Syncronised lift: Six cranes perform a tandem lift of a Tuatara Structures roof at Greendale, Darfield. |
12 October 2015Six-crane 'tandem' lift eliminates 95% of work @ height
The 60-tonne, 65m-long roof structure for Tuatara Structures of Greendale was hoisted today by a team of six cranes in less than one hour.
During the lift portal legs, which were attached to the roof trusses by one bolt each, went through a 90 degree rotation.
Six cranes (Liebherr LTF1045 x2, Liebherr LTC1045, Liebherr LTM1060, Grove GMK4100L and Grove GMK5130) were on-site at 6.30am and lifting by 9am. Load carried was 10 tonne per crane, completing the lift by 10am.
With 95% of roof production undertaken at ground level, many hazards were eliminated and significant savings were made through a reduced need for high-access machinery, scaffolding, edge protection and other specialist safety equipment. Do you have a similar type job requirement?
