The inaugural lift for the new 700 tonner took place at a Veterans Administration Hospital and involved construction of a mechanical room and lifting six air handler sections, which were each 9 metres long and weighed 7 tonnes.
The crane was set up on the street and had to lift over another building to reach the work area.
The operator picked each section from a flatbed parked on the street, lifted and swung over the interceding building, and set each piece atop the target structure behind it. “Given where we had to set up the crane, higher capacity machines wouldn’t have fit, and cranes small enough to fit couldn’t lift the necessary weight at that distance,” said Brian Meek, equipment specialist at All Crane.
