A s a teenager, I spent many summer days sunbathing in my

backyard drenched in baby oil. Today I’m more likely to be

slathering on sunscreen and wearing a hat and sunglasses.

Our fascination with tanning may have begun with the in-

vention of the bikini in 1946, later instilled in our social conscience

by the blond haired Coppertone girl and her cocker spaniel. It’s hard

to believe it was as recently as the 1990s when we first started hearing

in earnest from dermatologists about how damaging the sun is to our

skin. Terms like melanoma, SPF, and ultraviolet (UV) rays are now

part of our common vocabulary.

This awareness transcends health and ventures into the world of safety. In 2003 the Web

Sling and Tie Down Association (WSTDA) released test results showing UV degradation on

synthetic web slings. According to the WSTDA, web slings can lose up to 40 percent of their

strength when exposed to the sun for just 16 months. Recommendations for prevention are

incorporated into the 2004 document “Recommended Standard Specification for Synthetic

Web Slings.” The standard cautions that degradation can take place without visible indications,

although some tip-offs include bleaching, stiffness, and abrasion. It identifies factors that affect

the degree of loss and suggests ways to reduce the sun’s effect on slings.

In February, the Technical Committee of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators (AWRF)

voted to consider doing similar testing on synthetic round slings. The key difference here is that

the core yarns that make up the load-bearing portion of a round sling are protected by an outer

cover. Those covers come in a variety of colors and transparencies. The question has been

raised whether some covers protect better than others.

At press time, the project was in the hands of the Round

Sling Subcommittee and the scope and methodology of

the testing were not yet determined.

In talking with a number of interested parties, it

seems the topic may not be as straightforward as it first

appears, but it is sure to be one of much debate in the

coming months and years. While I don’t pretend to be an

engineer or scientist, it only takes common sense to know that the sun does impact the viability

of synthetic slings, just as it does our skin. Which types of fibers and to what degree in a given

period are among the questions yet to be answered.

In the meantime, look to existing research to guide your inspections of synthetic slings.

Go to the Products/Standards section at www.wstda.com to purchase the UV Degradation

Report and the standard mentioned previously. Likewise, ASME B30.9 may be useful as well as

information from manufacturers of synthetic slings. Look for additional discussion about this

in the Guest Perspectives this month on pages 14 and 15.

Just as Australia continues its National Skin Cancer Awareness Campaign to combat the

statistic that it has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world, awareness is also essential

to the safety of sling users. Greater study can only lead to a better understanding of the issue as

well as improved use and inspection of synthetic slings. I applaud these industry organizations

for delving more deeply into these issues.

And since construction workers spend so much of their time outdoors, I also want to men-

tion that this month is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month. It may not have a direct cor-

relation to cranes and rigging, but a reminder to workers to take precautions to protect their

skin is a worthy topic for your next safety meeting.

Two Potain tower cranes have stood over the site of the newest residence

hall at the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga., for nearly a year now.

Both were rented from AmQuip by Atlanta, Ga.-based Juneau Construction

Company, LLC. The 22-ton Potain MD 485 B M20 and the 12-ton MDT 308 were

used throughout construction, performing steel erection and installing precast

spandrel panels and precast bands around the building’s exterior.

Plans fi rst called for positioning the 485 in the middle of the building. “But

we’re so close to the Interstate, there’s an exit ramp behind the project. The

boom was going to be out over that ramp, and the State Department of Trans-

portation wouldn’t allow us to do that. We had to go with a secondary crane,”

explained Eric Kerley, Juneau’s vice president.

At press time the MDT 308 had been taken down, and the MD 485 was to

remain on site until mid-summer. Kerley was happy to report both cranes have

performed as expected on the project.

Badger Equipment Co., Winona,

Minn., continues to deliver on or-

ders for its cab-down style rough-ter-

rain cranes. After re-entering the crane

market last summer, the Manitex Inter-

national division recently delivered 30-

ton CD4430Rs to Amtrak, and a 20-ton

CD4420 to Contractors Crane Co. Inc.,

Houston, Texas, for work in refi nery

and petrochemical applications.

Amtrak took delivery of three CD4430R

machines outfi tted with Badger’s hi-rail gear

for work as lifting cranes as well as rail thread-

er machines in maintaining tracks. Specially

painted and equipped with Cummins Tier

III engines, the cranes have all-wheel drive,

all-wheel steer, six-sided two-section booms

with auxiliary winch and roomy two-door

cabs with air conditioning, rear-view cam-

eras, and full glass protection. Th e cranes also

have wider rims, wider friction rail drives, and

wider fenders.

Contractors Crane Co. has scheduled

open houses in both Houston and Baton

Rouge, La., promoting these cab-down RTs

as the fi rst new cranes of this kind to enter

the refi nery and petrochemical markets in

many years.

In related news, Manitex International,

Bridgeview, Ill., has received new orders of

about $5 million for the company’s boom

truck cranes. “Th e new crane orders are split

among three of the top growth areas that

we’ve been pursuing, namely international

distribution, independent rental fl eets, and

the energy support sector,” said Scott Rolston,

senior vice president, sales and marketing.

GE Capital Enhances Dealer Offerings, Names New Commercial Leader

At CraneHotLine.com you can fi nd listings for more than 3,000 cranes

Terex Cranes, Zweibrucken, Germany, has

introduced the AC 100/4L all-terrain

crane, featuring a 195-foot main boom,

and optimized for a broad range of applica-

tions. With its variable extension system,

the 110-ton AT reaches a maximum system

length of 268 feet. According to Terex, the

crane sets a new standard by combining

capacity with standard truck dimensions in

an 8-foot width when equipped with large

445/95R25 tires.

With a 62-foot double fl y jib added the

lift height is 257 feet. According to the

company, this is the longest system length

traveling on four axles with an axle load of

13 tons or less. The crane’s maximum sys-

tem length is 268 feet. Customers want both

compactness and long system lengths, said

Thomas Hartmann, sales director for Terex

Cranes. “With the AC 100/4L we have a

crane that is easy to operate and meets our

customers’ demands,” he added.

The AT is equipped with a variable system

for extending its main boom. The double fl y

jib can be mounted directly on the telescop-

ic boom or on an additional 26-foot exten-

sion installed between the telescopic boom

and the double fl y jib. The system makes

for fast rigging, as the double fl y jib can be

transported within a 13-ton axle load.

Terex Introduces Long-Boom AT

Cranes in Action

To help dealers better manage their wholesale purchasing and retail sales initiatives, GE

Capital, Norwalk, Conn., has grouped its construction equipment off erings and named

Kristi Webb commercial leader of the company’s Equipment Finance business.

“Low activity levels in the construction sector have created cash-fl ow pressures for dealers

and end users,” said Webb. “Our wholesale options allow capital-savvy dealers to stock equip-

ment without draining their own cash positions. Our retail leases and loans, including our in-

novative rebate lease, help dealers provide aff ordable off erings to customers who are also con-

cerned about fi nancing their purchases.”

GE Capital is making a signifi cant investment in technology that will provide speedy deci-

sions on credit applications, easy document preparation and same-day funding decisions for

retail lease and loan transactions, according to the company.

U.S. construction equipment exports

dropped more than 38 percent in 2009,

totaling $12.8 billion worth of machinery that

was shipped to other countries, according to

the Association of Equipment Manufacturers

(AEM). Overall, however, quarter-to-quarter

declines steadily improved, ending with a

fourth-quarter gain of 26 percent.

Declines of between nearly 30 to 50 per-

cent for major world regions were marked.

South and Central America, as well as Asia,

were among those seeing the smallest de-

clines. AEM consolidates U.S. Commerce

Department data for off-road equipment

with other sources into quarterly export

trend reports.

“Exports have literally been a lifeline for

the construction equipment industry, which

saw U.S. business plummet more than 40

percent last year and unemployment soar to

more than double the national average,” stat-

ed AEM President Dennis Slater. “Global trade

has been a signifi cant source of industry ex-

pansion in recent years, and many economies

are now rebounding faster than the U.S.”

Export sales to South America declined

29 percent in 2009 for a total of $2.4 billion

compared to 2008. Central America took de-

livery of $1.3 billion worth of U.S. construc-

tion equipment, a 34-percent decrease, and

exports to Asia dropped 35 percent in 2009,

for a total of $2 billion. For a snapshot of the

U.S. used equipment export front, check out

The Unseen EnemyBy Dennis St. Germain Jr.

I n 1989, a presentation was made on our new synthetic high

performance Twin-Path® slings to a rigging group at a ship-

yard in St. John, New Brunswick. Their facility was located

adjacent to the Bay of Fundy. To make heavy lifts the ship-

yard had been using a set of four-inch diameter by 90-foot-long

wire rope slings. Because these slings were so heavy and awkward

to handle, they were stored outdoors beside the dry dock and

subjected to cold, heat, salt air, and rain. After only two years the

wire rope slings had to be replaced due to the corrosive effects of

the environment.

The benefits of the High Performance Twin-Path slings were

explained to the riggers, including lighter weight and ease of

handling. Surprisingly, the riggers identified a benefit we did

not consider. Because of their light weight, these slings could be

stored inside rather than subjected to the debilitating effects of

weather. Ultimately, the shipyard purchased these slings, which

lasted 15 years.

The UV connection It is a fact that corrosion of steel from exposure can be slowed

by various methods like painting, galvanizing, plating, and covering

with heavy grease, but nonetheless, many accidents have occurred

because the hidden damage was not identified by normal inspec-

tion. Synthetic materials used for running ropes and slings are not

subject to hidden damage from rust and corrosion, but they are

weakened in much the same way by exposure to ultraviolet (UV)

light. Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than violet light,

and is not visible to the human

eye. UV light degrades synthet-

ics by transferring energy into

the fibers. This energy can cause

damage by breaking down the

molecular bonds in a fiber’s structure.

The main source of UV light is the sun, but some UV light is

also created by welding arcs, fluorescent lighting, and Xenon light,

which is now used in automobiles as a brighter headlamp. Gener-

ally, darker colors provide better UV resistance than lighter colors.

Thicker materials resist UV light better than thinner. Additionally,

thicker materials allow the surface to suffer UV degradation while

retaining strength in the inner core material.

A research study by the Web Sling and Tie Down Association

published in 2003 confirmed what industry experts already sus-

pected. (See charts below.) Long-term UV exposure reduces the

breaking strength of web slings. Polyester web slings lost up to 30

percent of their strength during the first 12 months of exposure,

after which the strength loss leveled off. Nylon web slings showed

a strength loss of up to 50-60 percent after 36 months of exposure

with no indication of leveling off. This report is available for pur-

chase at www.wstda.com. The important question is this: Should

web slings be given a maximum life expectancy like the five-year

shelf life of synthetic fall protection gear?

Educating the inspector The other most common synthetic sling is called a roundsling.

These products have a strength bearing core inside a protective

cover or jacket. It has always been assumed that the roundsling

cover, no matter the thickness or color, protected the load bearing

core from UV degradation. Only recently has it been discovered

that there is a wide variance in the UV protection levels provided

In Light of It AllBy Linda Summars

M y brother and I are slingmakers. Our father was a

slingmaker. Now my son is also, and I’m instilling in

him the same message I heard my daddy tell many

riggers: “Men’s lives depend upon the quality of our

slings.” So, although, I am very proud to be the inventor of The

Inspectable Roundsling, the idea is rooted in his passion for a

better and safer product.

As part of our product development, the transparent cover

technology used in The Inspectable Roundsling endured a test

in August 2008 to compare the potential for UV degradation of

the load bearing core yarns to those of both polyester and nylon

opaque covers. For the test, FIRST Sling Technology provided the

Inspectable Roundsling technology, Filtec Precise Inc. provided the

core yarns and break testing, and Murdock Webbing provided the

jackets and Xenon Arc machine for exposure testing. Textile engi-

neers had no doubt that the transparent jacket would offer equal

protection from ultraviolet light, but good companies test their

own products in support of their claims.

Testing was done to 100 and

500 Xenon Arc Hours, respec-

tively. Note that 500 simulated

UV hours equates to years of

service in natural exposure. All

reductions in breaking strength

were within the average unex-

posed yarn break range. Re-

sults confirm that a transparent

cover provides protection equal to that of opaque polyester and

nylon covers. Charts outlining those results are shown below.

For a copy of the scope, methods, and other details, contact me

directly for information.

What the standards say When discussing the sun’s effect on synthetic slings, it’s im-

portant to know what the standards have to say about it. In its

most recently published version, ASME B30.9-2006 Slings has

three chapters that address synthetic slings. Chapter 4 is dedicat-

ed to Rope Slings, Chapter 5 to Webbing Slings, and Chapter 6

to Roundslings. Both Chapters 4 and 5 address sunlight and UV,

but Chapter 6 is silent on the issue. Why? Because roundslings

are the “baby” of slings. Until 2003, B30.9 Chapter 6 Roundslings

did not even exist!

Notice in these excerpts from Chapters 4 and 5 that the exact

same UV statement is made for both synthetic rope and web-

bing slings.

Ultraviolet Light: The strength of synthetic rope slings is degraded

by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light. The sling manufacturer

by different roundsling covers. Testing has found that while some

covers provide adequate protection, others do not. Since ultraviolet

light can cause loss of strength to synthetic fibers and is essen-

tially hidden damage similar to the corrosion of steel, the inspector

needs education to recognize the issues.

The chart above displays test results of UV degradation to vari-

ous roundsling cores and covers used by riggers around the world.

This testing was requested by Slingmax Rigging Solutions and

conducted independently by Murdock Webbing Co. in the Unit-

ed States and DSM in The Netherlands. Murdock Webbing per-

formed UV testing and residual strength testing was done by DSM

Dyneema®. Despite being much more expensive than our initial

“flashlight testing,” it shows the same basic results. (In our initial

test, a high powered flashlight was placed behind the double-wall

of all popular colors used in roundslings to determine which colors

were to be used in additional testing.) The field test of any cover

may be quite simple. If you hold a flashlight against the cover and

do not see light shining through the other side, it’s a good sign.

A study of the chart above shows the vast difference in protec-

tion afforded by various types of roundsling covers. The dark

green Covermax® is much thicker than other roundsling covers

and therefore, the loss of the sling’s core strength is negligible.

Roundslings protected by the thinner lighter colored covers lost

the most core strength.

Several important lessons were learned from this testing:

1) Most roundsling core fibers show no visible indications of

damage after their 500 hours of UV exposure in the Xenon weath-

ering machine. (See photo below left.)

2) When opaque covers show fading it is a sure indicator of UV

degradation to the core fiber. (See photo below right.)

3) High molecular Polyethylene (HMPE) fibers show more resis-

tance to UV degradation than polyester fibers.

4) However, some high-performance fibers, such as Aramids,

are more adversely affected by UV.

In general, stiff and/or faded covers are an indication of UV

degradation. If a colored sling is faded beyond color recognition:

remove it from service. The odds are you have at least a 30 per-

cent loss of ultimate strength. The next

question is this: Is there a mechani-

cal way to determine “hidden” UV

damage in a roundsling? The an-

swer is yes. On February 16,

2010, the United States

issued a patent to Sling-

max Rigging Solutions

(US #7,661,737) for a

pre-failure warning indica-

tion system for all roundslings. It’s called the Check-Fast® inspec-

tion system. The following is a brief explanation of how it works.

Every roundsling is made up of multiple wraps of the same

strand of fiber. A roundsling made with the Check-Fast inspection

system adds an extra wrap called a “sacrificial strand.” The ends

of this independent strand are equally tensioned among the other

load bearing core yarns via a “weak link.” The weak link material

has a calculated lower breaking strength than the core yarn mate-

rial, and it degrades faster when exposed to ultraviolet light. When

the sling is exposed to severe overload or UV damage, the weak

link breaks first, well before the remaining strands reach their

failure point. Finally, a colored External Warning Indicator (EWI)

strand is attached to the weak link and will disappear inside the

sling cover when the weak link fails. In addition to the visible in-

dications, this EWI is what the rigger looks

for upon each inspection.

If you see this indicator yarn and there

is no other cover damage, it is a GO! If the

roundsling is subjected to severe overload

when tensioned, or in this case, severe UV

deterioration, the weak link breaks and

whips the indicator strand inside the cover

so fast it makes an audible POP sound—

definitely a NO-GO!

Chapter 5 Synthetic Webbing Slings, section 9-5.8.3 Sun-

light and Ultraviolet Light: The strength of synthetic webbing

slings is degraded by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light. The

sling manufacturer or qualified person should be consulted for

additional retirement or inspection requirements. For additional

degradation information, see WSTDA-UV-Sling 2003. (WSTDA-

UV-Sling 2003 is a Web Sling and Tie Down Association publica-

tion found at www.wstda.com).

Note that testing done by these associations may provide ad-

ditional useful information. Meanwhile, the Technical Commit-

tee of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators voted in February

to develop a plan to test the effects of UV on roundslings. The

member request stated, “Currently there are cover questions as

to what color, thickness and weave effectively protects the inter-

nal core yarn from ultra violet light damage.” WSTDA will most

likely consider additional UV testing also.

Likewise, the standards acknowledge what the industry al-

ready knows—that UV exposure

may damage roundsling cores and

cause loss of strength. For example,

WSTDA’s Recommended Standard

Specification for Synthetic Polyester

Roundslings, WSTDA-RS-1, Section

4.9.1 states: “Roundslings should be

stored in a cool, dry, and dark place

to prevent loss of strength when not

in use through exposure to ultravio-

let rays.” And B30.9-6.10.3 makes a

similar recommendation.

Current evidence All types of synthetic slings have

at least one thing in common –

filaments or yarns. Whether laid,

plaited or braided (rope slings), wo-

ven (rope jackets, flat web load bearing material, and roundsling

covers) or loose (roundsling load rated core yarns), they all arrive

from the yarn manufacturer as large spools of bundled extruded

filaments. As makers of wire rope and chain slings rely on the

manufacturers for technical data regarding their raw material,

so do synthetic slingmakers, who rely on the yarn and webbing

manufacturers for technical information.

Manufacturers of critical parachuting equipment, using the

same woven yarns of nylon and polyester that the sling industry

uses for roundsling covers, give us some insight into UV’s affects

on synthetic roundslings. The Parachute Industry Association

(PIA) spent nearly $500,000 to answer similar questions about UV

protection. A small portion of what they learned is very helpful to

us in anticipating what we will learn and what we will do with what

we learn from future association testing.

FIRST Sling Technology directed the same questions that were

submitted to the AWRF Technical Committee to Bill Gerrow,

president of Performance Textiles Inc. of Greensboro, N.C. and

Duxbury, Mass., and the Executive Adviser to the PIA. He has

numerous credentials in textile engineering, more than 40 years

of industry experience, and has written various expert articles for

publications such as the Textile Research Journal. According to

Gerrow, and based upon scientific research and evidence, these

are some of the replies that we may expect to receive regarding

roundsling cover questions.

• Will the color of the roundsling cover make a difference in

UV protection? –No. “It is not as simple as picking the right color.

Any given color can be good or bad. The exception is the neon-

style colors which always have a shorter life. Solution-dyed yarns

are better than piece-dyed products. There can be a good dark and

there can be weak dark materials. There can be good light colored

products, and there can be bad light colored products.”

• Will the thickness of the roundsling cover make a dif-

ference in UV protection? –Yes. “The heavier the material, the

longer the life.”

• Will the weave of the roundsling cover make a difference

in UV protection? –Possibly. “The chemistry used in process-

ing the webbing is extremely critical. Each company (manu-

facturer) has their proprietary for-

mulations. Finally, the chemistry

and processing of material have as

much to do with the end results as

the choice of yarns.”

At the heart of the matter Future safety advancements de-

pend on the study of roundsling core

yarns. Traditional (color-coded by

cover) roundslings have a polyester

core which is a UV-resistant poly-

mer. But with the introduction of

Extra High Performance (EHP) core

yarns, there are many questions that

slingmakers need to ask of the core

yarn manufacturers of products such

as Spectra®, Hybrid®, Technora®, and

Dyneema. Slingmakers and sling users will ultimately rely on the

answers to come from their yarn suppliers, regardless of the cover

– transparent or opaque, polyester or nylon.

As the industry conducts additional UV testing, we hope to

learn exactly how much protection different cover materials offer

the rigger. As more is learned, usage procedures may change, just

as the practice of cut protection has advanced from simply protect-

ing slings from sharp edges to protecting them from all edges.

Whatever the approach, maintaining the integrity of the core

yarns and making it possible for riggers to thoroughly inspect those

core yarns is the heart of the matter. Sling users should continue to

use protection suitable to the given mechanical and environmental

conditions. They should invest in education and training from

firms specializing in slings and other rigging gear. And, when it

comes to synthetic slings, they should always remember that it’s

the yarns that “men’s lives depend upon.”



Moving mobile cranes to and from

job sites poses significant chal-

lenges for crane owners across

North America. Many all-terrain

cranes are designed and built to meet Euro-

pean transport requirements that are vastly

different from the requirements in the United

States and Canada. In general, European reg-

ulations allow for heavier axle loadings with

short compact axle spacing. U.S. regulations

vary widely from state to state, but in general

axle loading is reduced and spacing increased

to spread the load out over a greater distance.

To further complicate crane transport, each

state, province, and some local municipali-

ties have their own rules and regulations. For

this reason, geography is important when

designing products for transporting cranes.

The dolly or trailer must have the proper

axle spacing to accommodate over-the-road

permit requirements for the region.

The use of crane boom dollies is one tool

crane owners have for making their cranes

transport-acceptable. With a dolly, the boom

is swung to the rear of the crane where it is

carried by the dolly. With special overweight

and oversize permits in hand, dollies can help

crane owners move even the largest cranes

rated up to 600 tons. However, dollies have

also been used on cranes as small as 50 tons.

In addition, in some states, dollies can be used

to transport counterweight. This allows some

truck cranes, such as the Grove TMS9000E

and Link-Belt HTC-8690, for example, to

move over the road with everything they

need and without a separate counterweight

truck. While this is true in many areas of the

country, Ohio is one state where counter-

weight is not allowed to be carried by a dolly.

requirements. In Texas

this machine can be legally

permitted with a simple

two-axle dolly. In many

states a standard tri-axle

dolly is required. To meet

bridge law requirements in

Missouri and Florida the

crane is required to have

a spread-axle dolly. This

same crane can be moved

in Pennsylvania without

a dolly at all. While in

Minnesota, the GMK5275

cannot be permitted even with a dolly as the

axle spacing is too close together to meet

the state requirements. However, Minne-

sota does allow larger six-, seven, and eight-

axle cranes to be moved with a boom dolly.

Frost laws are another consideration for

crane owners moving equipment in most

Canadian provinces and some northern U.S.

states. Frost laws temporarily reduce allow-

able axle loadings in the spring when the

ground is thawing. For some cranes, this may

be the only time a dolly is required for it to be

moved. In Michigan, for example, Nelson has

built numerous dollies for smaller cranes that

allow the machine to be moved with all of its

counterweight most of the time. During frost

law season the counterweight is hauled on a

separate truck while utilizing the same dolly

on the crane.

Weight laws are not the only differences

that must be taken into account when de-

ciding the best way to move a crane. In the

United States, boom dollies are exempt from

having anti-lock brake systems (ABS) because

the device is classified as a load divider dolly.

However, ABS is required in Canada.

Likewise, many dollies in Canada are at-

tached to the rear of the crane carrier with

a pintle hitch. When the dolly is towed the

“tower” of the dolly or boom support must

roll fore and aft as the crane maneuvers and

turns while traveling. This makes this dolly

style heavier than the standard dolly. Among

the advantages are that the dolly and coun-

terweight are towed behind the crane with

the boom to the front, making it easier to

hook the boom up in preparation for work.

Nelson has built this type of dolly with up to

five axles.

In Edmonton, Alberta, Sterling Crane uses a five-axle CBC-50RT boom dolly to

transport its Liebherr LTM1200/1.


Product Focus CRANE TRANSPORT

The boom of a Liebherr LTM1250 AT is launched using a boom launch trailer owned by Gwil Crane Service, Burnaby, British Columbia.

A Link-Belt RTC-8065 rough-terrain crane, owned by D. W. Burt Concrete Construction, Salisbury, Md., uses a Nelson Pin-n-Go system.

Selecting a dolly or other transport device When selecting a boom dolly, there are

a few key specifications to consider: the

method of attachment to the boom, float

kits, and brake compatibility. Any boom at-

tachment should be approved by the crane

manufacturer. Nelson Manufacturing works

directly with the engineering departments of

all of the major crane manufacturers serv-

ing North America to make sure that we are

handling the crane boom or an RT crane

carrier properly. Any and all welding to the

boom or carrier should be approved by the

crane manufacturer prior to completing any

of this work. In many cases these booms are

manufactured from high tensile steel and

field welding is not allowed.

The crane must also be equipped with

a boom float kit which allows the boom to

float up and down and swing when turning.

When it comes to brakes, most European-

built cranes automatically supply air to

the dolly when the air lines are connected,

which releases the parking brakes. (Dolly

wheels should be chocked to prevent the

dolly from rolling during connect and dis-

connect processes.) Also some crane mod-

els have a higher crack pressure on the air

brake. In this situation, if the dolly brake

valve is not compatible the dolly will try to

stop the crane by itself during light brake

applications. This can cause skidding of the

dolly tires making the crane difficult to drive

and causing excessive tire and brake wear on

the dolly.

On the largest all-terrain cranes—such as

the Terex Demag AC 500 or AC 700, Lieb-

herr’s LTM1400 or LTM1500, and the Grove

GMK6350 and GMK7550—dollies are suc-

cessful in getting these machines road legal

in only a handful of areas. In most cases the

booms must be removed and transported

separate from the crane. Nelson Manufac-

turing offers a line of boom launch trailers

designed to remove and install the boom

without the use of an assist crane. This can

save thousands of dollars per trip as a second

crane does not have to be dispatched just to

install the boom on the AT. After operators

become familiar with this system they can

often “launch” the boom in 30 to 40 minutes.

Again weight laws play a critical role in

determining the number of axles and the

axle spacing of the boom launch trailer. Front

jeeps, detachable axles, and spreader beams

are sometimes required to permit some of

the larger booms on the boom launch trailer.

Nelson has recently introduced a lighter-

weight boom launch trailer for use with the

more popular crane models. This weight-op-

timized design offers all of the same features

and conveniences of the traditional boom

launch trailer, but does not require a “super

load permit.”

Rough-terrain cranes are typically hauled

on hydraulic removable gooseneck trailers.

However on certain models it makes sense

to use a Nelson Pin-n-Go trailer. This sys-

tem includes a gooseneck and a backend that

pins onto the crane, turning it into a self-

supporting load. On some cranes, such as

the Link-Belt RTC-80100 and Grove RT9130,

the Pin-n-Go system pins to the crane with

the removable outrigger boxes removed. On

other machines, such as the Grove RT875E,

lugs are added to the front and rear of the

crane to connect to the system. By using this

system, the weight of the “trailer” is reduced

because there is no deck. Using the system

can also be faster than chaining a crane down

to a gooseneck trailer.

Prior to purchasing any heavy equipment,

including cranes, buyers should consider the

method for moving the equipment. Your

crane dealer or dolly manufacturer can help

you determine what’s best for your specific

application and location. It’s also a good idea

to submit axle spacing and weight to your

state permit department before purchasing

a crane.

Before purchasing any crane, among the

two most important questions you should ask

yourself are: Where will I take this crane and

how do I get there? Lift charts, price, and

reliability mean nothing if you cannot get the

crane to the job.

In the current economy, many crane

owners are choosing to sell off idle

equipment rather than wait for busi-

ness to pick up, making this a buyer’s

market. Though exports of new construction

equipment took a beating in 2009, the good

news is demand remains high from the inter-

national community for good-quality used

U.S. equipment. Even better is the fact that

our nearest neighbors, Canada and Mexico,

are still at the top of the list of buyers. The

key to selling cranes in either market is to

know what’s hot and how to package it.

“There’s a tremendous amount of equip-

ment on the market,” says Eddy Kitchen

of Kitchen’s Crane & Equipment, Chester,

Va., speaking from the seller’s perspective.

About 60 percent of Kitchen’s exports go

to Central and South America, as well as

Mexico. “There are a lot of scam artists out

there saying ‘I can do this’ and ‘I can supply

you with this crane,’ ” he continues. “The

bottom line is it’s all about relationships,

how you take care of the client, and the

relationship you have with them.”

The buyer’s perspective is just as telling.

“The world is small, so they’d better have

a product we need,” Jim Lucas of Encore

Trucking & Transport Ltd., says of sellers in

general. He and his brother Don serve west-

ern Canada with their Edmonton, Alberta,

crane and transport company. Jim Lucas

is candid in his comments: “Those of us

who are prepared to buy, even sight unseen,

from the American market, are equally pre-

pared to go elsewhere, so nobody can rest

on their laurels,” adds Lucas. “Nobody can

get complacent these days.”

The current situation All types and vintages of cranes are pass-

ing through the auction yards of Vancouver,

Canada-based Ritchie Brothers Auction-

eers. Rob Mackay, Ritchie Bros. president,

says the company continues to see a cross-

section offered up for auction. He stresses

the advantages of marketing to a global au-

dience via the auction experience: “Given

the state of the North American economy, a

seller must reach beyond the local boundar-

ies of their country to maximize value.”

Woody Weld of Allied Crane & Machinery,

Mesa, Ariz., a wholesale provider of boom

trucks, service trucks, and large telehandlers,

says Mexico took a bigger hit during the

economic downturn than other countries

in the region. “However, both [Canada and

Mexico] have great potential for the future,

with Mexico and Central and South America

being much larger potential markets.”

Canada, the largest buyer of U.S. con-

struction equipment as a whole, seems to

be a more robust market these days. Asked

for his take on the market, Lucas says the

picture is askew because the economy has

slowed. “There are more deals, but in a used

market, [sellers] tend to think their [ma-

chines] are dear. I beg to differ.” Then, there

are the buyers with limited funds who want

to be sure they’re making the right decision.

several other countries in South America. It pays to do your homework

before putting out the For Sale sign, however, as countries differ on

where they stand regarding equipment imports. Brazil, for example,

won’t allow the import of anything that isn’t new.

“Brazil invested many years to create strong local manufacturing,” says Raphael Castillo, managing

partner in Latin America for The Alta Group, a fi rm that represents leasing companies and vendors in

other countries. “Brazil has very tough controls, and the import of used equipment is forbidden there.”

It’s a completely different story in Mexico, however.

The fi nancial system there is diverse, and there are many funding sources available for fi nancing the

equipment you do sell. Plus, says Castillo, cross-border leasing is acceptable, but it pays to look at the

taxes involved in the sale. The good news, he says, is that there is a double-taxation treaty between

the U.S. and Mexico, which qualifi es a bank-affi liated lessor to receive a reduced withholding tax rate.

“The issue with the lessor being in the U.S. is how to deal with the credit risk and country risk.

Mexico has good infrastructure, credit bureaus, etc.,” says Castillo, adding that the seller must have

the ability to team up with a local institution there to provide equipment fi nancing on his terms. “Most

[U.S. sellers] are planning to sell for cash, and we would suggest they go into a leasing situation in

Mexico. Most leasing companies that exist today in Mexico are organized as multipurpose fi nancing

organizations.”

Castillo suggests studying the largest players when deciding who to work with. Then, he says to

structure the deal, the seller should go through a checklist, including how to deal with taxes, how to

fi nance the deal, what kind of customer he’s working with, and how he’s going to get paid. “You need

a local player who can fi nd buyers and screen them,” he says. “This organization can provide a lease or

long-term fi nancing, as well as short-term fi nancing.”

Beyond that, Castillo says, the seller should look at the specifi cs of the sale, such as whether there

will be a contingency plan if an accident should happen with the machine, or how to work with a risk-

management organization if he is retaining an interest in the equipment.

Lucas continues. “For a lot people it’s a big

decision, and they have buyer’s remorse.

People second-guess themselves. It’s easier

to make mistakes when you’re dealing far-

ther afield.”

The Association of Equipment Manu-

facturers (AEM) compiles data for off-road

equipment into quarterly export trend re-

ports. Although U.S. construction equip-

ment exports fell by more than one-third

in 2009, the association notes that South

and Central America and Asia are among

those regions experiencing the smallest

2009 yearly declines.

After Canada, the top buyers of U.S.-made

construction machinery were Mexico, Aus-

tralia, Chile, Brazil, and China, in that order.

Dennis Slater, AEM president, believes it

is crucial that the federal government ease

the reins on international business in order

to move American products. “Many of our

smaller companies increasingly rely on ex-

ports to keep their businesses operating,”

Slater said earlier this year, in announcing

the launch of a pilot program with Ex-Im

Bank to help companies maximize their ex-

port opportunities.

Headed for Southern Climes Kitchen says 75 percent of the cranes his

company sells to Central and South America

are purchased directly by the end user, “be-

cause I’m selling not just cranes, but plat-

form trailers and gantries also, and I’m doing

a lot of repeat business.” Often the customer

knows he’ll need a crane in addition to the

other equipment, so Kitchen will try to fill

that need as well. “I just shipped three RT

cranes and they actually were to the end

user, but [the sale was] arranged through a

crane sales company in South America.”

Kitchen says there are some companies

with the financial resources to shop for later-

model units, but they still aren’t buying new.

“They’re saying ‘get me something between

three and five years old that has relatively

good hours and has been well maintained.’”

Machine safety enhancements have not

been in high demand, he says. He explains

that the typical anti two-block is adequate,

while cameras and computer systems are

nice but not necessary. “They’re looking for

value more than anything else,” he says.

Kitchen’s Crane & Equipment gets calls

for crawler cranes rated at 220 tons and up

and all sizes of RTs, ranging from 30 to 110

tons, reports Kitchen. “And I’m getting [re-

quests] for older, larger-capacity AT cranes.

Some of them don’t even want late-model

machines. They want 1980s to 1990s equip-

ment that have the capacity.”

Meanwhile, truck cranes don’t draw many

buyers because in parts of South America

there are local truck crane manufacturers.

The import fees to bring in a crane under 60

or 70 tons would be almost double the cost

of the crane simply because South Ameri-

can countries want to promote their own

domestic construction equipment sales.

In Mexico, buyers represent both end users

and resellers or dealers. Ritchie Bros., too, has

found that these shoppers are looking for RTs

as well as hydraulic truck cranes. Construc-

tion equipment safety standards are more

relaxed in Mexico than in the United States.

Couple that with a depressed economy, and

Mexican buyers tend to seek older used ma-

chines. They typically go after models that are

more than five years old, Mackay reports.

Kitchen finds that demand from Mexico

is down in comparison to Central and South

America. He attributes it to a reduction in

job starts and a devalued peso. One cus-

tomer, with whom he has a good business

relationship, simply can’t afford to purchase

anything right now because of the exchange

rate between the peso and the dollar. The

inquiries he does get from Mexico are from

contractors who have jobs on the books.

“They’ve won the contract, and now they

need the equipment,” he says.

However, the demand for transport

equipment is strong, due in part to the wind

turbine manufacturing business in Mexi-

co, which needs to transport components

throughout the country. “I’m still getting a

lot of interest,” Kitchen says. “There are still

transport projects where they need trailers,

specialized rigging equipment, hauling, and

transport equipment. Some companies that

have been successful in different sectors are

gearing up for the wind market that is sure

to come their way. There are already proj-

ects taking place, and there will be more.”

The Great White North In Canada, inventories of used cranes

are higher than in past years, says Mackay,

however, the country is still a good market

for late-model, low-hour machines. Buyers

want these types of cranes from all catego-

ries, including mid-size to large RTs, which

well as others, directly from CraneWorks, Inc.,

still represent the largest sector. The lifting

capacity on truck cranes sought by Cana-

dian buyers continues to climb; 40 tons plus

is the norm now, says Mackay.

The parts business is part of what at-

tracts Lucas to purchasing cranes from the

United States. After the salesman has sold

their first crane, the availability of parts and

service is what sells the second one, says Lu-

cas. “If parts and service aren’t there, we go

elsewhere, or we have real reservations about

buying a second crane.” Encore often turns to

CraneWorks, Inc., Houston Texas, for late-

model used picker cranes. “If parts and ser-

vice aren’t there, we go elsewhere, or we have

reservations about buying a second crane.”

Lucas says he buys cranes based on what

the work calls for, however, “I try to stay

with the same make. It makes sense to have

the same style of crane. It requires less fa-

miliarization time [for the crew] and you

know there are certain parts on your shelf

that will fit four or five cranes.” He explains

that narrowing the number of makes of

cranes in a fleet cuts down on a host of

maintenance problems and the need for op-

erational and maintenance expertise as well.

“But when you don’t have money you can’t

be as selective. That’s when you end up with

a Heinz 57 fleet,” he says.

Canadian crane owners face many of the

same safety standards as American end us-

ers, so Canadian buyers demand today’s

technology, even in used equipment when-

ever they can get it. “Your crane is not wel-

come in many of these plants if it isn’t up

to snuff with all of the safety features,” says

Lucas. “We need all the safety features the

new cranes have. In Alberta, we have strict

standards; we have a very thorough certifi-

cation program every year.”

Encore’s fleet is made up of used cranes

that originated in a variety of countries,

such as Italy and Japan, as well as the United

States. But because Encore prefers to work

directly with the seller, being able to speak

the same language as the seller is an advan-

tage when buying from the United States.

“We don’t use a broker; we talk directly with

these guys,” says Lucas. Other benefits to

buying used equipment from the United

States include the time factor and an expec-

tation that the equipment will be in good

running condition when it arrives.

A Dicey TakedownA Dicey Takedown

MID ATLANTIC


Plant demolitions are not unfamiliar to R. Baker & Son All

Industrial Services, but a run-of-the-mill job last year at an

active New Jersey petrochemical plant was far from boring

for the R. Baker crew. The job involved dismantling two 300-

foot towers; a 160-foot tall by 16-foot diameter column; tubed heat

exchangers, tanks, boilers, and a cooling tower; rail loading equipment

and other vessels; pumps and associated piping; and steel work.

In fact, when Bryan Simoes, project manager for the Red Bank, N.J.,

company, says, “This was a good project for us,” you hear the pride in

his voice, and know he actually means it was an opportunity for the

crew to shine in a challenging situation. “Not having anything fall to

pieces was an accomplishment. It will be a memorable job because

everything went very well,” said Simoes.

An ‘awesome machine’ Because of the site’s close proximity to active lines and equipment,

the crew opted to rent a 600-ton Terex Demag AC 500-1 hydraulic all-

terrain crane from United Crane & Rigging, Baltimore, Md. Simoes

said they were actually looking at using a crawler crane, but were lim-

ited on space required for boom assembly. “We were able to assemble

a luffing jib in a whole lot less space than, say, 340 feet of lattice boom,”

he said. “And it met the criteria for tonnage. We were only allowed to

use 75 percent of the crane chart as a safety factor.”

The crane was set up with 183 feet of main boom and 157.5 feet

of luffer with a Superlift, giving the crew a total of 340 feet of boom.

Some 308,000 pounds of counterweight was used. Though they chose

to rent the big crane, the R. Baker crew is familiar with the Demag,

having used a 500-2 model on a stack job in Syracuse, N.Y. Simoes

considers United’s 500-1 an awesome machine. “It’s really easy to set

up,” he said.

Assisting the Demag in taking down the towers and stacks was

a 120-ton Grove GMK 6200-1, also from United’s rental fleet and

chosen because of its capacity. “We also used the same crane as a

[personnel] basket crane,” said Simoes. “We had around 320 to 330

feet of boom on it.”

The trickiest lift at the New Jersey petrochemi-cal plant was of a rusted

90,000-pound sulphur recov-ery unit made at a 75-foot

radius. R. Baker crews used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader

bar to lift it. “That structure was made for a spreader bar pick,” said Bryan Simoes, R.

Baker project manager.

Region Report


Scaffolds were installed so that R. Baker & Son crews could dis-mantle two 300-foot stacks in 50-foot sections. One crew would precut the inner stack, and lift it along with the outer lattice, while another hot-cut the structure into sections, which were lowered to the ground with the help of a 600-ton Terex Demag AC 500-1, rented from United Crane & Rigging.

Always safety first The job called for the complete dismantling of one plant in order

to make way for a new build next to the old one, all within an active

plant. Roadways, lines and utilities, including a high-pressure sulfur

line and a hydrogen line, bounded the work area. Because of the

working environment, safety was first and foremost on this project,

reported Damon Kozul, senior vice president for R. Baker. In addition,

fall protection was a major concern due to work at high elevations. It

was necessary for crews to work from personnel baskets in order to

safely dismantle the towers and column.

“Prior to any work, numerous safety meetings and inspections

were conducted,” explained Kozul. OSHA engineering surveys, critical

lift and rigging plans stamped by a professional engineer, and a site-

specific Health and Safety Plan, and Work Plan, were all developed.

Underground lines were marked, the area was secured with fencing,

and proper signage was placed. Each day, work permits were issued,

safety equipment was inspected daily, job safety analysis reports were

made, and safety toolbox talks were conducted.

R. Baker’s staff spent considerable effort developing the critical lift

and engineered rigging plans. They performed an engineering inspec-

tion of the towers and column to determine structural stability and

integrity, and reviewed existing drawings. They then calculated where

the cuts would be made on the column and towers. Cranes were cho-

sen for the job based on pick heights, crane swing radius, and rigged

load weight.

It’s out with the old To allow for crane access, structures around the towers and col-

umn had to be demolished. Once that was done, dismantling com-

menced. The plant’s massive absorber desuperheater was dismantled

by high-pressure water cutting and taken apart in three sections. Two

70-ton hydraulic cranes from R. Baker’s fleet were mounted with per-

sonnel baskets so that the crew could tackle the cutting work. Once

pre-cutting was completed, the Demag was mobilized. Each of the

structure’s three sections was rigged and lowered to the ground by

the AT crane.

The dismantling of the two 300-foot tall towers then began. Scaf-

folds were installed to facilitate the intricate rigging and removal of

stack sections in 50-foot intervals. The goal was to attach rigging

points at two elevations within each 50-foot interval. “We took the

top part and the 50-foot stack first,” recalled Simoes. “We then went

up, set I-beams up to support the cables we ran down it, and installed

three suspended scaffolds on one cable so each man could travel up

and inside the lattice work.”

Simoes said the crew would precut the inner stack, then lift it along

with the outer lattice. Then personnel baskets were attached to two

190-ton R. Baker hydraulic cranes and the crew hot-cut the structure

into sections, which were lowered to the ground via the Terex Demag

for final demolition by excavators with shears.

“We used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader bar on the towers until we

reached a certain height,” continued Simoes. “Once you add length to

them you lose capacity, so we went to a Mod 110 spreader beam.”

The trickiest lift of all for the crew was not the highest but the heavi-

est. “It was around 90,000 pounds at a 75-foot radius,” he explained.

“We used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader bar to lift it only because it was

a sulphur recovery unit and everything was rusty. That structure was

made for a spreader bar pick.”

The crew was also charged with removing obsolete piping and

pipe racks, but dove in only after confirming that each line was de-

energized, drained and disconnected. Pipes to be cut and cut points

were verified twice in a coordinated effort with R. Baker and the cli-

ent’s personnel.

Work started from the open end of a pipe to ensure that it was not

an active line, and crew members worked in personnel lifts with fall

protection. Pipe sections were secured by rope, come-along, or crane.

“We took a 95-foot long piece of 24-inch Schedule 80 pipe off the rack

with the Demag,” said Simoes. After being cut free, piping was lowered

to the ground by the crane to avoid any free-fall of dismantled sections

within the live plant.

Staying busy Check out the portfolio of R. Baker & Sons All Industrial Services,

and you’ll find a lot of dismantling work, especially detail disman-

tling. In fact, in its service profile, the company touts itself as “the

premier specialized contractor for dismantlement, decommissioning,

and demolition in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.” Crew

capabilities listed include total plant and facility dismantlement, de-

commissioning, demolition, plant relocations and re-installations as

well as heavy equipment rigging and machinery moving, millwright

services and onsite concrete crushing.

This line of work “keeps us busier than some because certain rig-

ging and demolition companies don’t like to get into units like this

inside of live plants,” said Simoes. Asked whether the company would

be contracted to install the new plant in place of the old, he said they

will definitely bid on the job, although it was delayed. Originally, the

new plant “was supposed to be on our heels,” said Simoes.

TADANO AMERICA CORPORATION


Introduced by Manitowoc last month at Bau-

ma, the 350-ton Grove GMK6350L packs

strong lifting abilities, especially at tall heights,

for a six-axle class all-terrain crane. Positioned

near the top of Grove’s AT product line, the GM-

K6350L represents a fresh take on the Manitowoc,

Wis., manufacturer’s current six-axle crane off ering.

“After updating the smaller all-terrain cranes in

our product line over the past several years, we be-

gan looking at the Grove six-axle crane,” says An-

dreas Cremer, all-terrain crane product manager for

Manitowoc. “Th e GMK6350L will be the fi rst of two

new six-axle cranes we will introduce to the market

in the near future.”

Th e AT’s completely new design will replace the

GMK6250L with nearly 30 percent better capacity charts and 26 more

feet of boom length. It is being marketed as an ideal machine for erect-

ing tower cranes such as Potain’s MDT 308 topless crane, which has a

230-foot boom erected in 15.75-ton sections. Th e Potain crane has a

maximum height under hook of 213 feet, allowing the GMK6350L to

position the sections when working with its boom at 245 feet.

“Th e GMK6350L is setting a new benchmark in this class. Our cus-

tomers look for improved cost of ownership and getting the most out

of their investment,” adds Cremer.

On the road Th e all-terrain crane has a fully automatic transmission for onsite

drivability, the only crane in its class to do so, according to the com-

pany. Th e Allison 4500 SP is a strong, reliable, and cost-eff ective drive-

train solution. Its electronic controls allow it to adapt to its surround-

ings and provide self-diagnostics for easier maintenance. An integral

retarder off ers enhanced braking on hills.

“We continue to off er a fully automatic Allison transmission which,

in combination with our Megatrak suspension, makes this crane a real

all-terrain machine,” says Cremer. “Steer-by-wire” technology on axles,

including the fi fth and sixth, uses fewer components, allowing better

space utilization.

Additional design features include a new carrier cab. Th e style is

similar to Grove’s four- and fi ve-axle all-terrain cranes. Th e cab ac-

commodates up to three crew members and features ergonomic in-

strument positioning for better driving. In addition, visibility, heating,

air conditioning, aerodynamics, and noise reduction are all improved.

Transport issues have also been taken into consideration. Options

like the new self-rigging auxiliary hoist and removable outrigger box

were designed especially to help North American customers in trans-

porting the crane, says Cremer. Th e crane’s boom hangs over the front

of the 50-foot-long carrier by 5.7 feet. Axle spacings are favorable with

10.5 feet between the fi rst pair of axles and 8 feet between the second.

Maximum counterweight of 102 tons is made up of two 11-ton, fi ve

10.5-ton, and two 10-ton slabs in addition to the 8-ton base plate.

Th e optional auxiliary hoist can be rigged together with the coun-

terweight without the help of an auxiliary crane, which saves additional

transport. Power for the superstructure comes from a Mercedes OM

926 LA, and for the carrier, from a Mercedes OM 502 LA.

On the job When it comes to setup, the crane off ers fi ve outrigger positions

to provide greater fl exibility on even the narrowest of sites. In addi-

tion, the suspension can now be controlled from the outrigger control

boxes to improve the effi ciency of rigging tasks.

Excellent reach is available via a 263-foot, seven-section Twin-Lock

boom that includes patented Megaform designs for optimized rigidity

and capacity. For further reach, a 95-foot jib, consisting of a 69-foot bi-

fold swingaway plus a 26-foot intermediate section, is available. In total

this gives a maximum available length of 358 feet. Th is combined with

excellent lifting duties means the crane is well-suited to lifting large

loads at tall heights. A second, heavy-duty jib with a capacity of 42 tons

and off settable to 38 degrees, is also off ered.

Control comes from Grove’s ECOS system and an EKS 5 with full

graphic display monitors lift activities. CraneSTAR, Manitowoc’s

telematics-based remote monitoring system also comes on the GM-

K6350L. Main applications for this model will be tower-crane erection;

placing auxiliary services, such as A/C units, and elevator equipment,

on downtown buildings; and chimney work; as well as general lifting.

Before embarking on the all-new design, Manitowoc engineers in-

terviewed customers around the world to get a clear picture of their

requirements for six-axle cranes. “Th e new [crane] is the result of their

input. With [it], we are going to meet the need for a long-boom ma-

chine with quick set-up times without the need to rig a jib or Mega

Wing Lift,” says Cremer, who also notes the crane’s “outstanding” ca-

pacities at heights, such as 31,600 pounds with 245 feet of boom.

Th e crane was drawing interest even prior to Bauma. “Th e market is

already very excited about this new model and we already have a lot of

requests,” Cremer reported at press time.

New Grove AT Built for Lifting to Tall Heights

With an eye toward refreshing its larger AT cranes, Manitowoc’s new 350-ton Grove GMK6450L is the first of two new six-axle cranes the manufacturer plans to intro-duce. This one was be unveiled at Bauma.

When the Association

of Equipment Man-

agement Profession-

als (AEMP) hosted

an asset management symposium

in 2007, roundtable discussions

revealed a stumbling block to the

adoption of telematics systems in

construction fl eets: Th e majority

of those present were reluctant

to adopt the technology because

of the diffi culties with integrat-

ing it into “mixed fl eets.” With

that in mind, construction indus-

try OEMS agreed to work with

AEMP to develop a process for re-

trieving and importing basic data

elements in a standard format.

“Th e key for many end users is

to get the data into their database

so information such as hour-me-

ter readings, location, fuel con-

sumption, etc., can coexist with

that from other manufacturers’

machines and legacy machines

where data is still collected and entered manually,” says Pat Crail,

fl eet information manager for Th e John R. Jurgensen Cos., Cincin-

nati, Ohio. “Th e ability for this data to coexist in the database is crit-

ical, as most users drive their fl eet management reporting system

from these databases.”

Subsequent OEM-end user summits revealed the majority of

fl eet-level reporting could be accomplished with a standard means

of retrieving and importing data elements such as cumulative oper-

ating hours, cumulative fuel consumption, cumulative miles trav-

eled, and current location, the basic elements that drive the majority

of fl eet-level management reports, explains Crail. A standard which

would allow end users to programmatically retrieve this data in a

standard format was completed last fall. Participating OEMs and

telematics providers plan to support delivery of data using the stan-

dard format by October of this year.

Curiosity generates inquiries Th ough it’s early in the introduction process, and this spring AEMP

was just beginning to publicize the standard’s availability, the inquiries

were trickling in from the construction industry. New providers and

additional industry segments are upping the level of interest as well,

Crail reports. “I’m sure we will be hearing from the crane industry in

the near future. We welcome all inquiries and feedback, as this eff ort is

intended to further the industry as a whole.”

Crane Hot Line continues to monitor the reaction to, and interest in,

telematics from the crane industry. Among crane owners, much of the

discussion so far has focused on questions about who owns the data

and who has access to the information, as well as data that is specifi c to

cranes, such as load moment readings and overload data.

Crail says the concern about how the crane owner-generated infor-

mation might be used by OEMs has not yet been an issue, because

in his estimation, the transfer of data using the standard is a relation-

ship between the OEM or telematics provider and the end user. “Th is

data will not be aggregated in a central server or database, but rather

is treated as a privileged communication between the OEM/telematics

provider and the equipment owner,” he says, adding that the nature

of this relationship and its terms will be spelled out when end users

register for access with their respective telematics providers.

“It’s not like we’re talking about a central data repository with de-

tailed lift information sitting out there somewhere for government

agencies to access,” he says. As to the crane industry specifi cally, “I do

not believe there should be much concern that this data would some-

how be used against an owner,” Crail continues. “We are talking about

basic data that all fl eets already track: operating hours, location, and

fuel consumed. Th e standard does not delve into areas such as LMI

readings, data from picks, or any of those sorts of data.”

You can fi nd more information on the standard, download a ver-

sion of it, or get access to a user-driven telematics standard support

site, at AEMP’s website.

www.aemp.org

Telematics Standard Unifies Basic Equipment Data Elements

How it works Telematics providers supporting the AEMP Telem-atics Data Standard will allow end users to transfer telematics data from a provider’s server to their own systems. Providing this basic information in a com-mon XML document allows end users to develop one Application Programming Interface (API) to parse the data and import it into their databases for use by the fl eet management application. This, in turn, al-lows telematics data to feed the existing reports that equipment managers use to manage their fl eets. The same API can be used to retrieve the data from each OEM using unique authentication credentials and server information for each, which reduces imple-mentation expense. “The standard will allow end users to take advan-tage of telematics data solutions in a mix-fl eet envi-ronment with minimal development expense,” says Crail. “The API that integrates the data into the end user’s database can often be developed by the end user’s in-house IT department. Users without a ro-bust IT department can hire developers, like McFady-en & Associates, to develop their API at a relatively low cost compared with the old method of writing a unique application for each provider.”

Crail says the programmatic integration of data that the standard provides “will allow users to feed their ex-isting fl eet management reports with more timely data that is more accurate because this method eliminates all of the potentials for error that can occur whenever you have people reporting with pen and paper.” End us-ers can also cut down on data entry time, and the stan-dard will ultimately provide more timely and accurate fl eet-level management reporting, he adds. Crail notes that rather than replacing existing tele-matics web portals, the AEMP telematics standard is in-tended to complement them. The data provided by the standard will allow users to automate once- or twice-daily updates to their fl eet-level reports, and data from each manufacturer will coexist with that information from other providers, as well as legacy machines whose data is still being entered manually. The telematics pro-viders’ web portals will still provide the more detailed information required for deeper inquiries into a par-ticular machine or group of machines. “Information such as real-time GPS location for dis-patching mechanics; fault code history; machine health information, etc., is still extremely valuable at the ma-chine level, and the OEMs’ applications provide a great means to access this information,” he emphasizes.

Positive Practices

NCCER Releases Tower Crane Operator Material Th e National Center for Construction

Education and Research (NCCER), Gaines-

ville, Fla., will release the Contren® Learning

Series Tower Crane Operator curriculum

this year. NCCER worked with subject-mat-

ter experts to introduce relevant material

into the new book. Tower Crane Operator

off ers technical hints and tips and presents

real-life scenarios.

Topics include principles of tower cranes,

safety, rigging, load charts, and tower crane

operations. Additional features include a list

of key trade terms, module trade term quiz-

zes, and a color insert. Students successfully

completing Tower Crane Operator through

an NCCER-accredited training sponsor

will earn industry-recognized credentials

through NCCER’s National Registry.

NCCER also announced a partnership

with ACT Inc., Iowa City, Iowa, to provide a

common entry point to construction indus-

try careers. ACT will apply its research and

workforce readiness solutions to assist NC-

CER in ensuring that prospective and cur-

rent construction industry workers have the

essential foundational skills to succeed in

NCCER-accredited training courses and on

the job. Once launched, NCCER will begin

issuing National Career Readiness Certifi -

cates to trainees to document their founda-

tional skills.

TRAINING CALENDAR

SAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO. MARCH

2010 – The president of Millennium Crane

Rental and a crane operator were charged

with criminal negligence that caused the

death of a worker in April 2009. Legal

proceedings have started against the

company, marking the fi rst time in On-

tario charges have been pressed against

a corporation since a 2004 amendment

allows criminal prosecutions of corporate

executives, directors and managers who

act wrongfully or neglect to uphold their

responsibility to keep workplaces healthy

and safe.

The city worker killed in 2009 was one

of two installing a sewer pipe at a landfi ll.

An 80-ton all-terrain crane that was load-

ing concrete into the hole tipped in while

it was being repositioned, and pinned

the worker. Millennium Crane Rental also

faces fi ve charges under the Occupational

Health and Safety Act, including failing

to ensure the crane operator was properly

licensed. – The Sault Star

MURFREESBORO, TENN. MARCH 2010 –

A 49-year-old truck driver who was pick-

ing up a load of solid steel coils more

than 5,000 pounds each was killed at a

steel plant. According to police, a crane

operator was trying to navigate the load

onto the truck when one of the steel coils

fell on the truck driver and crushed him.

– Tennessean.com

CHANDLER, ARIZ. MARCH 2010 – A

construction crane being used to re-

move three large trees from the yard

of a home turned over on a residential

street. News reports said the crane’s

100-foot boom snapped, causing the

crane to tip over. The crane operator

received minor injuries, but no serious

injuries were reported. – ABC15.com

inspections, signaler training, wire rope, as-

sembly/disassembly, working around power

lines, fall protection, safety devices and op-

erational aids, and personnel designations.
