Comment
espite just having had a holiday season in many places, there is still
plenty going on in the industry. We even managed to break the news
on another three new cranes, all from the Manitowoc Crane Group. See
News, starting on page 6 for more details.
Also in the news this month are the interim 2005 financial results from
Manitowoc and Terex, both of which show large revenue increases over the
same period 2004. Manitowoc’s second quarter 2005 operating earnings leapt
a massive 97% to US$35.5 million.
For the first half year Terex Cranes’ sales were up 32% compared to the
2004 first half year, and its order backlog was up 10%. It announced the
addition of another production shift at the Waverly factory in Iowa. Manitowoc’s
crane sales were up a similar percentage – 34% higher compared to the first
half of 2004. The company’s order backlog was also strong at $530 million
– 50% higher than it was at the end of 2004.
Profitability is improving too – MCG’s operating margin improved to 7.1% of
sales in the first half of the year – a lot better than the 4.8% margin achieved in
the first half of 2004. Terex’s overall operating margin was 6.6% of sales, again
an improvement on the previous first half’s 5.2%, but the cranes margin slipped
from 3.8% to 3.4%.
Liebherr raised its total group turnover in 2004 by 12.3% (€502 million)
to €4,590 million. Major contributors were mobile cranes, which rose by
€121.6 million (14.1%) to €985.2 million, and tower cranes, which were up
€70.8 million (21.7%) to €397.6 million. The harbour, ship, offshore and
container crane division was up €13.6 million (5.3%) to €271.5 million.
Japanese manufacturers are also seeing a return to growth, particularly in
the rough terrain and truck crane sectors. Customers have been holding back
on crane purchases in general, particularly of wheeled mobiles, for as long as
possible but now things have started to move again.
All these are the latest encouraging signs of the industry’s continuing return
to growth – long may it continue.

De Kil Montage and Sarens were contracted to install the final storey
of the new Shipping & Transport College in Rotterdam, a conference
room that would ‘hang’ from the top of the 16 storey building.
The Terex-Demag CC 2800 rigged with 54 m main boom first
installed 17 tonne steel girder sections before both cranes lifted the
315 tonne conference room to a height of 30 m before tracking with
it 45 m for installation at the top of the building.
Danish crane rental house Krangården was contracted by EWP from Malmö
in Sweden to handle foundation and tower parts for a 5 MW Enercon wind
turbine. Part of the job was to lift the 375 tonne upper section while the lower
piece was skidded under it. Four cranes were used for the job from companies
in the BMS group: a 450 tonne capacity Grove GMK 7450 from Krangården;
a 400 tonne Liebherr LTM 1400 from BMS; a 300 tonne Liebherr LTM 1300

German rental house Helling was called in
during the final stages of the new Airbus A380
passenger aircraft’s journey by road and water
to a test centre. Helling used an 800 tonne
capacity Terex-Demag crawler crane to lift the
pieces of the aircraft, which ranged in weight
from 30 to 52 tonnes, from barges onto a double
width 14-axle-line Scheuerle InterCombi modular
trailer. From there the components were taken
to Dresden where the A380 was assembled and
tested for the first time.
Barnhart was contracted to install two tunnel boring machines
(TBMs) at a storm water tunnel construction project in Atlanta,
Georgia. Barnhart used a travelling Modular Lift Tower (MLT)
with 200 US ton (181 tonne) hoist. As components were
lowered to the bottom of the 300 foot (91 m) shaft a slide
system was used to move the modules for final assembly “in
the hole”. A 450 ton (408 tonne) capacity strand jack instead
of the 200 ton hoist handled the large items.
The new VCR (Visual Control Room) Tower at Heathrow Airport was
erected by Fagioli PSC using its Towerlift system. For the 900 tonne
conical top section three triangular 16 m towers and three L600 strand
jacks lifted 12 m. A tower segment was installed and the process
repeated to a final height of 87 m. To stabilise the tower, Fagioli PSC
used six L180 strand jacks in tension frames, three of which were
simultaneously tensioned through the lifting jack control system software.

2 km by SPMT to the refinery where the cranes were waiting.
The PTC was rigged with 85 m of main boom and the CC 2800,
which operated as the tailing crane, with 48 m. The reactors
were installed over consecutive days.
Crane Rental Corporation, Orlando, Florida, completed a

the latest addition to Grove’s range
of all terrains and the first unit is
scheduled to roll off the production
line at the end of 2005.

In a continuing effort to expand its
tower crane business, Philadelphia,
US-based AmQuip has opened
a tower crane headquarters in
Birmingham, Alabama. “Our entire
tower crane operations are based
here, including sales, overhaul,
parts, service, the whole nine yards,”
said Dennis Bates, vice president of
AmQuip’s tower crane division. “We
will use AmQuip’s other locations
as satellite staging areas for parts,
but operations-wise we will run it all
through here.”
A former steel plate cutting plant,
the 12 acre (5 hectare) site includes
a 50,000 square-foot (4600 m2) shop
and a separate office building. There
are facilities for fabrication, paint,
sandblasting and crane refurbishment.
“It’s a complete factory, essentially,”
explained AmQuip general manager
Frank Bardonaro. The new facility “will
allow us to expand our geographic
reach for tower crane rental and
also allow us to go after some of the
longer term bare rental projects with
our crawler and rough terrain cranes
in that market area.”
maximum lifting capacity is
19 tonnes.
Maximum load
moment is 655

and Grove said
the GMK5220 has
one of the best
lifting charts
in the fiveaxle all-terrain
category. Up
to 77 tonnes of
counterweight can
be accommodated
– more than any other crane
in its class, according to Grove.
See future issues of International
Cranes and Specialized Transport for
more details.
The opening of the centre in
July follows AmQuip’s $60 million
purchase at ConExpo earlier this year
of more than 60 Potain and Terex
tower cranes. At the time of writing
in late August delivery of the first six
units was imminent. Between this
September and May 2006 AmQuip
is expecting delivery of one new
tower crane a week. “The situation
with the market is so good that
everything arriving is already
booked,” said Bates.
Bardonaro said demand for tower
cranes is higher because of inner city
growth and because newer tower
cranes are more neighbourhoodfriendly, quiet, cost effective, and
space- and user-friendly. More
contractors are using tower cranes on

New owner for
MAN Wolffkran
The MAN Group in Germany has
sold its tower crane subsidiary,
MAN Wolffkran, to a private group
headed by investors from Germany
and Switzerland. Dr Peter Schiefer
and Dr Hans-Peter Koller head the
group, which under the terms of the
deal, took retroactive control of the
German rental company Eisele
used the capacity at long radius
of a 220 tonne lattice boom
crawler to construct a Lufthansa
Airlines maintenance hangar at
Frankfurt Airport. The Liebherr
LR 1200 placed 12 m by 3 m roof
elements, including curved beams
and trusses with a gross weight of
1.5 tonnes, at radii up to 77 m. To
prevent interference with airport
radar equipment, the crane was not
allowed to exceed a height of 53 m.
Hours-of-Service rule changes
In the US a new Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA)
Hours-of-Service (HOS) rule goes into
effect 1 October. As in 2003 when
HOS was last updated, the new rule
announced on August 19 applies only
to commercial truck drivers. Motor
coach drivers remain covered by pre2003 HOS.
Significant of the changes is
that truckers who use sleeper berths
will have to rest for eight hours in
a row, and take another two
consecutive hours in the sleeper, off
duty or any combination of the two
before resetting their daily driving
schedule.
Previously, drivers using a sleeper
berth had to take 10 hours off duty,
but could split sleeper berth time into
two, provided neither was less than
two hours.

company from 1 January this year.
No details of the price of the
acquisition were available, but the
new owners confirmed that, “All
production sites are to be retained
and no job cuts are planned.” The
company will continue to operate as
Wolffkran.
Schiefer will take a role in
managing operations and said, “The
long term perspective is for a long
term commitment for the company.
Wolffkran has the engineering
competence and the distribution and
service structures for independent
growth activities. Beside the existing
quality market leadership we are
now targeting leading positions in all
our markets.” Schiefer continued,
“Together with our clients we will
further develop the potential of
new growth markets and innovative
services.”
New from Terex-Demag is the AC 160-2 telescopic wheeled mobile, an
upgrade of the AC 160-1. Maximum boom length, with a four segment
extension, is 96 m, an increase of 25% compared with the AC 160-1.
Many of the design features of the five axle AC 160-2 are carried over
from its predecessor. The 12.35 m carrier allows a turning radius of
11.25 m, aided by the electro-hydraulic rear-axle steering. At up to 45 km/h
both rear axles provide automatic steering. They lock at higher speeds,
improving directional stability, the manufacturer said.
Like the AC 160-1, the AC 160-2 uses the powertrain technology of the
larger AC 200-1. It is powered by a Daimler-Chrysler OM 502 LA diesel, rated
at 380 kW driving through an AS-Tronic gearbox built by ZF.
The AC 160-2 has the IC-1 crane control system with touch-screen and
colour display, as well as the UNIMEC boom telescoping and pinning system.

Statistics from the UK Health

the total number of fatal injuries to
workers in construction for 2004/5
at 72, an increase of just one on
2003/04. Due to a continued rise
in employment, however, the fatal
injury rate has fallen by 3% to 3.48

the downward trend of the last
four years, and the lowest level on
record. Rosi Edwards, acting chief

Record second quarter
results for Manitowoc
Manitowoc has reported record second quarter
results for the three month period ending 30 June
2005. The crane segment contributed largely to
these results with a 29% increase in sales compared
to the same period in 2004 and operating earnings
almost doubled.
Net sales in the segment increased to US$427.0
million, from $331.8 million in the 2004 period.
Operating earnings for the quarter leapt 97% to
$35.5 million, from $18.0 million in the second
quarter of last year.
CEO Terry Growcock commented, “The crane
segment achieved double-digit, year-over-year sales
growth this quarter in all product categories and
regions, with the exception of the North American
crawler crane market, which remained flat. Crawler
crane utilization and rental rates continue to improve,
which suggest that the North American market may
rebound later in 2005.
“The Crane segment’s improving financial
leverage, which resulted in strong operating results,
also translated into improved EVA performance.
In the first quarter, the crane segment generated
positive EVA for the first time in three years, and
this quarter the segment more than doubled its EVA
contribution. Cranes’ backlog of $530 million at the
end of the quarter is also noteworthy because we
have been able to sustain our backlog at levels more
than 50% higher than those at the end of 2004,”
Growcock continued.
WRCA purchases Aceros
Camesa rope manufacturer
Wire Rope Corporation of America (WRCA) has
completed its purchase of Aceros Camesa, and
Camesa, Inc. (Camesa) and their subsidiaries and
affiliated companies from Grupo Industrial Camesa
(GICSA). With the acquisition WRCA becomes the
largest wire rope manufacturer in the western
hemisphere and perhaps the world, the company
claimed. With all manufacturing facilities combined,
WRCA will have more than 250000 US tons of
wire mill capacity and rope mill capacity exceeding
100000 tons.
Ira Glazer, CEO of WRCA, said, “This
combination of two highly successful organizations
will offer additional opportunities for our customers,
our suppliers and our employees. The acquisition
will result in a larger, stronger operation with
considerable diversity in product and geographic
reach. Certainly our strategy includes building a
secure work environment with significant growth
opportunity for all of our employees.”
Camesa operates two plants in Mexico and
the US, and a distribution centre in Lima, Peru.
The Vallejo plant in Mexico City is the primary wire
rope manufacturing operation. Camesa controls a
majority share of the wire rope and pre-stressed
concrete strand markets in Mexico.
There are also two plants in Rosenberg, Texas.
The primary facility produces pre-stressed concrete
strand and the other produces general purpose wire
rope products sold locally. Worldwide, Camesa has

Towers boost Terex sales
Net sales at Terex Cranes for the second quarter
of 2005 increased $64.6 million to $341.5 million
from $276.9 million in the second quarter of 2004.
The company said this reflected improvement in all
businesses, particularly the tower crane sector.
SG&A (sales, general and administrative)
expenses increased in the second quarter of 2005
to $29.1 million, or 8.5% of sales, compared to
SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2004 of
$21.9 million, or 7.9% of sales.
Income from operations were up by $3.4 million
to $15.7 million, or 4.6% of sales, for the second
quarter of 2005, from $12.3 million, or 4.4% of
sales, for the same period 2004.
“The Terex Cranes group continued its
improvement over last year’s performance,” said
Terex Cranes president Steve Filipov, “As in the
first quarter of 2005, our business experienced
an increase in sales due to generally improving
market conditions. Our Italian, French, American,
and Australian operations all posted substantially
increased net sales when compared with their
2004 results. In North America, the growth was
mainly attributed to recovering rough terrain and
boom truck crane markets. Also positively impacting
our business were the price increases we put in
place late in 2004, which were intended to recover
margin erosion over the past twelve months due to
increased input costs.”
Filipov added, “As has been the case for the past
few years, much of the North American business
struggled to meet our profitability expectations. We
are actively pursuing sourcing initiatives to reduce
the cost of components, with Terex’s Acuña, Mexico
facility playing a vital role in this effort. Additionally,
since March 2005, we have increased our direct
workforce at our Waverly, Iowa location by over
40%, and as of June 27, 2005, we have started
production at Waverly on a second shift. These
actions should allow us to better absorb our
overhead costs, begin to deliver some of our higher
priced backlog, and position our business for the
anticipated marketplace recovery.”
The first Grove GMK5130-1 all-terrain in the
UK has been put to work by Midlands-based
crane rental company Dewsbury & Proud. One
of the first jobs for the 130 tonne capacity
crane was the installation of a pressurized
gas container in the confines of a soft-drink
plant. Dewsbury & Proud also used its other
new Grove all-terrain, the 55 tonne capacity
GMK3055. The 15 m long, 3 m diameter gas
container weighed 22 tonnes. Working with
27 m of main boom, the GMK5130-1 positioned
the tank at a 12 m radius.
Stevenson Crane Service took just one day to
erect the first flat top or “topless” tower crane
to operate on the US city of Chicago’s lakefront.
“Twenty years in the construction industry and
this is the only tower crane I’ve seen erected
in one day,” said Curt Slipke, vice president of
Stevenson Crane Service. Erecting the crane in
such a short time shaved thousands of dollars off
the assembly costs, the company claimed, and
went on to say that it typically takes two to three
full days to erect a standard tower crane.
The crane is a Linden-Comansa LC-400
flat top tower, contracted to Adjustable Forms
Corporation for Kenny Construction’s Museum
Park Tower 1 project. It was erected to a hook
height of 188 feet (57 m) with 200 feet (61 m)
of jib, all in a day’s work. The crane will climb
to a final hook height of 278 feet (85 m). Lifting
capacity is almost 14,000 pounds (6.4 tonnes) at
a radius of 197 feet (60 m).
Stevenson is a Linden-Comansa dealer and
also has a fleet of carry deck, hydraulic, rough
terrain, crawler, baby tower, tower, boom truck
and Herkules portable cranes.

Director
Wagenborg Nedlift BV
How long have you been in the
industry?
I have been working in the industry
since 1977, so for 28 years now
What has been the most
significant development?
The introduction of the self
propelled modular transporter
(SPMT) in the early 1980s. Not
so much the propulsion system
as the steering characteristics and
transportability of these trailers
have raised production capacity to
new levels
What is your favourite crane?
Demag AC 1600; a very efficient
and roadable machine, easy to rig
and de-rig and perfect to handle
any load within its capacity
Is the crane industry safe?
The industry in general is safe,
but unfortunately some companies
neglect safety rules in an effort to
gain economic advantage. These
companies, though few in number,
have a large impact on the image
of the industry as a whole
What disappoints you in the industry?
The fact that a lot of companies
base their investment decisions
on the pressure exerted on them
by financing companies and banks
rather than their own professional
expertise. Sheer size does not
incorporate quality, which is the
only means of survival long-term
Where do you see the industry in
20 years’ time?
There will probably be a
consolidation among mid-size
companies and eventually a
small number of global players
will remain, together with a
large number of local (regional)
companies.

Oil again
The problem weighing on the stock
markets, as ever, is the price of oil.
The cost of a barrel of US light crude
hit the $68-mark in week 34. This
spike came on the back of a series
of problems in global oil production.
It was hurricane season in the Gulf of
Mexico, which always tends to disrupt
supply to the US. On top of this, there
was unrest amongst oil workers in
both Ecuador and Nigeria, which
combined with falling stockpiles in the
US to send prices skywards.
All this pressure could persist
throughout the current season, and
there is nervous talk that prices
might even scale the heights they
did following the Islamic revolution in
Iran in 1980, which at today’s prices
would be about $80 a barrel.
Currencies
The problems with oil prices did not
help the strength of the US Dollar. It
lost 0.97% to the Yen, 1.88% to the
Euro and 3.5% to the Pound between
weeks 29 and 34.
Having appreciated strongly
throughout the first half of the year,
the Dollar seems to have reached
something of a plateau now. The US
Federal Reserve continues to raise
interest rates, but their effect is being
neutralised by other market forces.
Outlook

Up-beat results from both Terex and

Rising oil prices are the order of
the day at the moment, and even if
they do stabilise, they are unlikely
to come down significantly. This will
continue to suppress any gains on
the stock market, although the crane
sector may continue to do well. Order
backlogs are strong, and profitability
is reasonable, so the sector may
continue to improve despite the

imported by ship-builder, KURE, which later became
part of IHI (Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries).
A 90% market share is claimed and it is still
the synonym for climbing cranes in Japan. The
construction tower crane models are manufactured
by IUK, a subsidiary of IHI, under the IHI trademark.
In the early 1960s Schwing presented the
sophisticated KTK top slewing climbing luffing
cranes. The jib was connected behind the turntable
to allow self rigging of tower sections through
the slewing ring and for the crane to be jumped
from floor to floor with a limited number of tower
sections. By using its own hoist rope the crane
could be climbed. In addition, the distinctive hoist
rope reeving arrangement in operating mode let the
hook follow a horizontal path.

THE NEW TK16 EVOLUTION MOVES MOUNTAINS
T O WER CRANES
These basic design features can be found
on most Japanese built tower cranes. While
early models, for example, the IHI JCC-180 and
JCC-120 use their hoist rope arranged in multiple
falls between pulley blocks for climbing, modern
successors have hydraulic rams.
In addition, capacity increases dramatically – the
Schwing KTK 28 H offered a maximum capacity of
2.8 tonnes and 1.4 tonnes at a 20 m tip radius. The
first KURE luffer (rated 45 tonne-metres, developed
in 1962) was followed by 200 tonne-metre floor
climbing luffers in 1966 to build the first skyscraper
in Japan – the 35 storey Kasumigaseki Building
in Tokyo.
IHI again set a milestone, at the beginning of the
1990s, with the 70 tonne capacity IHI JCC 1500H.
It was first used to build the 70 storey Minato Mirai
21 skyscraper project on Yokohama’s waterfront.
Pushing the boundary even further are the purpose
built giants with up to 160 tonnes capacity at 35 m
radius, manufactured by Mitsubishi and IHI, used for
the steel erection on nearly 300 m-high suspension
bridge towers.
The success of the unique Japanese
construction tower crane concept is related
to the reformation of the Building Standard Law
in 1963, abolishing height restrictions of 31 m,
set up after the devastating Kanto Earthquake of
September 1923. Recently, further deregulation
has encouraged another construction boom since
the “bubble economy” era construction peak
of the early 1990s. Thanks to the allowance of
transferable development rights large scale projects
could be realized, adding floors to the normally
allowed number. In addition, the government is
promoting high rise housing in central Tokyo and
the replacement of weak buildings that could flatten
a whole area during a heavy earthquake.

favouring heavy steel structures or a combination of

inner city construction sites, the prohibition on
oversailing neighbouring properties, and the high
standard of comfort expected by crane drivers.
In contrast to Europe, Japanese tower cranes
are designed to withstand wind speeds of 55 m/sec

alongside an office tower. With raised boom the
6 m long tower sections are extracted through
the turntable
common in Europe with up to 60 or even 90 m
freestanding towers, do not provide the required
rigidity. Also, tie-in supports of side climbing cranes
are not in widespread use because the interference
caused by the different reactions of the crane and
the building to seismic forces must be considered.
Generally, tower cranes in Japan are installed
as floor climbers with a maximum free standing
tower height limited to between 30 and 36 m. With
a small basic frame from about 3.6 x 3.6 m to 4.2 x
4.2 m, the crane is fixed to the building’s structure.
Ballasted fixed or rail mounted undercarriages
commonly seen in Europe are not found in Japan.
Only in special cases is the tower crane upper
equipped as a roof mount crane with a rail mounted
undercarriage.
In Japan cranes are required to resist a
horizontal static force that is 0.2 times as great as
their own weight (0.2 G load), while loaded to their
safe working capacity. The National Institute of
Industry Safety suggests an increase to 0.3 – 1.0 G
load, as floor climbing cranes on top of a building
are exposed to stronger seismic force amplified by
the building.
A distinctive feature of traditional Japanese
tower cranes is the use of cylindrical tower
sections instead of the square frame lattice type
mast because they are stronger. Although square
frame lattice tower sections are more economically
transported and rigged, (instead of 48 nut and bolt
sets only 40 are used to connect two sections),
above 700 tonne-metres cylindrical towers are still
preferred. For example, the tubular tower section of
a 900 tonne-metre class crane is 2.5m diameter,
4.5 m long and weighs 8.4 tonnes.
For safety reasons the climbing procedure is
restricted to one generally no longer used outside
Japan. New tower sections are moved by the crane,
through its slewing ring, instead of using a climbing
frame with a large opening in the front face to
insert tower sections. Tower size is, therefore,
restricted. In contrast to European cranes, Japanese
counterparts in the 700 tonne-metre class still use
a 1.90 x 1.90 m tower system. To raise the free

standing height above about 40 m,
base sections must be carried out with
rigid corner struts, without increasing
the outer dimension, to allow climbing
through the turntable.
This design method for climbing
also requires a wide machinery deck
that, in many cases, must be split
longitudinally for transport. Together
with the side mounted cabin and the
electrical cabinet platform, even a 300
tonne-metre class crane machinery
deck is easily 6.80 m wide, while its
European counterpart is about half
that. Because Japanese cranes have
to insert the tower sections through the
slewing ring, the boom is connected to
the machinery deck at the back of the
machinery platform. This means there is a wide a
frame surrounding the boom foot, generally made
up from transportable units connected with screws.
In contrast to European style climbing cranes
Japanese luffers can climb right from the start,
when the machinery deck with climbing frame
is resting on the base section. This gives a low
rigging height for A-frame and boom erection. An
earthquake-proven design feature other than the
rigid screw connection devices instead of slug-bolts,
is the use of ropes instead of jib pendants.
Narrow and fast
The narrow city sites where often a number of
cranes have to work close together mean Japanese
tower cranes are, in most cases, luffers but moving
counterweights are not used. While boom length,
compared with European versions, is still restricted
to about 40 or 50 m, there is a recent trend towards
a short tail radius, as found in Europe.
Although most Japanese tower crane hoists are
operated on four part lines, fast lifting speeds are
achieved in comparison to European models, thanks
to powerful hydro-electric drives and tandem hoist
drums. In four line fall condition, a lifting height
of 250 m to about 290 m can be achieved with
standard winches. Generally, Japanese luffers of

The compact machinery platform of the new
Kitagawa JCL700NK with the side mounted electric
cabinet and cabin unit
comparable lifting capacity are 30 % faster and,
unlike typical European models, there is no need to
change the number of falls to get the required lifting
capacity. The hook block reeving and the use of two
hoisting drums, together with two fixing points at the
boom tip, prevent any twisting of the hoist rope.
As IUK points out, best selling cranes are those
around 200 and 400 tonne-metres. In each capacity
class about 150 cranes have been built. Annual
production of large and medium sized climbing
cranes in recent years has been between 10 and 20
units. Many climbing cranes were supplied during
the building boom at the beginning of the 1990s
and now they are up for replacement.
Again, the average maximum lifting capacity
requirement has increased, so innovations on the
Japanese tower crane market are concentrated
in the 300 and 700 tonne-metre classes. As a
standard feature Japanese medium and large sized
tower cranes have a side mounted, air-conditioned,
fully enclosed walk-in electrical cabinet and a
comfortable, spacious cabin.
In addition to a TV camera that gives a “bird’s
eye view” of the load on a large monitor in the
operator cabin, the all-new crane generation such
as the JCC-V range from IUK, also has a touchsensitive multi-function display and advanced

Climbing method
Bearing in mind the safety discussions on European
style climbing procedures following the fatal 2003
accident in Canary Wharf, London, it might be worth
taking a closer look at the Japanese method of
jacking a tower crane. The climbing cage is an
upper lifting frame fixed to the crane turntable and
a lower frame. With either tubular or square lattice
tower sections, the steps to climbing a crane are
as follows.
1) The upper and lower frames are locked to the
tower by four pins in holes alongside the mast.
2) The upper pins are hydraulically withdrawn and
the main cylinder between the upper and the
still-locked lower frame is extended.
3) The upper frame is locked again with a pin
before the lower frame is unlocked.
4) By compressing the main cylinders the lower
frame elevates itself and is then locked.
The above steps are repeated three to four times
for each tower section climb. For internal climbing
the same jacking device can be used – the boom
foot section provides a hole where the tower can
pass through, the boom is parked at maximum
radius while the tower can be jacked with nearly its
full length through the turntable of the machinery
deck resting on support beams on the already built
floor. The base foundation section of the crane
leaves the ground and is secured three floors below
the machinery deck by expanding or unfolding its
support beams. Then the complete upper crane
Working at the Kinshityou construction project
are older IHI JCC models, an IHI JCC-V600S, and a
Kitagawa JCL460H
climbs alongside the tower to the maximum
freestanding height. By jumping the crane over
several floor levels with only about 30 m free
standing tower, the internal climbing crane can
complete super high-rise skyscrapers before being
dismantled in several steps using specially designed
roof mounted assist cranes.
Aside from small tower cranes, up to 120 tonnemetres, built by several manufacturers, the large
construction cranes are manufactured by IUK (up
to 1500 tonne-metres), Kitagawa (up to 700 tonnemetres) and Ogawa (up to 600 tonne-metres).
In 2000, IUK updated the JCC (jib climbing
crane) range by introducing the sophisticated JCC-V
series in the lifting capacity range from 190 to 700
tonne-metres. Compared with older models the
counter radius is reduced by roughly 2 m thanks
to the missing counterjib stay and a more compact
machinery deck. By using a unique design of luffing
rope sheave block and suspension ropes, the luffing
rope is no longer running to the boom tip, which
simplifies crane erection.
In the cabin is a touch screen and all operation
data can be displayed online. Freestanding tower
height has been increased dramatically, there are
30% fewer assembly bolts and the cranes weigh
almost 17% less than older models. Boom sections
are connected by bolts instead of screws and the
triangular shape helps reduce weight. Hydraulic
tower base adjustment simplifies adaptation to
different building site conditions in floor climbing
applications.
In mid-2004 IUK presented the newest crane
in the competitive 700 tonne-metre class – the
JCC-V700K. Its specification includes: 25 tonne
rated capacity; 46 m maximum outreach; 40 to
130 m/min hoisting speed; and 45 m freestanding
tower height on 1.9 x 1.9 m tower sections.
Under the trade name Builman, Kitagawa
responded some months later by introducing the
JCL 700NK. Rated capacity out to an outreach
radius of 28 m is 25 tonnes, while 11 tonnes can
be lifted at the 45 m maximum radius. Hoisting
speed is 46 to 155 m/min and 10 tonnes can be
lifted at up to 110 m/min. Maximum freestanding

tower height is 49.6 m.

City submarine
Last month in Milan, Italy, it was like the
Beatles were playing in town again. A
submarine (not a yellow one), on its way
to the city centre, attracted a crowd of
200000. The serious moving job gave
Italian specialist Fagioli star-like status.
Gino Koster reports
he famous Leonardo da Vinci
national museum of science
and technology in Milan,
Italy, acquired a submarine
from the Italian Navy in 2000. The
S-506 Enrico Toti, built in 1967, was
the first submarine in post-war Italy
and was active during the Cold War
tracking Soviet submarines in the
Mediterranean. Its active life ended
after some 30 years on duty,
to be saved and put to rest
in the museum.

At the naval base in Augusta,
Sicily, the Toti was restored, except
for engine and batteries, which
were removed to save weight and to
minimise draft – essential on the last
part of its floating life navigating the
inland River Po.
Before it could start its river trip
Toti was towed north from Sicily,
crossing the Adriatic Sea, to Chioggia.
Here, at the mouth of the River Po,
two inland vessels replaced the
tug. The draft of the Toti had to be
reduced by a further 400 mm. The
simple but effective and cost efficient
solution was to load both ships with
sand and position them each side of
the submarine. Cables were slung
underneath the submarine and
secured to the deck of each vessel. By
removing the sand, the combination of
the three vessels now reached such a
shallow draft that they could navigate
the river without grounding problems.

The submarine on
its way through
Milan city centre
On 6 May 2001 Toti reached the
inland port of Cremona, the closest
point to Milan that can be reached
by water. From here it was still some
100 km by road to the Leonardo
da Vinci museum in the city centre.
But it was also from here that the
physical dimensions and weight of
the submarine really started to play a
deciding role. Toti is 46.20 m long,
4.75 m wide and up to 4.30 m high.
Its original weight was 536 tonnes
and this had already been reduced
to 408.5 tonnes by removing the
batteries and engine.
Planning
Early 2002 investigations started
in to the organisation, routing and
financing of the whole operation. The
Polytechnic University of Milan, the
local tramway, energy companies, and
Milan city technical authorities each
started their investigations to draw
up the technical and organisational
requirements for the operation. This
process lasted more than three years.
Early this year the museum, the
Navy and the City of Milan worked
hard to reach a conclusion. Between
April and June a series of technical
meetings were held and extensive
inspections were carried out along
the route, especially in Milan city
centre. This included making threedimensional static stress analyses
of ancient overpasses in the historic
18th Century underground canal
system, designed by Leonardo
da Vinci. Also, other underground
overpasses, like those in the subway
system, were carefully checked. And
the road geometry of the proposed
route through the city was well
documented. Evaluation of the
investigations showed that the route
was feasible, but required substantial
adaptation. Some 400 m of
sidewalks, 20 lamp posts, 12 traffic
lights and numerous electrical tram
wires were temporarily removed.
More serious was the weight
problem. A special list was drawn
up containing 19 critical locations to
be passed. In close cooperation with
the engineering department of heavy
transport and lifting specialist Fagioli
the optimum transport configuration
was determined. Fagioli would use
two of its Cometto modular platform
trailers, each consisting of a six line
SP6-type self-propelled, and a nine
line conventional, with eight wheels
per line. Each 3 m wide 15 line trailer
The Enrico Toti

new home
26
carried a load distribution frame and
a turntable. Trailers, supports and the
submarine, further reduced in weight,
totalled 458 tonnes or 3.3 tonnes/m2.
Four of the underground structures
would not support that weight. To
overcome this problem a series of
temporary bridge panels was designed
and built. Each panel is 17.50 m long,
2.01 m wide and 0.28 m high.
Water to road
The plan was to cover the 92 km
from Cremona Port to the museum
over five consecutive nights starting
8 August 2005. Before Toti could be
moved, however, it had to be lifted
from the water and before that its
weight was reduced further by
removing 20 tonnes of lead ballast
from the hull and ballast from the
keel. Slings were positioned around
the hull and the upper part of the
superstructure was removed.
Fagioli used its 400 tonne gantry
crane and a 400 tonne Liebherr
LTM 1400 owned by Midolini to lift
the Toti out of the water. On 23 July it
was put in its transport and positioning
saddles and loaded on the 240 wheels
of Fagioli modular trailers.
Finally, on Monday 8 August at
21.00 hours, the 58.90 m long and
7.10 m high transport was on its way.
The first stage of the 30 km journey
was to Corte Madama. Surrounded
by a fleet of support vehicles and
assistants, including the army, the
trailers travelled at a speed of about
6 km/h. During the day and in the
evening the parked up Toti was a real
attraction. This did not change when
it started the 40 km second stage
of the journey to Settala, which left
Tuesday at 22.00 hours and arrived
six hours later.
Again, the Toti was the centre of
attention Wednesday and on its rest
day, Thursday. So far, the convoy
had passed through the often-small
towns without problems, but the

more complicated part was still to
come. The convoy left Settala at
21.00 hours Thursday evening to
arrive in via Toffetti, a stretch of only
16 km, nine hours later. The convoy
had to diagonally cross an 11 lane
temporary bridge at via Rogoredo
and again at the Piazza Mistral. The
2nd Brigade of the Army’s Engineers,
assisted by cranes, installed the
temporary bridges.

Before the last, 7 km, leg of the
journey the convoy was parked in via
Toffetti and attracted some 70000
people. But this was still fewer than
what was to come. The impact of
the preparations on the city was
tremendous. In addition to the
adaptations, two railway lines had to
be stopped and wires cut, two subway
lines were closed for two days and 13
bus lines routes were stopped or rerouted. Four-lane temporary bridges
had to be installed in two places.
Star attraction
All the preparations brought some
200000 Milanese onto the street
when the convoy started its
final stage at 21.00 hours. The
route included negotiating seven
90 degree corners, including a kind
of U-turn to get Toti head-on to the
museum. The city haul went well and
at dawn the Fagioli crew manoeuvred
the trailers with the submarine on
to the premises of the museum. It
sailed safe on Fagioli’s wheels.
With the Toti at its new home
the next job was to unload and
position it. Fagioli installed four of
its Riggers EZ Lifter 600 hydraulic
lifting gantries under which Toti was
manoeuvred and lifted free. A final
support was put in place to receive
the Enrico Toti on its new and final
location in the museum. ■

Going by bus
The product literature for
new equipment these days
frequently mentions CANbus,
but what is it and why is it
there? LINDSAY GALE explains
the principle and how crane
manufacturers are exploiting
its capabilities
An extensive CANbus network links all the onboard
systems on Grove’s GMK5130 all terrain
he Controller Area Network (CAN) serial bus
system was developed by Robert Bosch
for use in on-road automotive applications,
and made its first appearance at the 1986
Detroit motor show. The first CAN chip, from Intel,
made its appearance the following year. Over time
the system has become accepted as the leading
industry standard data communication system, and
increasingly it is being found on even the humblest
of today’s construction equipment.
Now 20 chip manufacturers produce CANcapable interface devices and there are a multitude
of CAN-capable devices and systems available for
almost any control, function or data display need.
A simple explanation of the technology
is as follows. Physically, a CANbus is just two
wires with a CAN controller (the chip) that allow
numerous sensors, actuators or other input/output
(I/O) devices on a machine to be connected so that
each can communicate with any or all of the other
devices.
The two wires are the system’s backbone and
its first obvious benefit is the elimination of the
need for an extensive wiring loom connecting each
device to any of the others it needs to communicate
with. Theoretically, the number of devices that can
be connected by the two wires is unlimited. In
practice, however, the number of nodes available is
determined by the type of chip used, with common
T
types allowing 32, 64 or 110 per network. The
addition of repeaters or bridges, however, allows
additional devices to be connected to the network.
One key to the success of CANbus is the speed
of data transmission. With up to 40 m (132 feet) of
cable, 1 Mb/sec data transmission is achievable,
while 80 kb/sec is possible on cable runs up to
1000 m (3280 feet) without the need for repeaters.
The basic principle is straightforward. Rather
than generating a signal addressed to another
specific device via a dedicated connection, a
signal containing an identifier that indicates the
contents of the message is transmitted onto the
CANbus. All the other ‘smart’ devices on the bus
that are intended to react to that specific message
then recognise the identifier, ‘read’ the message
and respond to it according to their individual
programming. The crucial point to note is that
they do so simultaneously. This provides a high
degree of flexibility for network configuration and
at the same time makes it simple to extend a given
network.
Reliable transmission
Transmission reliability is another crucial element
with the CANbus protocol. It offers several
capabilities, including frame checking and
bit monitoring, which mean signal errors in the
transmitted data can be recognised and then
corrected. This allows it to be used in demanding
applications.
In addition to indicating the content of the
message, the identifier also contains information on
the priority of a particular signal. Should numerous
signals attempt to get on the bus at the same time;
b
The Hawe V60N variable displacement piston
pump is typical of the kind of devices that can
be linked by CANbus to provide electro-hydraulic
functions. The V60N has a flow rate of
60 cm3/rev, a maximum operating pressure
of 400 bar and is 10% smaller than its
predecessor. An integrated power controller
and pressure limitation are standard

the highest priority signal will be the first to be
transmitted. Two formats of identifier are available
– 11 bit standard and 29 bit extended.
The result is an on-board network, using
just two wires, that contains control elements
and sensors that read and send data, actuators
that operate the various working elements of
the machine and gauges that read and record
data irrespective of the location of the various
components.
Quite apart from the cost benefits for
manufacturers that result from simplified wiring,
CANbus lies behind many of the design and
operating benefits that are frequently touted for
today’s cranes. Machines can be tailored to specific
customer requirements by changing the software,
thus providing a cost saving. Electro hydraulic
systems can be controlled by push buttons and
small, armrest or console-mounted joysticks, which
eliminate heavy control levers. These improve driver
comfort, allow longer working hours and minimise
stress from vibrations, shocks or fatigue.
Fewer components means greater reliability. In
addition, the use of electrically activated hydraulic
actuators means their controllers can be mounted
near to them, which minimises hydraulic pipe work.
Further capability
And then there is the information side. By adding
other equipment to the CANbus, such as remote
controls, GPS equipment, radio transmitters or

system on Liebherr’s

CANbus linking in with
Liebherr’s proprietary
bus technology
video cameras, a plethora of additional capabilities
become available. Online tracking of a crane’s
location, remote diagnostics and fault finding,
weighing, statistics and general continuous data
collection and storage to allow a detailed picture
of the crane’s operations to be built up, are all
possible.
The acceptance of CANbus has now reached
a stage where it is part of international standards.
As a result, a wide range of ‘smart’ devices are
available from numerous manufacturers that can be
‘plugged’ into a CANbus network and programmed
for specific applications that can communicate with
each other.
CANbus in action
In real life, most CAN-controlled machines
have more than one bus, usually linked by CAN
connectors to allow each separate bus to share
information as required with the others.
Grove, for one, is making full use of the CANbus
protocol in its Electronic Control Operating System
(ECOS) found on its most recent models. For
example, the company’s GMK5130 five axle 130
tonne all-terrain, launched in December 2004, has
five separate but interconnected CANbus networks
– four on the superstructure and one on the carrier
– each with its own ESX (freely programmable
electronic controller) module.
The CANbus in the carrier is used to control
and monitor all systems on the lower part of the
machine – outriggers, hydraulics and engine
– and, through its link with the networks in the
superstructure, it allows the necessary information
to be displayed to the operator in the cab.
The four superstructure CANbuses link all the
valves, switches, actuators and sensors with the
controls and on-board data displays. One controls
boom functions through a telescopic cylinder
I/O board, while another I/O board on the second
CANbus provides connections to the various
elements required for superstructure functions. The
two remaining CANbuses are used for data display
and joystick control functions. All four networks
are linked via three ESX control modules, with the
carrier ESX module also linked into the control
network to allow relevant data to be transmitted
and displayed as required.
According to Grove, the high level of safety
provided by the technology is of particular note.
Real-time transmission of control parameters allows
dynamic control of operating and shutdown speeds
when pre-set operating limits are reached.
Bucking the trend
Not all manufacturers are convinced, however, that
CANbus is the most appropriate communication
protocol for crane applications. Liebherr
recognises that CANbus offers an acceptable, and
standardised, solution for communication between
the engine and transmission and other on-board
systems, but says it is less so for certain crane
applications. Specifically, Liebherr believes the
long cable runs on today’s cranes have a negative
impact on the signal quality and, therefore, data
transmission.
As a result, Liebherr has developed its own
proprietary bus protocol, Liebherr System Bus
(LSB-Bus) that it believes provides optimised
crane operation. The company’s cranes, therefore,
have a data transmission network that makes
use of both technologies. CANbus is used to
provide communication between the engine and
transmission on the carrier and the engine on the
superstructure, and the various displays in front of
the operator.
As an example, Liebherr’s latest wheeled mobile
crane, the LTM 1200, announced to the world
in the May issue News, page 7, has a Liebherr
Computer Controlling (LICCON) system that is made
up of three LBS nodes and two CANbus nodes. One
links the carrier engine and transmission to three
I/O modules – one for suspension and transmission
control, one to control the differential locks, and
the third to control various engine functions. All
three modules also supply links to the data display
modules. A second CANbus links in to an I/O to
control the injection pump on the superstructure
engine. All other data transmission to control crane
functions and to transmit operating data concerning
these operations to the crane cab displays is via
■
Liebherr’s own bus protocol.

Innovations
lead to growth
he period between 2000 and 2004 introduced some uncertain, unstable economic times for our industry. Although
some members fared well during those trying times, others were forced to reduce their payroll, delay facility and
equipment modernization, work through mergers and acquisitions or, in some cases, shut down.
Profit margins overall were thin. With fewer major projects being undertaken and less overall demand for
trucking and crane and rigging services, more companies found themselves bidding on the same work. Companies that
had operated within defined geographic boundaries began travelling further and working harder to compete for business.
In many ways, SC&RA’s membership recruitment and retention efforts have reflected the health of the industry. During
the trying times, the Association worked very hard to deliver value and give members a competitive edge. We are confident
that our efforts helped some members weather the storm.
Consequently, in the face of a shrinking industry, SC&RA still managed to close each of the last three years with a
record high for the total number of members. Granted, growth during those years came slowly, but many associations
suffered membership losses over the same period. Not until the second half of 2004 did the economy begin to regain
traction. Since then, SC&RA also has surged forward. Over the last 18 months, the Association has added members and
improved services in a number of ways, including:
■ the introduction of two new official member magazines – International Cranes & Specialized Transport and sister
publication, American Cranes & Transport
■ improvement of the Annual Conference, the Crane & Rigging Workshop, and the Specialized Transportation Symposium
– each of which has benefited from more substance, more exhibitors and better speakers than ever before
■ more active involvement in the regulatory agencies (DOT, OSHA, IRS, etc.) to better represent your interests
■ more active involvement in industry coalitions that work to foster economic growth and properly educate the legislature
on the operational realities of our industry
■ the reintroduction of the Financial Benchmarking Study and the Financial Management Seminar after a hiatus of
several years
■ strengthening and growing the SC&RA/SRS insurance program
■ the creation and dissemination of new products, including the Recommended Practices for Telescopic Hydraulic
Gantry Systems manual and video, the Load Securment video, the Model Pilot Car Training Program, and the Safety
First video series.
These efforts all help SC&RA retain members. The brightening economy makes this a perfect time to reach for new
heights. The quickest way to succeed is to build membership. During good times and bad, one important factor has
remained the same: SC&RA’s current members are the most credible, effective recruiters of new members. We want to
continue that tradition.
SC&RA is approaching its short-term goal of building membership to 1200 companies.
We are calling on every member to try to recruit at least one new member. Just think of how we could improve
existing products and services or add new ones if even half our members were successful in this effort. Any member that
helps SC&RA recruit three new members in a year will earn the President’s Award. A larger version of the award goes to
members who help bring in at least five new members in a year. President’s Award winners are recognized during the
Annual Conference, in trade publications and in the SC&RA Membership Directory. Personal recognition aside, our member
recruiters benefit from belonging to a larger, stronger SC&RA… and from earning the gratitude of members they recruit.
To be eligible, members only need to supply basic information about prospective members on a Membership Lead
Form, which the Association has started attaching periodically to the weekly SC&RA Newsletter. Forms are also available by
calling SC&RA at +1 703-698-0291.The Association will follow up by sending each contact a comprehensive membership
recruitment packet. How do you identify prospective members? Any company that is somehow involved with the industry
that strives to safely, legally and profitably transport, lift and erect oversize and overweight items has a home at SC&RA.
Help foster SC&RA growth and strength by recruiting a new member today. We appreciate your
■
continuing support.

PILOT C A R S
The aim of the Pilot
Car Escort Training
Manual is to help
improve safety
and to create a
level playing field
among escort
vehicle services
for oversize and
or overweight
loads in the US. Its
developers hope
it will be adopted
as a certification
program by as
many states and
provinces as
possible

Pilot training
n 2 January 2000, a
tractor-combination vehicle
transporting an oil refinery
condenser unit in Glendale,
California, US missed a turn on its
planned route. The driver passed over
a highway-railroad grade crossing,
turned around and was attempting
to drive back over the crossing when
the vehicle became lodged on the
railroad tracks. About 90 seconds
later, a commuter train collided with
the semi-trailer, resulting in minor
injuries and damages of more than
$2 million.
The National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB) determined
that probable causes of the accident
included the following:
■ inadequate preparation and route
planning for the movement
■ poor coordination of the
movement among the truck
driver, pilot car drivers, police
escorts and permitting authorities
■ a lack of recognition of the
potential hazard caused by the
accident vehicle at the grade
crossing
■ the fatigue of the tractor-trailer
driver and pilot car escorts.
NTSB further found that the industry
was hindered by the lack of best
practice guidelines to assist escort
vehicles in the safe movement of
permitted oversize/overweight loads.
O
The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) stepped in to ensure that
such guidelines were developed.
FHWA awarded SC&RA a grant to
prepare the guidelines in cooperation
with the Commercial Vehicle Safety
Alliance (CVSA). SC&RA was a logical
choice because the Association has
been committed to improving pilot
car safety for decades.
SC&RA had developed its own
basic pilot car certification program
by the early 1990s. “It was a great
program, but for some reason it never
really gained the support of carriers,”
says Tom Alexander, Sunshine Flag
Car Service, Hershey, Pennsylvania.
His company received certification
from SC&RA in September 1992.
When pulling together a working
group to develop the guidelines,
SC&RA drew upon the expertise
of Alexander and several others
who had been involved with the
certification efforts. The group knew,
however, when it met for the first
time in November 2003, that the new
guidelines would need to be much
more comprehensive than those in
the earlier program.
“We went over everything that
was already out there with a finetoothed comb, from existing state and
federal regulations to pilot car training
materials already being used,” says
Teresa Baird, Redneck Enterprises,
Ingacio, Colorado. “Members of our
group came from all parts of the
country and Canada, and it helped to
hear the different perspectives.”
Baird’s company, which she
operates with husband Dale, was
among those that had already
developed a comprehensive training
program to meet the contractual
requirements of several oil-company
clients. “I’m such an advocate of
training programs because they’ve
worked well in our company,” she
says. “When everybody is trained to
do everything the same way, it takes
the mystery out of dispatching.”
Before publishing the multicomponent program in October 2004,
the working group sought comments
from other organizations, including
the Western Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials,
the Southern Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials,
a dispatch service and several heavy
haulers. “It was quite the undertaking
to get this to everybody’s liking,”
says Baird.
Flexible format
The comprehensive training program
includes the Pilot Car Escort: Best
Practices Guidelines, the Pilot Car
Escort Training Manual , the Pilot
Car Escort Study Guide , the Pilot
Car Escort Training Test , and the
Pilot Car Escort Training PowerPoint
Presentation. Each of the program
components can be used individually
or in conjunction with one or more
of the others. This format offers
flexibility to meet the needs of a
variety of companies – from the one
or two employee pilot car operation
to the more complex multi-state
operation. Also included is the
separate Law Enforcement Escort
Best Practices Guidelines.
“I’m very proud of the work we
did on this program,” says Robbi
Grinton, Alternate Solutions, Burford,
Ontario, Canada. “There’s nothing
INTERNATIONAL CRANES AND SPECIALIZED TRANSPORT ■ SEPTEMBER 2005
,&)&SGI
IC0905 SC&RA Pilot Car.indd 42

better out there to tell someone new
how to do the job properly.” Grinton
also points out that customers and
insurance companies have been
very impressed with the program
and perceive the logos of SC&RA,
FHWA and CVSA on the cover of
each component as evidence that the
material can be trusted. Insurance
underwriters slashed premiums for
Grinton’s company’s insurance after
reviewing the program.
While completing the program,
the FHWA discovered that states
had differing standards of pilot car
equipment. This lack of uniformity can
result in operational inefficiencies,
safety lapses and confusion for pilot
car escorts supporting inter-state
over-dimensional load movements.
To remedy this situation, FHWA
added a final component to the
program – the Pilot Car Escort Best
Practices Equipment Standards .
SC&RA and CVSA will also participate
in this program.
possible. “If the whole country takes
this to heart, companies everywhere
will be on a level playing field,”
says Alexander. “What’s the sense
in having different tests in different
states, or different equipment
standards, or different general liability
insurance requirements?”
Baird characterises the program
as a “giant step for our industry that
can greatly reduce substandard
performance.” But she stresses that
no amount of training can completely
prepare anyone for the challenges
encountered in the pilot car industry.
“We’ve been in this business 18
years, and we’re still learning,” she
says. “I tell my people, ‘If you go
through the day and don’t learn
something, you’ve gone through the
■
day with your eyes closed.’”
The Pilot Car Best Practices
Training Program is available
on the SC&RA web site,
www.scranet.org. Click the
SC&RA Store button at the top
of the page. The program is
listed in the Technical and
Reference Items section.
The cost is $6.95 for members
and $8.95 for non-members.
Wider adoption
To date, 14 states have indicated
they will use the Pilot Car Best
Practices Training Program in part
or in its entirety for programs being
established or refined. Alexander,
Baird and Grinton all hope that the
Pilot Car Escort Training Manual will
be adopted as certification programs
by as many states and provinces as

EQUIPMENT A N D A C C ES S OR I ES
Below the hook lifters
A series of engineered, below the hook lifting
devices are available for the rail transport
industry from Whiting Corporation. This
product line includes locomotive tongs to
grip traction motors as well as wheel and
motor combination lifting tongs.
For railcars used in freight, passenger
and transit applications, automated
wheel tongs are available in
addition to combination wheel and
axle tongs for lifting wheels that
are lying in a vertical or horizontal
position. The equipment is
designed and tested to comply
with ASME B30.20.
Tightening less
Four drive shaft couplings from Rotabolt have
been fitted on an overhead gantry crane at Corus
Teesside Cast Products in the north of England. It is
claimed that after an initial re-tightening check, no
further tightening of any of the 80 bolts has been
required since November 2004.
New RCIs from
Rayco-Wylie
Five new rated capacity indicators (RCI) have been
launched by Rayco-Wylie Systems. These are: the
i3000 with graphical display; the W3100 RCI with
processor and display in one box; the W3200 designed
to fit ergonomically in the crane console; the W3350
radio RCI; and the W3375 radio load indicator.
On the i3000, the screen can be customized
according to individual specifications. Features on the
systems include: datalogging; outrigger monitoring;
range limiting; and GPS and remote data transmission.
The i3000 and W3100 have multi-point calibration.
Once the system on the first crane is calibrated, a copy
of the calibration data can be transferred to the next
same model of crane.

"Dependable Service Is Not Expensive - IT'S PRICELESS"
ECONOMIC WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION
At last, an accurate wind speed and direction system
at a sensible price. This professional low cost
system utilises ultrasonic technology - there are
no moving parts, so it can be left in place for long
periods of time. There is no reduction in accuracy
due to wear, which reduces costly calibration and
maintenance and it is far less susceptible to particles
in the air, such as salt, chemicals etc.
Data is viewed via a dedicated display unit with a
clear backlit LCD or direct to a computer.
An aluminium mounting mast, junction box and
cabling ensure a quick and easy installation.
