TELEMATICS

THREE EASY WAYS YOUR CRANE TELEMATICS SYSTEM CAN BOOST FUEL SAVINGS

By Lucy Perry

CEG CORRESPONDENT

THE GOAL OF TELEMATICS IS TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR THE CRANE OWNER, said Marco Busconi, Terex rough-terrain crane engineering director.

With the technology, equipment owners and managers can make more effective business decisions as they maintain a safe work environment for employees and site owners. One of the biggest areas in which 4

telematics can impact your crane operations is in fuel conservation.

It’s no surprise that a rise in fuel costs is having a sizeable impact on fleet operators, said Anthony Laras, national manager transport of telematics manufacturer Teletrac Navman.

“However, this difficult situation offers a unique opportunity for fleet operators to take control of fuel costs to ensure longterm success, rather than just weathering this short-term fuel storm,” he said.

In fact, fuel is the second-largest expense for trucking companies beyond labor, according to telematics technology developer PowerFleet.

The statistics applies to construction fleets of all types, including mobile cranes.

“According to data from the EPA, fleets could save thousands of dollars per truck each year by limiting excessive idling and reducing maximum speed limits,” said the company. “When multiplied across an continued on page 10

entire fleet, these cost savings could amount to tens of thousands of dollars per year or more — even for a modest-sized fleet.”

Laras believes that by exploring the causes of fuel inefficiencies and embracing the latest telematics technology and fleet management solutions, a company fleet will stay on the move now and well into the future.

FILLING THE FUEL PIGGY BANK Laras said improving route planning and tracking for the entire fleet by reducing unnecessary miles to save on fuel costs is the easiest step crane owners can take to improve long-term fuel efficiency throughout the entire fleet.

“At its most basic, GPS fleet tracking can give businesses instant visibility to allocate fleets more efficiently and enhance accountability,” he said.

Beyond this, the latest in AI-powered telematics technology also can measure everything from vehicle locations to time spent at a job and travelling time. “There’s even a tool to maximize fuel tax rebates.”

noted. While idle time is often necessary there may be an opportunity to significantly cut down on fuel usage by reducing unnecessary idling time.

PowerFleet believes the combination of telematics and intelligent routing software can help improve logistics: • Intelligent routing software optimizes routes based on driver hours of service, vehicle size constraints, equipment availability and other factors to maximize fuel economy.

• Telematics can help track detention times and enforce shipper or receiver fines. You can also identify internal materials handling teams that may be causing unnecessary detention times.

• Telematics can show the real-time locations of fleet assets to proactively alert receiving docks before a truck arrives, enable live-loads and avoid empty trailers.

“The EPA estimates that a mere 1 percent reduction in empty miles could save over 100 gallons of fuel and increase ton-miles by nearly 20,000 per year,” said PowerFleet. “At the same time, reducing idling time by 5 percent could save another 100 gallons of fuel each year, resulting in a far superior fuel economy.”

PREDICTING SAVINGS

One aspect of telematics technology worth exploring are the multitude of benefits gained from predictive maintenance.

Considered an essential tool for the crane fleet manager, with this concept an equipment manager can maintain assets successfully and efficiently. This, in turn, results in improved fuel efficiency.

“Equipment management solutions use historical data to identify and alert fleet managers of what equipment and vehicles need maintenance and when,” said Laras.

“Digitized systems fully automate maintenance routines with custom schedules and real-time access to equipment diagnostics and inspection reports.”

Ensuring key vehicle components, from tires to engine, are wellDetermining the causes of fuel inefficiencies and embracing the latest telematics fleet management maintained can have significant solutions, a company can keep its crane fleet on the move now and well into the future. benefits for fuel efficiency, Laras added.

“For example, reduced tire pressure, misaligned wheels and Telematics platforms also optimize route planning to shave bad spark plugs can increase resistance, reducing fuel efficiency off unnecessary mileage from trips.

As Laras explained it, the application will consider scheduled by up to 10 to 30 percent.”

Using automated digital tracking solutions makes predictive stops for jobs and compliance waypoints. The pre-prepared journey is then available in real-time to select on an in-vehicle maintenance an easy task for businesses and helps to avoid costly breakdowns. device.

“It also greatly reduces manual labor on paper-based process“If a vehicle deviates from a set path, the driver is notified and immediately directed back to the defined route via the safest es — increasing efficiency and savings both on and off-road,” roads,” he said. “Back-office staff are also alerted, helping man- said Laras.

This simultaneously saves fuel and protects assets while increasing a construction machine that can be proactively maintained to not only avoid breakdowns but also improve fuel economy. driver safety and compliance.”

“Regular and proactive maintenance is essential to improve Inefficient logistics operations can lead to trucks traveling empty, unnecessarily idling and using longer or congested fuel economy, satisfy federal regulations, extend vehicle lifespans, reduce the odds of emergency repairs, and increase fleet routes, said PowerFleet.

• Lubricants reduce friction and wear-and-tear on the engine, “Typical long-haul trucks could be driving 15,000 miles per year and consuming over 2,400 gallons of diesel fuel without transmission and drivetrain. Using synthetic lubricants can improve fuel economy by at least 3 percent, saving nearly 500 cargo in these instances.”

Idling consumes about 0.8 gal. of fuel per hour, the company gal. of fuel each year while reducing wear and maintenance.

Onboard dashcams equipped with telematics data and sensors can provide insight into driver metrics to identify training opportunities.

• Underinflated tires produce heat and rolling resistance, reducing fuel economy by 0.5 percent to 1 percent per 10 psi below recommendations. According to a recent survey, less than half of tires were within 5 percent of the recommended inflation pressure.

• Old components often weigh much more than newer lightweight components, reducing fuel economy. Replacing these components with aluminum, metal alloys, metal matrix composites and other lightweight components can improve your mileage.

“Tracking all these maintenance items can be a nightmare when you multiply them by an entire fleet,” said PowerFleet.

“Moreover, mileage-based maintenance may not be the best way to plan maintenance since it doesn’t necessarily correlate with actual maintenance problems.”

Instead, predictive maintenance uses telematics to track vehicle usage patterns and predict optimal maintenance times.

“For example, different drivers may have separate braking habits that influence brake pad and engine health, creating unique maintenance requirements.”

DRIVING FUEL SAVINGS The habits of crane drivers can drastically impact fuel efficiency. Laras of Teletrac Navman pointed out that driving faster than necessary, aggressive acceleration, harsh braking and idling can all burn through excessive fuel.

Reducing a truck’s average speed can reduce fuel consumption. The most common way to improve driver habits is through proper training and education, wrote PowerFleet.

Onboard dashcams equipped with telematics data and sensors can provide insight into driver metrics to identify training opportunities.

“The camera can provide real-time alerts to reduce inefficient driving habits instantly,” said Laras. “Smart dashcams also come equipped with built-in scorecard and coaching features to create long-term, fuel-efficient driving habits.”

The live dashboard displays fleet and individual driver met-

rics so that drivers have complete insight into their performance.

“They can see how they compare with colleagues to foster healthy competition and encourage improvement.”

Drivers also are alerted when there’s a significant change in metrics, he said, either positive or negative.

“The system provides tips and feedback to help them set measurable goals and improve their driving habits and fuel efficiency over time.”

Of course, positive reinforcement helps improve compliance over the long term, said PowerFleet.

Telematics solutions measure driver behavior in real-time, including speed, braking, acceleration and other habits, making it easy for managers to reward good behaviors and address any problems early on.

Jim French, a telematics specialist of Teletrac Navman, said many crane operators don’t know enough about fuel tax credit rebates and may not be claiming everything they’re entitled to.

Using GPS tracking and the second-by-second data it provides, operators can calculate for all road work.

“Telematics also makes it possible to determine times the engine was used to operate the crane, giving you the ability to claim the maximum rebate available for that equipment,” said French. “You can accurately assign fuel use to the correct part of any operation, reducing overall fuel costs in your business.”

The goal of telematics is to make life easier for crane owners by reducing the total cost of ownership and not inundating them with meaningless data, said Busconi of Terex.

“It is about useful information that can help customers establish how they can increase productivity and mitigate downtime.”

The bottom line is, soaring fuel costs require more than “a band-aid approach.” Laras suggested identifying and tackling the root causes of fuel inefficiencies and adopting integrated fleet management solutions to create a solid foundation for long-term growth.

“Fuel costs may continue to rise, but with smart systems in place, you’ll give your business the best chance at a successful, fuel-efficient future.”  CQ

CLOSING FLOOD GATES Link-Belt 228 HSL Drives Piling at New Orleans Canal Expansion Link-Belt Cranes customer, and long-term contractor for flood control projects in Louisiana, B&K Construction, was awarded a $45.5 million contract for storm channel improvements to the Algiers Sub-Basin Plan.

The project is located on the east bank of the Mississippi River in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans and has an estimated completion date of fall 2025. A Link-Belt 130-ton (117.9 t) 228 HSL and 80-ton (73t) 138 HSL drive the sheeting and piling to build the revamped flood protection network for B&K Construction.

B&K Construction has to first excavate the area to be able to install 70 ft. (21.3 m) tall, sheeting with the 138 HSL. Sheeting lines both sides of the eventual canal walls before reinforcement with whalers and 18 in. (45 cm) steel and 49 ft.

(14.9 m) tubular struts.

Both cranes sit on timber mats at street level.

A 228 HSL stands up a section of concrete pile.

“I run a single line, and it’s got plenty of power. The two speeds on the winches are great. It is slow or fast and you spin that knob, and it rolls and gets up. The two stage up or down hydraulic on the winch — when you flip it over to the live drop with the break — they handle really well. The swing is smooth and really great,” said 228 HSL Operator Mike Comeaux.

Comeaux works at the far end of the channel with a Vulcan hammer and company built 100-ft. (30.4 m) tall leads that house the hammer at about a 50 ft. (15.2 m) radius. The hammer and leads were about 35,900 lbs. (16,283 kg) rigged while the crane hoisted its load at a 72.4 degree boom angle.

“Sometimes I use the fine tuning for my drums when handling sheeting with the vibratory hammer.

Sometimes we have to pick them both up when you are pulling sheet pile, and you have the vibratory on the main line with the whip line on the sheet pile. You want them to come up at the same time, so you can adjust it when you pull the levers so they both come together. One line does not outrun the other one. It’s a handy function,” he explained.

“Now that I have mastered that throttle, it’s really great. When you spin that throttle, you not only increase the flow of the hydraulics, but the speed of the engine comes up, and this big boy moves. He really moves well.”

Approximately 4,100 ft. (1,249 m) of an original 25 ft. (7.6 m) wide earthen channel will be replaced with A 138 HSL drives sheet pile in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans.

Piles are driven into four rows of four piles per section, aided by a 50 ft. (15.2 m) template for placement.

a 40 ft. (12.1 m) wide concrete lined canal. The new canal also will be 5 ft. (1.5 m) deeper, enhancing drainage by more than 200 percent.

The 228 HSL drives 66 ft. (20.1 m) long, 14 in. (35 cm) square prestressed concrete piling to establish a foundation for the new canal. The canal floor will be 3 ft. (.9 m) thick, multi-layer concrete.

Each side of the canal will be 5 ft. 9 in. (1.75 m) high and 18 in.

(45 cm) thick.

There are several benefits to this additional capacity for storm water runoff. It will provide the pump station downstream additional time for pumping water into the Intracoastal Waterway, and alleviate flooding on nearby streets during periods of heavy rain; adjacent General De Gaulle Highway is a hurricane evacuation route.

Piles are driven into four rows of four piles per section, aided by a 50 ft. (15.2 m) template for placement. The template is placed length-wise down the channel, first to support the future outer wall, then two rows of four pile spaced two and a half feet on each side of the centerline to support the floor slab. A fourth row, nearest the crane, will primarily support the nearer outside wall placed one foot off the wall.

DECADE OF DEPENDABILITY

Groupe Cayon Marks 10 Years With Grove, Receives Four Cranes

The three-axle GMK3060L-1 features the newly designed Grove carrier cab on its compact 28.4 ft.-long carrier, while offering strong lifting capacities and long reach from its 157.5 ft.seven-section MEGAFORM boom.

RENCH TRANSPORT SPECIALIST Groupe Cayon took delivery of three new 66 ton capacity Grove GMK3060L-1 all-terrain cranes in 2021 and one GMK5150L-1 in February 2022.

“The compact size, long boom and strong load charts on the GMK3060L-1 are perfect for our fleet and will help us improve our productivity,” said Julien Cayon, director of Groupe Cayon.

“When choosing a new model for our fleet, it was also important to select a mobile crane that complies with road regulations and travels well between job sites.

We were very impressed by the new carrier cab design on the GMK3060L-1, which will make travel more comfortable for the operators,” he continued.

The three-axle GMK3060L-1 features the newly designed Grove carrier cab on its compact 28.4 ft. long carrier, while offering strong lifting capacities and long reach from its 157.5 ft. seven-section MEGAFORM boom. Because its load charts start at a 0-degree boom angle, the GMK3060L-1 can be operated on many different job sites, including indoors. It can drive with up to 8.2 ton counterweight within 13.2 ton per axle, making the 66 tonner the best three-axle taxi crane on the market, the manufacturer said.

Groupe Cayon also received a new Grove GMK5150L-1 at the beginning of 2022. The five-axle GMK5150L-1 can lift up to 13 tons on the 197 ft. main boom and offers ample space for the operator in the new Grove carrier cab. The 165 ton capacity crane has a maximum counterweight of 49 tons and can travel with 11.2 tons of counterweight within a 13.2 ton per axle configuration. As a result, the GMK5150L-1 can be optimally utilized as a taxi crane and, with its compact dimensions, can access even tight job sites.

“The new Grove GMK5150L-1 is perfect for erecting tower cranes and will help us to expand our business in this respect,” Julien Cayon said.

All four new Grove cranes will be used in jobs in and around Lyon in France.

Because its load charts start at a 0-degree boom angle, the GMK3060L-1 can be operated on many different job sites. It can drive with up to 8.2 ton counterweight within 13.2 ton per axle.

A Decade of Trust Groupe Cayon has been a Grove customer for more than 10 years, which gave the company the trust and confidence to place an order for the new all-terrain cranes.

Jean-Paul Cayon, chairman of Groupe Cayon, said, “Grove has a good reputation in terms of compactness and carrier design — and the new GMK3060L-1 cranes are easier and more comfortable to use than ever before. Everything has been improved.

“Over the years, we have also had a great experience with the technological innovations, the reliability of the machines and the quality of the Grove aftersales service,” he continued.

Grove takes pride in the quality of its aftermarket support with quick and reliable service available all over France. The European parts depot also is based near Lyon, not far from Groupe Cayon’s headquarters in Chalon-sur-Saône.

Groupe Cayon was founded in 1925 and offers a wide variety of industrial transport, handling and lift services. The company employs 700 people and operates a fleet of almost 1,400 vehicles, including 25 cranes. 

PRECISE PLANNING M

ALL’s Unique Tower Crane Anchor System Used On Tennessee Site ost of the time in tower crane

construction, anchors are installed prior to pouring the building’s foundation — embedded into the foundation itself. But what if the foundation has already been poured? Can you still use a tower crane?

Yes. It just takes a little ingenuity.

This was the challenge facing ALL Crane Rental of Tennessee, a member of the ALL Family of Companies, and its sister division, ALL Tower Crane, on a recent project. The foundation had already been poured and the building crew was even one floor into construction. That’s when the need for a tower crane was identified.

The first thing the ALL team did was see if there was room on adjacent property to bring in a ballasted base tower crane. The theory being that it could then swing over the construction site to perform its work.

However, logistically, there were no options available.

After carefully reviewing the site, the ALL team determined that the building’s elevator pit was the only viable location in which to set the tower crane. However, by this point in the construction process the elevator pad had already been poured and the shaft walls were partially completed — they would eventually stand 86 ft. high.

This was a challenge because ALL’s engineers needed to account for the tower crane’s deflection, and the higher the tower would climb, the wider the sway.

A Manitowoc/Potain MDT 219 with a 130-ft. hook height and 197 ft. of jib was specified for the job, in part due to the footprint of the tower and the constraints of the elevator shaft. Next, a plan was hatched.

Sam Moyer, general manager of ALL Tower Crane and a civil engineer, proposed a unique solution using R40A reusable anchor stools. They would be anchored to the existing elevator foundation mat via post-installed epoxy anchors.

The already in-place elevator mat foundation had to be able to withstand the crane’s reactions; this was checked and confirmed by the building’s structural engineer of record.

With post-installed anchors, the tower erection team first had to drill holes, then pipe in epoxy and set 2.25-in. diameter threaded rods into each hole. After waiting for the epoxy to cure, it would be time to the add anchors, in this case, steel weldments and a base plate. Then they tighten down the nuts to lock the anchor against 18

the elevator pad.

Careful coordination was required because of the tolerance for the anchors, the size of drill required and the constraints of the site with the existing foundation and limited access to the elevator pit.

Billy Vaughn, general manager of ALL Crane Rental of Tennessee, and sales reps Forrest Dolvin and Mike Russell handled the coordination and planning that went into the execution of the installation.

The ALL team in Tennessee carefully created a template of the hole pattern at the crane base with four R40A anchor stools pinned to the bottom mast section. The template was placed in the elevator pit and used as a guide while drilling holes into the elevator pad to ensure the holes would line up when the tower crane was erected.

With a pattern spanning roughly 6 ft. square, only one-eighth of an inch of play,

and a 20-in. drilling depth, precision was critical.

When drilling was complete, the on-site team turned its attention to installing the anchors. After cleaning the holes, a specific amount of epoxy was added followed by the 2.25-in. threaded rods. After curing, the anchors were tested and approved and it was finally time to erect the tower crane.

Due to careful coordination, the tower erection team was able to set the base tower section with R40A reusable anchor stools attached, and then lock the anchor stools against the elevator pad by installing and tightening down nuts on the threaded rods. With the tower base secured, erection of the tower proceeded as usual.

The result is a working tower crane expected to be on site for eight months.

JUST THE RIGHT

FIT Grove Boosts Telecrawler Portfolio With Launch of Mid-Size GHC85

M

anitowoc has added an eighth model to its telescoping crawler crane range in the Americas. Featuring a capacity of 85 tons and the longest boom of its class, the Grove GHC85 is positioned in the middle of Grove’s range of telecrawlers.

The crane is ideal for use in utility applications, general construction work, bridge work, pile driving and as an assist crane for assembling other cranes. Frame-mounted jacks and counterweight lifting cylinders enable the crane to self-assemble, which can be controlled via a wireless remote.

It can be transported to the job site in just three loads, or four loads when its crawlers are carried separately.

Without the need for outriggers, the GHC85 can quickly move from one static pick to the next. Its ability to maintain 100 percent pick-and-carry capabilities on inclines up to 4-degrees makes it suitable for repetitive utility work, such as setting poles, moving solar panels or setting up larger cranes.

“The biggest advantage of a telecrawler is that you can work efficiently on both even and uneven terrain with solid pick-andcarry charts,” said JJ Grace, product manager of GHC cranes.

The 36-in. triple-bar grouser shoes on the tracks offer a high level of stability, in addition to reducing soil compaction, by producing ground bearing pressures as low as 13.2 psi without load, and as high as 24.9 psi with load.

The crane’s several track span settings (covering both symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations) are made possible by the hydraulically extendable and retractable cross members that enhance stability even further.

“The maximum track span is 16.7 ft., but one track could be at 100 percent and the other at 50 percent, enabling an operator to maneuver and pick in confined spaces,” Grace explained.

A Cummins B6.7L Tier III (218 hp / 164 kW) or Tier IV F (249 hp / 186 kW) engine powers the two-speed hydrostatic drive, giving the GHC85 a maximum speed of 1.43 mph in high range, while creep speeds top out at 0.55 mph in low range.

Functions and options, such as working range limitation and a

cold-weather package, also will appeal to those engaged in special civil and hydraulic engineering applications.

High, Mighty Offering elevations from -3 degrees to +80.5 degrees, the main boom length covers 36.1 ft. to 137.7 ft. Its five sections are adjusted via a four-stage cylinder. A 49.3 ft. bi-fold swingaway standard boom extension is offsettable at 0 degrees, 20 degrees and 40 degrees, providing a useful point for attachments that are ideal for the utility sector. A 10 ft. heavy-duty jib with 10 degree offset is another option, and it’s stowable on the left-hand side of the boom.

The main and auxiliary hoists’ piston motor and grooved drum facilitate two-speed spooling for smooth operation, with 591 ft. of 20 mm wire rope providing a maximum permissible single line pull of 15,876 lb. The maximum single line speed is 360 ft./min.

Although the hoists are mounted over the rear counterweight, the in-cab monitor with a 7-in. screen provides an operator a way to closely monitor hoist operation. Standard rear and right-hand cameras improve awareness for the operator. Engine bay sound insulation enables quiet communication with riggers on the job site.

The operator’s ability to view distant loads are improved in several ways, most notably through the standard 20-degree cab tilt.

Other options include a radio remote control for operation from outside the cab, as well as a third hoist that is perfectly suited for foundation applications.

Operators also will appreciate the many ergonomic benefits of the high-vis cab, such as the electric dual-axis controls, joystick control buttons for optional utility attachments, and the Graphical Rated Capacity Limiter. This system gives an audio-visual warning and control lever lockout whenever load limits are approached or exceeded, as well as providing data on boom angle, length, and radius, plus maximum permissible load, momentary load and inclinometer readings.

TRAINING FLEET Manitowoc MLC150-1 Ensures IUOE’s Operating Center Stays at Forefront of Equipment Technology Students develop skills on a Manitowoc MLC150-1 latticeboom crawler crane at the IUOE training center in Crosby, Texas.

MANITOWOC’S LONGSTANDING RELATIONSHIP with the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) is further cemented with the delivery of a new MLC150-1 lattice-boom crawler crane to the IUOE’s International Training & Education Center in Crosby, Texas.

IUOE members — whether apprentices or experienced operators — can now use the crawler as part of the Manitowoc crane family to hone and advance

20

their skills as new technologies and legislation are introduced. The new crawler replaces an MLC165-1 that was delivered shortly before the facility opened in April 2018.

The MLC150-1 joins a Manitowoc training fleet that includes a Grove GRT8100 rough-terrain crane, Potain Igo T 70 A self-erecting crane, Potain MDT 219 top-slewing tower crane, and will soon include a Grove GMK4100L-1 all-terrain crane.

Manitowoc has provided cranes to virtually every local chapter of the IUOE for 20 years to ensure the best productivity and expert knowledge are available to operators.

“We have over 100 training centers throughout the U.S. and Canada — every local chapter is rightfully proud of its own facility, and we want them to maintain that autonomy,” explained Chris Treml, IUOE Training Center director. “We’re just trying to augment what they already have so that they don’t have to make too many big-ticket purchases.”

While several local chapters utilized IUOE facilities to train their members in health and safety, until the Crosby Center was established by James T. Callahan as part of the vision of the IUOE General President, there was no single center for equipment training. Now, the vast, 265-acre site offers a far more comprehensive environment in which to progress operators of all abilities, using the most technologically advanced equipment on the market to build upon what they’ve learned from their local union programs.

“We have dedicated equipment areas so there’s plenty of room for mobile cranes to safely move around,” added Jay C. Lederer, communications director at IUOE. “The operators can learn best practice without being unduly worried about what else is going on nearby, as they might in an urban setting.”

Keeping Up With the Times The trainees at Crosby will come from the approximately 10,000 apprentices accepted into IUOE local training programs each year. Through its typical offering of 130 to 150 multi-discipline classes per year, the center can easily train 5,000 students from across North America in both operating and service technician roles. Some of these are new courses only made possible by this purpose-built facility, such as the welding programs that have removed the need for apprentices to be sent to vocational schools.

“Our students could be new apprentices, seasoned journey people who want to change from running mobile cranes into tower cranes, or even total novices who want to switch from excavation to cranes,” Treml said. “What’s crucial is that we can offer the latest and greatest machines, so that what they’re putting their fingertips on in Crosby is what they’ll be likely to use on the job site. Now, we can advertise that we have a brand-new Manitowoc MLC150-1 with the most advanced system on it.”

Staying abreast with these rapid developments in control systems and technology requires regular training for even the most knowledgeable operators. Touchscreen computers and the associated controls —

IUOE’s International Training & Education Center Director Chris Treml.

now an inescapable part of the job — can still be intimidating to some veteran operators, so the IUOE’s training programs seek to instill in them a heightened level of comfort and understanding.

Who Trains the Trainers?

Even the IUOE’s top-class instructors aren’t immune to the march of progress, however. So, with such great responsibility resting on their shoulders, Manitowoc also provides them with ongoing training to ensure they can speak from experience.

“Before we offered our first class with that new luffing crawler, I knew there’d be a Manitowoc factory tech on hand to walk our instructors through the computer systems and the different configurations, etc.,” Treml said. “They make sure that everyone fully understands the new system and is completely comfortable with it before they pass that knowledge on.”

The creation of such an advanced industry nerve center enables several forms of certification to be available from Crosby all year round. Rigger 1, Rigger 2 and Signal Person certification has begun to be offered

this year and, in addition to the NCCCO certification program, the Operating Engineer Certification Program (OECP) provides members with a valid assessment of their competence in crane operations.

“This ensures compliance with the new OSHA rule that you can’t operate a crane on a job without being third-party certified,” Treml added. “It’s another ticket in their pocket that allows them to take on work, whether it’s in a mobile hydraulic crane or tower crane.”

In today’s booming construction market, crane operators are well-positioned to enjoy lucrative, rewarding careers. As such, no additional encouragement should be necessary to attract new entrants — but Treml is keen to emphasize the positives, nonetheless.

“When I was training director of my home local, kids would come in for interviews and ask, ‘What am I going to get out of it?’ Well, I’d been sitting in their seat over 20 years earlier waiting for my interview, so I know that you get out of it exactly what you put into it,” he said. “You can make a continued on page 22

great career out of this. Construction is never going away.

Whether you want to be in the seat of a machine for your career, or move on to training where you can give something back, there’s so much opportunity for growth.”

As for the longstanding relationship between the two organizations, which on a personal level began in 2002 for John Kennedy, Manitowoc vice president crawler sales, and 2014 for IUOE’s Chris Treml, that remains highly prized

on both sides. For the union man, the responsiveness of his OEM colleague has been a key asset in its success.

“I’m free to call John anytime I have a concern and he always addresses it,” Treml concluded. “Before we opened up in Crosby, he always made sure that we were taken care of at the local level. And now, whenever there’s been a query or an issue, he’s always made sure everything is addressed. It’s been a very successful partnership.”

Tri-County Construction’s new Grove GRT8120 and GRT9165 rough-terrain cranes surround one of Aspen Equipment’s service trucks.

VERSATILE MACHINE

Delivery of Grove Rough-Terrain Cranes Kickstart Tri-County Construction Two Grove rough-terrain cranes supplied

by Aspen Equipment are helping an Iowa construction firm fulfill its prestigious yet demanding maintenance contract with an agricultural client.

Eddyville, Iowa-based Tri-County Construction (Tri-County) ordered a 120 ton capacity Grove GRT8120 and 165 ton capacity Grove GRT9165. The company took delivery of both cranes on New Year’s Eve, with technicians from Aspen Equipment arriving the following week to ensure they were operating optimally.

Although the attention to detail he’d witnessed during the build process had impressed Tri-County’s Crane Operation Supervisor Rod Ashman, he wasn’t particularly surprised Grove went to such great lengths, having operated many Grove cranes since the age of 19, when he started out on a Grove RT740.

“Their reliability was expected, but from an operator’s point of view, the new GRTs are probably the most versatile cranes we’ve ever operated,” Ashman said.

“Aside from capital jobs, these cranes are generally being used on maintenance tasks, such as changing out gearboxes, conveyors and roof fans. Sometimes we’ll require every pound of capacity and inch of available boom, and then the very next job might just be hoisting a 2,000 lbs motor onto a 30-feet-high balcony at a 20 ft. radius. We can go from main boom picks of 50,000 lbs. to erecting the jib and fly for a tip height of 275 ft. in a manner of minutes. The GRTs just take it all in stride.”

Ashman singles out the ease of use of

the hydraulically offsettable jibs (from 0 to 50 degrees on the GRT9165 and 0 to 45 degrees on the GRT8120) as being a key advantage.

“This allows us to set up in a congested or confined area and have the option to offset the jib from inside the cab to get up and over, or get us additional radius. Also, the longer boom lengths will help us reach the top strobe lights on three exhaust stacks.”

Class-Leading Specs As the strongest model in the range, the three-axle GRT9165 was acquired to enable the hoisting of heavier loads at a greater radius — a key consideration when the Tri-County operators expect to be called upon to lift a loaded rail car that could weigh up to 125,000 lbs. The crane boasts the best load charts in its class from its six-section MEGAFORM boom, maximizing capacities by reducing weight inside the extended configuration due to its TWIN-LOCK boom-pinning system. The manual or hydraulic bi-fold lattice swingaway extension adds another 36.7 to 58.4

ft. of reach.

The seven-section MEGAFORM boom of the GRT8120 also offers class-leading charts, with an additional pinning location at 90 percent that helps to increase capacities and enhance flexibility in lift planning, in conjunction with the Boom Configurator system that simplifies telescoping operations.

“This is the sort of reliable performance we depend on to ensure we fulfill our contract with our large agricultural client and continue our good working relationship with them,” Ashman concluded.

“It all comes down to keeping our cranes maintained and in top working condition. Aside from the bigger reach and capacities, the key advantage of the Grove bid over the other companies we’d considered was the five-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, plus the very attractive offer from Aspen to do all of our maintenance. I have to say it’s the start of a very good relationship for Tri-County.”

A water aqueduct is being built in southern California. Concrete pipe sections are cast upright. When one is ready for placement, a gantry crane lays it on its side, and the truck (in the foreground) backs through it. Hydraulic jacks raise the pipe, and off it goes to the trench. On arrival, the truck backs into the pipe already in place until the section it's carrying is butted against it. The jacks lower the pipe, and the truck pulls out and heads back for another.
