Lift Planning Requires Strict Attention When Working On Wind Projects →

Mobile cranes, especially crawlers and all-terrains, are critical components in wind turbine installation. When it comes to hoisting blades and tower sections into place, cranes provide the lifting capability contractors can't get with other machines. But there are basic ground rules contractors need to know in planning turbine transport, installation and maintenance.

ALL Brings Together Two 900-Ton ATs to Replace Downtown Cleveland Railroad Bridge →

The challenge: replace a section of railroad bridge in a close, urban setting — in which you will need to use the remaining tracks to both roll the old bridge section away and roll the replacement section into the work zone. The solution: a rarely seen heavy lift operation requiring two 900-ton cranes. Plus, they'll be working side-by-side, but won't be performing any dual picks. "This kind of job only happens once or twice a career," said Chad Rados, project coordinator of ALL Erection & Crane Rental, flagship branch of the ALL Family of Companies, which provided cranes for the job.

900-ton AT Sets Bridge Beams On Michigan State Campus →

On the campus of Michigan State University, Farm Lane Road is the most important north-south corridor. Its bridge, spanning the Red Cedar River, connects the two sides of the campus and provides access to a legendary landmark, The Rock — a boulder that has been decorated thousands of times since its donation to the university in 1873. When a 2019 inspection resulted in a downgrade to the Farm Lane Road bridge's weight limits, it was only a matter of time before replacement would be necessary. Click for more...

Two-Crane Solution Solves Access Challenge When Building Inside Old Natatorium →

Converting an indoor swimming pool in Lorain, Ohio, into a meeting area and classrooms was going to take precast planks. However, there was no obvious way to get the planks inside the existing, about-to-be-transformed natatorium structure.
