ASSIMILATING SIM

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Advancements in crane operator training simulators run neck and neck with the industry’s adoption of simulator technology. The steps forward in system sophistication were incremental during the span since the technology was introduced to the crane sector in the 1990s. But almost overnight simulator providers are bringing better, more realistic graphics and multitudes of possible lifting and rigging scenarios to an industry eager for fast, easy learning.

Today, simulators give instructors the ability to train people in a standard, consistent environment, and train more often.

Historically, the industry depended on having a roped-off area, a dedicated machine, and typically a class of eight students — one in the cab, one signaling, and the rest

waiting for their turn, said Drew Carruthers of CM Labs, Montreal, Canada. With simulators, “students get much more seat time on a crane. So, they’re meeting operator qualifications with more experience and preparedness under their belts,” he said.

The core advantage to simulated training is the ability to interact immediately, said Ted Blanton Jr. of North American Crane Bureau (NACB), Lake Mary, Fla. “You’re able to see immediate results and get corrective measures in real-life situations. A simulator allows you to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom, with an instructor in control, so that the training experience is better absorbed.”

Another advantage of today’s simulator technology is the ability to test-drive a machine when you’re considering a career as a crane operator. Simulators have made the process more interactive without all the liability of an inexperienced operator sitting

in a real machine. The intimidation factor can be big when you consider the shear size of a crane, said Blanton. A simulator can bridge the gap between intimidation and the field of work.

“A simulator eases the person into operation as it reduces that intimidation, and you can build upon the positive aspects.

Simulation is a good way to bridge that gap to youth and get them interested in crane operations as a career,” he said.

Impressive Advancements When it was introduced to the crane industry 20 years ago, simulator technology offered mechanical motion and contact dynamics simulation and visualization in a cab-like setting. Today’s virtual reality (VR) simulators involve a desktop and headset to utilize training software. Augmented reality (AR) systems combine camera technology and visualization, allowing an oper-

“Since 2016, the simulator industry has witnessed an incredible advancement in training technology,” said Zack Parnell of Industrial Training International. Today, dozens of headsets are available, and the competition is advancing the technology is a significant way.

CRANE TRAINING

Simulators offer students more seat time on a crane. As a result, they achieve crane operator qualifications with more experience and preparedness under their belts, believes Drew Carruthers of simulator provider CM Labs.

ator to see the environment around him and react to it. In newer-technology CAVE immersible environments, projectors are directed to between three and six of the walls of a room-sized cube.

Simulator hardware, software, graphics and system capabilities have all advanced over the years. Costs have come down while graphics have gotten more sophisticated and system capabilities have ramped up to reach a broader audience with, some say, the most realistic training experience

possible.

Since the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets were launched in the spring of 2016, for example, the simulator industry has witnessed an incredible advancement in training technology, said Zack Parnell, CEO of Industrial Training International, Woodland, Wash.

“Today, there are dozens of headsets available, and the competition is advancing the technology is a significant way,” he said.

When CM Labs entered the simulator field seven years ago, the focus was on safety, said Carruthers. The cost of a simulator was, and still is, miniscule compared to the cost of a crane accident. Today, the company’s Vortex simulator technology is geared more toward efficiency as well as the opportunity for higher learning. For instance, CM Labs is using simulators to recreate a crane accident situation so users can see how the accident happened and continued on next page

correct any missteps or mistakes for the future.

“We’ve been called in three or four times to update a client’s simulator so when an accident happens, the client can determine what procedures will be expected of employees going forward,” he said. “We now depict wind conditions on a simulator, to help people learn [the effects of wind on a crane].”

CM Labs also works with crane manufacturers so when a new crane model is in production operators can experience that machine’s operation before they ever see the crane.

At NACB, the simulator training program has “gone from a lot of graphics, and limited viewing angles to a virtual environment,” said Blanton. “We can provide the operator a 360-degree field of view, giving actually an in-environment feel rather than sitting at a desk looking at a giant computer screen.”

Seeing Into the Future When ITI integrated simulators into its industrial and construction training programs, the company started with two crane models and about 200 scenarios. Today, simulation for eight models and more than 1,200 scenarios are available. ITI’s content library aids clients in pre-hire screening; long-form training during apprenticeship; new-equipment familiarization; and practical assessments.

“I wouldn’t contend that these are new uses, however,” said Parnell. “VR has enabled these uses at a much higher level of fidelity and confidence than ever before.”

ITI is currently undertaking a study that has already shown that if an operator passes an accredited crane operator certification practical exam in the company’s VR crane simulator, that person is 95 percent likely to pass the exam on the real crane.

“We are getting very close to a statistically-proven level of performance that employers and the industry will be able to rely on,” said Parnell.

ITI will add three crane models to its simulation library over the next 12 months, including a Liebherr LR1300, which will be integrated this winter. The company is also piloting a VR-based exam pioneered with ExxonMobil on crane and lifting lifesaving actions.

Using the Oculus Go VR headset, the exam is intended for any individual working at a refinery, “to ensure that they complete a practical assessment of the lifesaving actions around crane and lifting activities,” said Parnell.

The exam can be completed in 30 minutes and 30 people can be processed at a time.

“This is a good example of a practical exam, that wasn’t costeffective nor safe to conduct in the real world, that is an ideal conclusion to an existing course,” he said.

Carruthers believes the future of simulator technology is not the shape it takes, but the data and intelligence behind it. Whether the training features hi-def immersive simulators, VR, AR, CAVE, or some other technology, “the real differentiation is going to consist of training that adapts intelligently to the learner’s abilities and the training organization’s priorities,” he said.

“As semi-automated and automated processes become more prevalent in the construction sector, expect to see solutions that focus on enabling the transition from equipment operation to systems monitoring,” said Carruthers. “We have already developed solutions that allow organizations to train their staff on remote operation of ship-to-shore cranes in the ports sector, for example.”

Simulator training technology in the construction crane sector will remain a viable alternative to traditional classroom instructorled methods because 24-hour access to three or four systems in a 12

training room as opposed to “beating up equipment,” makes sense, said Blanton.

“Will technology change? Yes — It’s always based upon what’s out there in the industry. We may go more toward process-based systems, where a specific set of procedures provided by a client is practiced over and over before the user goes out into the real world.”

He likes the idea that the user can capture real-world environments so it seems like he’s operating a tower crane, for instance, before ground is actually broken on the job site.

“Students could be practicing before the building starts to be built,” he said. “You could train to a specific project. I believe we’ll see these uses more and more as we see simulation become more visible in the industry.”

The reality of autonomous vehicles is opening the doors to new uses for simulator training. Simulator providers say remote crane operations may be the next training front. As an example, Blanton talks about a logging company putting an operator in the truck’s passenger seat with a VR hood. He’s operating the crane loading logs on the back of the truck. He finishes loading, takes that hood off, gets back into the driver’s seat, and goes on down the road.

“It’s just a matter of time,” said Blanton.

“Liebherr tower cranes are already being operated by VR. They’ve got a guy sitting in a box. He turns one crane on, makes a lift and goes on. It’s a matter of time before it all bubbles over.

Simulator training will roll right into it, because users will learn to operate cranes remotely. A lot of mobile cranes are controlled via radio remote instead of operation in a cab now anyway. Cranes becoming more technologically advanced, and integration of simulator technology with remote crane operators will fold right into it.”

Carruthers echoed that perspective. “I feel our industry is going from operators slowly toward system monitors. Equipment is more complex and simulators are allowing people to experience that complexity sooner. We’ve [engineered in simulation] the operation of cranes that didn’t exist yet and allowed users to have a good experience on it.”

There Are Limitations If operating a real crane is intimidating to a novice, are simulators intimidating to old-school crane users? Despite sophisticated futuristic technology, the technology does have a place in the crane industry. Instructors at ITI have found that VR simulation is ideal for experiential learning, practice time and assessment.

Simulators also have their limits. Parnell said even though robust, VR hand controls take a little getting used to. And, “there are some job tasks that require physical touch, like hand-over-hand inspection of wire rope. We could still teach this concept in VR but couldn’t deliver the sensation of staging your glove on a broken wire until haptic [touch technology] gloves get a bit further along.”

Ray Feidt, corporate inspection/training manager, Stephenson Equipment Inc., Harrisburg, Pa., said though some simulators hit the mark for training “none are a real crane.”

He believes simulators are best suited to training large numbers of operators. Big companies with many crane operators on staff over several states can utilize simulators to provide an opportunity for prospective operators to gain some exposure to cranes before real seat time, “but even then, any operator is going to have to get real time in the seat of a real crane to really learn to control a crane,” he said. CG

GROVE’S GRT655: A PERFECT CHOICE FOR

Philadelphia’s RIVERWALK PROJECT

B. Pietrini and Sons, based in King of Prussia, Pa., added a Grove GRT655 to its fleet to complete the Riverwalk Project in Philadelphia. The rough terrain crane, which is helping construct the first few levels of a 28-story and a 32-story residential building, will be on site through the completion of the first four floors of the two buildings.

Fran Pietrini, CEO of B. Pietrini and Sons, said that the compact footprint of the crane, along with its maneuverability, would enable the company to deploy the GRT655 on this and other job sites in the future. He explained that the GRT655’s compact size was a big selling point compared to other cranes in the class.

Even with the outriggers fully extended the compact footprint ensures that the crane can operate on narrow sites, like the Riverwalk Project.

IT SOUNDED ROUTINE …

THEN IT WASN’T

On behalf of Enercon,

Belgian crane service provider Aertssen removed the 79 ton (72 t), 190 ft. (58 m) long rotor blades from an Enercon E-126 wind turbine at a height of approximately 446 ft. (136 m) for maintenance. However, what may sound like a routine job was actually a tricky challenge, and it was only the team’s extensive experience and two Demag CC 3800 lattice boom crawler cranes that enabled them to successfully carry out the corresponding lifts.

“Before anything else, we had to decide which crane to use for the job,” said Aertssen Project Manager Peter Bertels.

There were two options available: either a large crane that would be able to take care of the lifts by itself or two, more

compact, cranes that would tackle the lift in tandem. Ultimately, the team decided on using its two CC 3800 cranes, as they were more cost-effective, would be powerful enough when used together, and had the required reliability and precision characteristics for the lifts. However, it was first necessary to make sure that the ground bearing capacities at the work site in Estinnes would be sufficient for the two crawler cranes, as they had originally been calculated back when the wind turbine had first been erected, for the use of a single crane only. Once the green light was given though, nothing else stood in the way of using the two CC 3800 units.

Set Up and Ready to Lift in Seven Days A total of 52 truck runs across a distance of approximately 80 miles were needed in order to get the two cranes from the Aertssen branch in Stabroek to the work site. Once there, a five-person Aertssen team set up the cranes within a week.

The team started by setting up the first crane, which was placed a bit farther away from the wind turbine, on the corresponding access road, and then proceeded to set up the second one, which was closer to the tower. For the configuration, the team decided on the main boom variant with a 462 ft. (141 m) LSL and 39 ft. (12 m) LF4 arrangement with an offset of 20 degrees.

The Superlift mast had a length of 118 ft. (36 m), and the crane was set up with 182 tons (165 t) of counterweight and 55 tons (50 t) of Superlift counterweight.

Once all these steps were com-

The blade had to be kept in a perfectly horizontal position at all times in order to prevent it from sliding off the slings, which is why digital spirit levels with wireless transmission capabilities were installed on the blades in advance to let the operators know, at all times, that the blades were level.

pleted, the two cranes and the Aertssen team were ready for the technically ambitious lifts: The rotor blades not only had to be taken from a height of 446 ft. and safely lowered to the ground, but they also had to remain perfectly balanced while being lowered. To achieve this, the operator of the CC 3800 that was closer to the tower first guided a sling, which was hanging from a spreader beam with four-part reeving, around the tip of the rotor blade. The operator of the other crane then repeated this exact same procedure. When “lassoing” the rotor blades with the slings, the two crane operators depended on the instructions of Enercon employees who were also on site for the job.

“The reason is that even though we’d installed cameras on the spreader beams, our crane operators were operating remotely, and were therefore unable to determine whether the slings were at the right height. It was kind of like lassoing a tiny animal,” Peter Bertels said.

Avoiding “Things Going Awry” at All Costs Once the two slings had “lassoed” the rotor blade, the cranes swung them to the intended rigging points, at which point it was time for the tricky part of the job: First off, the cranes needed to rotate parallel to each other in order to get the rotor blade out of the rotor. Once this happened, crane one had a gross load of 50 tons (46 t) on its hook, while crane two had a load of 39 tons (36 t). After this, the operators were able to set down the blade at a radius of approximately 72 ft. (22 m).

However, the blade had to be kept in a perfectly horizontal position at all times in order to prevent it from continued on page 23

The rotor blades not only had to be taken from a height of 446 ft. and safely lowered to the ground, but they also had to remain perfectly balanced while being lowered.

SHIP HAPPENS WITH OFFSET SHEAVES

“The 298 has definitely increased our lifting capacity, it’s about double the capacity we had from its predecessor,” said Statia.

Ice Flow LLC dba Nichols Brothers Boat Builders (NBBB) of Freeland, Wash.’s new 250-ton (227-t) 298 Series 2 lattice crawler was put to the test quickly following its delivery to Whidbey Island in Puget Sound from Triad Machinery.

NBBB is a custom vessel construction company established in 1964. The first major project on the books for its Link-Belt 298 Series 2 was lifting a 125,000 lb. (56,700 kg) pilot house for a new 100 ft. (30.4 m) by 40 ft. (12.1 m) hybrid tractor tug scheduled for early 2019 delivery to Baydelta Marine of San Francisco, Calif. The pilot house was lifted 47 ft. (14.3 m) in the air and placed on the main module or hull of the tug.

For Operator Supervisor Kyle Statia and the team at NBBB, ontime delivery of a 100 ft. (30.4 m) long tug requires maneuvering in a tight shipyard environment and safely providing all necessary components for construction. Portable containments which measure up to 85 ft. (25.9 m) long by 50 ft. (15.2 m) wide are constantly moved around during all phases of the construction process.

18

“We are a really tight facility and maneuverability for the 298 is great,” said Kyle Statia, Nichols Bros. operator supervisor.

“We replaced a 1970’s era lattice crawler crane with this 298 and really like it for a lot of reasons but maybe most importantly is the offset main lifting sheaves,” said Kyle Statia, Nichols Bros. operator supervisor. “We really like the updated boom pendants on the 298, which allow for quick stowage and assembly, plus we don’t need to lube boom pendants anymore. The ability to meter individual hydraulic controls is also very handy, like adjusting winch speed while booming down and holding the load.”

For NBBB the offset main lifting head feature replaces a jib for movement of the portable containments and other components.

“The tractor tug is one of seven projects we have ongoing and having the offset sheaves gives us that extra 3 to 4 feet of clearance from the boom when doing tight lifts. This keeps everyone busy and keeps the 298 moving around our yard feeding everyone with materials,” said Statia.

“We are a really tight facility and maneuverability for the 298 is great. The LMI [load moment indicator] for setting limits is very

easy to use. Because this is such a tight space the cameras and the great visibility for the operator gives everyone eyes on everything at all times. Another thing is the noise element, we’re positioned in a residential area for the most part — on either side of our property are homes — this crane is much quieter compared to the loud diesel engine we had previously,” said Statia.

Delivery of the tractor tugboat was scheduled for first quarter 2019.

“This is a start-to-finish construction agreement for us. The 298 has definitely increased our lifting capacity, it’s about double the capacity we had from its predecessor, 10 percent over our other large crane, and 70 percent more joint lifting capacity,” said Statia.

GROVE

Swiss transport, heavy lift and warehouse logistics company Emil Egger AG has purchased three new Grove mobile cranes for its new facility in Bassersdorf, near Zurich.

The three cranes were supplied by Stirnimann AG and comprise one GMK6300L-1, one GMK5250L and one GMK5150L. “When choosing the new mobile cranes, the most important factors for us were long telescopic booms, high load capacities and a strong drivetrain,” said Michael Egger, managing director of Emil Egger AG. “From our point of view, the new GMK6300L-1 is the best in its class and the GMK5250L and GMK5150L are also very powerful and compact cranes.

With the new models, we can do most jobs in two to four hours. 

DEMAG

Everyone at Hallbergmoos, Germany-based Tecra-Autokran GmbH is extremely happy with the quality and performance of the company’s new Demag AC 100-4L all-terrain crane. So much so, that the company has ordered its second Demag crane of this model. Even before then, however, Tecra already had only good things to say about the Demag brand.

“Our AC 40 City is simply great as well, and it keeps showing time and time again that it’s an absolute workhorse,” said Wolfgang Klenner, general manager of Tecra, who finds the compact design behind the Demag AC 100-4L to be as compelling as its IC-1 Plus control system. 

TEREX

Canada’s Cropac Equipment continues to see a growing demand for tower cranes throughout its territory and recently invested in several new Terex tower cranes. The order includes: • Terex SK 415-20 hammerhead tower cranes • Terex CTT 132-6, CTT 332-16 and CTT 472-20 flat top tower crane models • Terex CTL 260-18 luffing jib tower cranes Cropac said the company added a significant amount of tower cranes to its inventory in the last 12 months, and expects to add many more in the future.

“Our latest order of Terex tower cranes helps ensure that we always have the right crane for our customers when they need it,” said James Graham, business development manager. “We do everything we can to be the best partner to their businesses.” 

RECENT PURCHASES, DELIVERIES

British crane rental company Coussens Crane Hire, based in Bexhill-on-Sea in East Sussex, has added two new Demag allterrain cranes to its fleet: a Demag AC 60-3 with a 164-ft. main boom, and a Demag AC 100-4L with a 195-ft. main boom that can have its reach extended with a 62 ft. swing-away jib. Both cranes feature the m IC1-Plus control system, which utilizes the maximum available lifting capacities when working with asymmetrical outrigger configurations in tight space conditions, as well as a remote control.

“The remote control is particularly useful when it comes to lifts without an unobstructed view,” said Paul Coussens, managing director. 

LINK-BELT

Entrec Crane and Heavy Hauling Inc.’s purchase of multiple LinkBelt HTC-86100s and a TCC-1100 comes in large part due to the growing demand of the recovery process in the Permian Basin region in west Texas and New Mexico. A common application for the 100-ton hydraulic truck is “wirelining,” a process that refers to the cabling used in the industry to lower equipment or measure devices already drilled in a drilled hole shaft. The HTC-86100 lifts a suspended drum of cable, which is composed of 20,000 ft. of 9/32 in. steel wire.

“To assemble components together over the wellhead to wireline it, I have to have it exactly on a perfect radius. I use the whip line for that, to get components to the exact same location,” said operator Tyler Doll, Entrec Crane and Heavy Hauling Inc. 

MANITOWOC

Manitowoc’s manufacturing facility in Charlieu, France, has shipped its 1,000th Igo T 85. The landmark self-erecting crane has been sold to a customer in Benelux.

The Igo T 85 was launched in 2008 and has become well known in Asia and the United States. In 2011, an upgraded model — the Igo T 85 A — was developed to include a third additional mast section and new slewing system, reaching 124.6 ft. height under hook.

With its 147.6 ft. jib radius, 124.6 ft. height under hook and maximum capacity of 6.6 tons, the Igo T 85 A provides the easy logistics of a self-erecting crane and the high capacities of small hammerhead top-slewing cranes, making it ideal for residential construction job sites, according to the manufacturer. 

sliding off the slings, which is why digital spirit levels with wireless transmission capabilities were installed on the blades in advance to let the operators know, at all times, that the blades were level.

Needless to say, the Enercon employees kept an extremely close watch on this part of the job, as it was highly critical to its success. And as a result, they were tremendously impressed with the precision that both crane operators demonstrated while operating their CC 3800 cranes. In fact, it was only necessary to make two brief corrections throughout all three lifts, which totaled a distance of about 400 meters.

Completing the lifts involved a relatively easier challenge: Crane one was able to finish each lift in its original position, but crane two had to move back under load in order to set each rotor blade down on the support that had already been put in place for it.

“This enabled us to complete all the lifts safely. And if the weather had decided to play nice, we would have been able to stay within the original schedule without a problem, but for two whole weeks, the wind was way too strong for us to safely carry out the lifts, so our stay at the work site went from four weeks to six,” said Peter Bertels, who was still extremely happy with how the project turned out.

“We obviously had no way to change the weather, but deciding on the two CC 3800 cranes was absolutely the right choice — in fact, both their precision and their extremely responsive controls were what enabled us to literally have a handle on the situation at all times. In addition, the Enercon team supported us throughout the whole project. It was also thanks to this collaboration that the project was finalized successfully.”

One week later after the required maintenance was complete, the rotor blades were reinstalled on the wind turbine.
