to Patrick McGarvey, proj-

ect manager of McHugh.“This is a very difficult and extensive project that spans the Chicago

River,” McGarvey said. “The reach of the MD 485 B M20’s 262.5 footjib was needed for the challenging task of laying the formwork out overthe water.”

The tower crane is lifting a variety of materials, such as 50 ft. (15 m)steel columns, table forms, large air handlers, cooling towers, chillers,boilers and steel stairs —essentially if it needs to be lifted for the proj-ect, the MD 485 B M20 is handling the work. Some of the lifts weighup to 13.5 tons (12.2 t), which are easily handled by the crane’s 22-ton(19.9 t) capacity.

The Wolf Point project is on a fast-track timetable, with a new floorbeing added every three days, so the MD 485 B M20’s Optima controls,

which provide smooth speed changes and high productivity, are essen-tial to keep the project on pace.

“The MD 485’s four-part line is also very helpful for the magnitudeof this project,” McGarvey said. “We had heavy steel columns that need-ed to be moved from the truck to the laydown yard, and then placed onthe river walk. The crane was critical to getting the steel structure intoplace.”

McHugh Construction rented the MD485 from Central ContractorsService. Central is part of the ALL Family of Companies, North

America’s largest privatelyheld crane rental and salescompany, according to thecompany, with 37 branchesacross the United States andCanada.

John Martello, generalmanager of CentralContractors, with twobranches in the Chicago area,touted the features of thecrane.

“The MD 485 B M20 canhoist 22 tons at a time andmove a load up to 735 feetper minute — that’s impres-sive and made this an idealcrane for the job.”

The Potain MD 485 BM20 will be on site untilJune of 2015. The residentialbuilding will be completed inFebruary 2016, providing500 luxury rental apartments.The LEED certified towerwill be accompanied by twoother mixed-used buildings atthe Wolf Point plaza.

Chicago-based James McHugh Construction Co. was founded in1897. McHugh developed its specialties: high-rise concrete constructionand complex, large-scale projects for both the private and public sectors.

Clark Construction Group was founded in 1906, and is headquarteredin Bethesda, Md. The company has been building in Chicago for the pasttwo decades. The company’s northern region has successfully deliveredmore than $5 billion of work, including some of the region’s mostprominent landmarks. Clark’s local profile boasts an array of uniqueprojects, including massive convention centers, 60-story skyscrapers,sophisticated laboratories, an extensive military recapitalization and aprofessional ballpark.

In support of the National Commission for the Certification of CraneOperators’ (NCCCO) policy of providing calculators for certain CCOwritten exams, Manitowoc Cranes has agreed to provide 10,000 calcu-lators for candidates’ use.

Basic calculators are supplied for CCO mobile crane operator special-ty exams, digger derrick operator, rigger level II, mobile crane inspector,mobile crane lift director and tower crane lift director exams.

“Manitowoc is delighted to show its support of CCO certificationprograms and the safety benefits that certification brings,” said LarryWeyers, president of Manitowoc Cranes. “This important sponsorshipopportunity demonstrates Manitowoc’s commitment to NCCCO’s pri-mary mission of promoting safe lifting practices.”

Under the terms of Manitowoc’s sponsorship, candidates will be per-mitted to keep the calculators after completing their exam(s).

Since the policy allowing calculators on specific tests went into effectthree years ago, NCCCO has given away more than 45,000 calculatorsto certification candidates. For security reasons, only NCCCO-suppliedcalculators are permitted to be used on CCO examinations. Candidatesusing computer-based testing are provided with an on-screen calculator.

NCCCO began allowing calculators on specific exams following a

study conducted by International Assessment Institute (IAI), the compa-ny that provides test development and administration services toNCCCO. The study, The Effects of Calculator Use During NCCCOTesting, concluded that, while the use of calculators would not be appro-priate for use on basic math questions contained in CCO core exams,their use would be supportable on load chart calculations used on CCOspecialty exams.

Manitowoc was the first sponsor of the NCCCO calculator programand, to date, has provided more than 30,000 calculators for use by CCOcandidates. Manitowoc’s calculator sponsorship is only one part of itssupport of NCCCO’s 20th anniversary.

“We’re delighted that, in NCCCO’s 20th anniversary year,Manitowoc has once again agreed to make this major investment in sup-port of CCO certification,” said Ellis Vliet, NCCCO commission chair-man. “NCCCO strives to maintain the highest possible standards ofquality, integrity and fairness in testing, and our calculator policy, whichpermits candidates to keep the calculators for use in their daily work, isdirectly in line with that goal.”

A Show of Strength: Terex CranesLift Steel Bridge in Switzerland

To lift a 974-ton (884 t), 531 ft. (162 m) long connecting bridge

between two buildings at the Coop distribution center in Schafisheim,

Switzerland, crane service provider Toggenburger used the two largest

cranes available in the country: Its Terex CC 2400-1 and CC 2500-1 lat-

tice boom crawler cranes.

“The individual bridge components had enormous gross weights of

up to 275 tonnes and required us to use working radii of up to 29 meters,

which made it absolutely necessary to use the largest crawler cranes

available in all of Switzerland — our Terex CC 2400-1 and CC 2500-1

duo,” said Toggenburger + Co AG Project Manager André Huber.

The two cranes first needed to be transported to the work site in

Schafisheim, which took a total of 48 trucks. Once there,

Toggenburger’s experienced team and the ease of assembly of both

cranes made it possible to set up the units in a mere two and a half days

despite the limited space available and the fact that delivery operations

continued at the premises. For the upcoming lifts, the seven-person team

set up the CC 2400-1 crane with an SSL configuration featuring a main

boom length of 157 ft. (48 m), a counterweight of 176 tons (160 t), a cen-

tral ballast of 44 tons (40 t), and an SL counterweight of 265 tons (240

t). The CC 2500-1 crane was configured almost identically. The only dif-

ference: The SL counterweight for the CC 2500-1 weighed 275 tons

(250 t). A 143-ton (130 t) hydraulic crane was used as an assist crane.

Complex Lift ChoreographyThe way the premises were laid out made it impossible to lift the two-

level bridge as a single unit over the road between the two buildings, so

the manufacturer delivered the steel structure in the form of individual

components instead. These components were welded together into a

total of seven bridge elements at the work site. These elements were then

placed on the bridge’s three piers in five lifts.

“This required an extraordinary level of precision, since the toler-

ances for joining the individual elements were a matter of millimeters,”

said Toggenburger + Co AG’s Michael Dudler, who oversaw the project

together with Huber.

Special yokes were fabricated in order to pick up the elements. The

design behind these yokes made it possible not only to attach hoist

cables to them with shackles, but also to implement the complex

approach used to align the bridge elements. This approach consisted of

two elements being lifted simultaneously, with one element being rigid-

ly rigged to one of the two cranes while the other crane supported an

arrangement with 154 tons (140-t) strand jacks placed at three rigging

points between the hoist cables and the yoke. These strand jacks, in turn,

made it possible to precisely control the lateral and longitudinal position

of the second element using hydraulic power. In addition, the bridge ele-

ments’ size made it necessary for the Toggenburger team to use Genie

aerial work platforms to rig the load-securing equipment.

“Despite the sophisticated setup we had for maneuvering the loads,

we were a little worried, because any strong winds would have prevent-

ed us from performing the lifts,” Dudler said.

The anxiety proved to be unwarranted, as the weather was magnifi-

cently inviting on both lifting days, with the result being that several hun-

dred people gathered on the morning of Feb. 14 to watch the spectacu-

lar first two lifts at the site.

The Terex CC 2400-1 crawler crane started off by picking up double

element 1/2 directly from the assembly site at a working radius of 59 ft.

(18 m). The crane then proceeded to lift the element, which had a total

length of 182 ft. (55.5 m) and weighed 303 tons (275 t) together with the

corresponding load-securing devices, to a height of 39 ft. (12 m) before

safely putting it down on the piers. During this operation, the crane oper-

ated at approximately 97 percent of its capacity. Meanwhile, the CC

2500-1 crane was responsible for bringing bridge element 3, which was

134 ft. (41 m) long and had a gross weight of 275 tons (250 t), to its

installation position. A modular trailer was used to move the element for-

ward from the assembly site, after which the crane picked it up at a

working radius of 59 ft. (18 m), lifted it, and set it down at the intended

position. In this case, the crane operated at 74 percent of capacity. With

this, the lifts planned for the day were completed as scheduled and the

first half of the span — all the way to the center pier — was in place.

“Afterwards we moved the cranes about a hundred meters forward so

that they would be in place for the next day,” said Huber.

When Sunday morning came, the team was prepared to carry out the

remaining lifts. The CC 2400-1 crane lifted element 4, which had a

length of 24 ft. (22 m), weighed 104 tons (95 t) and required load-secur-

ing equipment weighing 22 tons (20 t) — at a working radius of 31.9 ft.

(29 m). Bridge elements 5/6, which were nearly 160 ft. (49 m) long and

had a gross weight of 264 tons (240 t), were left to the CC 2500-1 crane,

which used a working radius of 82 ft. (25 m) and operated at 83 percent

of capacity to safely put them in place. Finally, the two crawler cranes

left the 19.2-ton (17.5 t) final element 7 to the assist crane, which com-

pleted the final lift perfectly on schedule.

“When you have the right machines, a good team, and professional

planning, even the most demanding projects become routine. Of course,

you’re still relieved at the end when everything goes smoothly.” said

Huber and Dudler.

New Infrastructure Projects toSupport Rapid Growth in Kuwait

Highway infrastructure projects positively impact a growing commu-nity in multiple ways. The projects reduce congestion, allowing theincreasing number of commuters to get to their destinations faster andmore safely. These projects also boost commerce with other municipal-ities in the region, contributing to the success and sustained growth of acity.

The state of Kuwait has experienced significant growth over theyears, in part due to an influx of people emigrating from other countries,and the epicenter of this expansion is Kuwait City. The state is currentlyinvesting in a highway expansion project that runs close to Kuwait City.While it will ease congestion, this new roadway more importantlyexpands a highway network that will facilitate the growth of interregion-al and international trade with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)Countries.

However, it takes a lot of manpower and companies such as heavylifting contractor Integrated Logistics Company, with its Terex liftingequipment, to complete these projects and turn the highways into a real-ity.

Quick MobilizationThis state expansion project includes a number of bridge spans and

interchanges with crossing roads. One such span near Kuwait Cityrequired the placement of a 220.5-ton (200-t) steel girder beam to sup-port the bridge span. Due to the length of the beam, installation requireda tandem lift.

The bridge’s contractor called on Integrated to perform the delicateoperation.

“After studying the lift’s requirements, we immediately knew ourTerex AC 1000 and AC 500-2 all terrain cranes were the right machinesfor the job,” said Saleh Al Huwaidi, CEO of Integrated. “They have thecapacity needed to safely install the beam, and they are quickly driven tothe job site and are very maneuverable.”

Maneuverability was key for this pick, as both the jobsite and sur-rounding area were congested.

Both the eight-axle AC 500-2 crane, with its 183.7-ft. (56-m) boom,and the nine-axle AC 1000 crane, with its 164-ft. (50 m) boom, weredriven from Integrated’s yard in Kuwait to the project site with the mainboom installed. This significantly shortened crane set up time at the siteand saved the company money.

“Our eight-man crew was able to install the counterweight, rig thecranes and have them ready for the lift in one day,” said Al Huwaidi.

The compact design of the two Terex cranes helped Integrated toquickly maneuver the city streets and congested job site. All-axle steer-ing of the AC 1000 crane allowed the operator to effortlessly position the1,320-ton (1,200-t) crane for the lift.

Twenty flatbed trailers transported 428 tons (388 t) of counterweightplus accessories to the site over a two-day period. To simplify counter-weight installation, Terex standardizes the weight and shape of thesesegments, so the same counterweight will work on either the AC 500 orAC 1000 crane.

“Our counterweight design allows the same weights to be used on allour superlift class crawler cranes as well as all terrain crane models rang-ing from the AC 350 to the AC 1000,” said Christian Kassner, seniormanager sales and customer support of Terex Cranes. “This reducestransportation costs and simplifies counterweight logistics.”

Tandem LiftCarrying half the beam load, the AC 1000 crane was rigged with 252

tons (228 t) of counterweight and a 275- ton (250 t) hook block. Crewsused 84.6 ft. (25.8 m) of main boom length at a 29.5-ft. (9 m) workingradius to initially pick up the 13.1 by 6.6 ft. (4 by 2 m) beam. For instal-lation, the crane lifted the beam to 26.2-ft. (8-m) at a 55.8-ft. (17 m)radius.

“Even with the weight of the beam at this radius, the AC 1000 cranewas at less than 73 percent of safe working load [SWL],” said Kassner.

The other half of this dynamic crane duo, the 600-ton (500 t) capaci-ty AC 500-2 crane began lifting its 132.5-ton (102.2 t) total lift weightusing 78.7 ft. (24 m) of main boom at a 24.6-ft. (7.5 m) working radius.Equipped with 176 tons (160 t) of counterweight, the crane easily hoist-ed the beam into position at a 41-ft. (12.5 m) radius, safely operating atless than 82 percent of SWL.

Crews successfully installed the 220-ton (200-t) bridge girder beamand began their work to de-rig both the AC 1000 and AC 500-2 all ter-rain cranes. Within a week of leaving the yard, both cranes were back atIntegrated’s facility and ready for the next project.

“We chose to use mobile cranes for the project, since they are betterfor a single lift,” said Al Huwaidi. “We chose the Terex cranes becausethe service is excellent and reliable, and Terex provides strong technicalsupport to our maintenance team.”

Manitowoc Launches New PotainMDT CCS City Tower Crane Range

Manitowoc has officially launched the latest that Potain has to offer

from its comprehensive range of MDT City cranes.

Unveiled to customers and press at an event at Manitowoc’s facility

in St Pierre de Chandieu, France, the new range of Potain tower cranes

features Manitowoc’s latest crane control system (CCS). The range

includes the MDT 109, MDT 139, MDT 189 and MDT 219, all evolu-

tions of previous MDT City cranes, ranging from 180 to 213 ft. (55 to

65 m), and hoisting capacities from 6.6 to 11 tons (6 to 10 t).

“We are at the forefront of tower crane development and our control

system will demonstrate this,” said Jean-Noel Daguin, SVP of Potain

tower cranes. “For years we have built tower cranes that are easy to

assemble, available in flexible configurations and simple to use. We are

now entering a new generation of tower cranes, with the highest level

performance available. Our worldwide engineering teams worked over

several years to make this new crane concept a reality. Now they are bet-

ter than ever, with features that surpass all performances currently avail-

able in the tower crane market.”

The MDT CCS City cranes allow complex multi-crane installations

by considerably reducing the height gaps and interference of cranes on

work sites. The assembly, erection, transport and even maintenance

times are reduced, helping to keep operating costs low. The new CCS

City range will be available for delivery in late 2015.

Manitowoc Crane Control System (CCS)The new Manitowoc crane control system featured on the MDT CCS

City range helps to get more work done faster, and with great precision.

The user-friendly crane control system will be progressively installed on

all new Potain tower cranes, achieving a high level of comfort, ergonom-

ic control and lifting capacity.

With CCS, it takes no more than 15 minutes to commission the crane

on site. Setting the limit switches, load limiter and moment limiter are all

done on-screen from within the cab — increasing productivity and get-

ting the crane to work faster.

Precision, Control and Increased Load CurvesPotain’s premium Ultraview Cab, now equipped with the CCS,

enhances driver ergonomics and comfort and provides more precise

crane control. The new Potain Plus function enables driver versatility

and productivity, offering precision control and increased load curves. In

the Potain Plus mode, CCS limits dynamic effects by automatically

adapting speed and acceleration to further optimize the load curve.

SafetyWith the new CCS, Potain tower cranes will meet or exceed applica-

ble European safety standards. The system monitors itself in real time,

ensuring proper operation of the crane, and a seat sensor prevents the

crane from being operated unless the operator is present.

Standardized Cabs and Control SystemsAll Potain MDT, MD and MR range cranes will use the same cab and

control systems, making them easier to commission, operate and main-

tain, saving time and resources, as well as simplifying training for oper-

ators and technicians. The standardized cab and sensors allow for

improved efficiencies in spare parts.

Easy Maintenance and MonitoringAn integrated diagnostics tool offers easy monitoring of the crane set-

tings, operations and service maintenance, saving costs and reducing

downtime. The system also features a remote function, CraneSTAR

Diag, allowing technicians to monitor the crane at distance in real time.

Benefits of the new MDT CCS City range:

• Fast and easy set-up —configure the crane in 15 minutes

• Increased performance and Potain Plus functionality generates extra

load chart increase

• Optimized ergonomic control — new driver control unit for

enhanced ergonomics and control

• Highest safety standards in the tower crane industry

• Easy maintenance — on-screen maintenance tool and optional

remote monitoring through CraneSTAR Diag

• Standardized components — easy spare parts availability
