Team effort: Smith Cranes, Pollock Cranes and Resolve Marine work together to erect the massive heavy-lift barge crane that will recover sections of the sunken cargo ship Rena. |
9 October 2013Team effort: A trio of crane experts work together as Rena recovery continues.
Smith Cranes was engaged earlier this month by Pollock Cranes to supply a solution to erect the boom of the RMG500 recovery crane.
The Resolve Marine 350-tonne heavy-lift shear leg barge crane (RMG500) has been brought in to recover sections of the sunken Rena.
The RMG500 boom weighed in at 175-tonne and measured 50m long.
Smith Cranes supplied the Liebherr LR1280 (280-tonne) crane to assist with the job.
Smith Cranes also supplied the lifting gear and 130-tonne SWL tandem lift beam, along with a remote angle sensor to ensure the cranes' weight did not transfer during the lift. Do you have a similar type job requirement?
