SAFELY

OSHA, NCCCO Foundation and CCO have formed an alliance to promote safety initiatives for those who work around construction cranes.

OSHA, CCO, NCCCO Foundation Partner to Reduce Risks for Workers By Lucy Perry

OSHA proposed a fine of nearly $263,000, saying the employer disregarded the safety of its crew, “willfully ignoring required safety standards.” “And one worker suffered the deadly consequences of the company’s failures,” said Timothy Minor, OSHA area director. In Arizona, a crane crew member suffered electrocution during the installation of an air conditioner. A state workplace safety inspection determined the employer violated multiple safety regulations in the accident. Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) said following safety and electrical precautions could have prevented the death. The inspection found the crane’s cable was too close to electrical lines without shutting off power, according to television station abc15 in Tucson. “There was no documentation the 26-ton crane had been inspected annually as required,” said Anne Ryman, reporter. “In addition, the sling used to lift the 681-pound air conditioning unit was frayed and should not have been used,” the inspection said. The crane company was fined more than $32,000, and one citation was classified as “willful serious.”

crane operator who said the fast pace comes with a list of ignored safety concerns. “I recently had to walk off a job because it was so unsafe,” one operator said. Operators said they’ve been asked to operate in high wind conditions, carry excessively heavy loads, work 80-hour weeks, and rely on inexperienced riggers. One crane operator recalled a project where none of the riggers spoke clear English, adding that that itself is a major safety concern.

Policy of Doing It Right Fortunately, the incident-free construction jobs outweigh the sites that log accidents and incidents. The contractors who believe in best practices do it right. Alamo Crane Service Inc. (ACS), selected to receive a subcontractors association safety award, is one of those contractors. American Subcontractors Association (ASA) awarded Alamo a 2022 National Safety Award last spring. The annual program recognizes member companies instrumental in making safety and safety education a priority in their companies. These companies go “above and beyond to ensure their employees and everyone on the job site go home to their families after every workday,” said ASA.

These companies go “above and beyond to ensure … everyone on the job site goes home to their families after every workday.”

The goal of the alliance formed last fall among OSHA, the NCCCO Foundation and CCO is to promote workplace safety and health and awareness of workers’ rights and employers’ responsibilities under OSHA.

This designation is the most serious worker-safety violation, levied only where the inspector says employers knowingly failed to follow safety regulations. Last summer, the crane and operator were hired to lift and set the air-conditioning unit into place. The crane operator lowered the unit with the cable coming within 2 ft. of electrical lines, according to the ADOSH report. The operator ordered the unit to be pushed where it was supposed to go on the roof. The cable hit the power lines, electrocuting the 23-year-old worker. “The crane operator told us right up front that he knew he wasn’t supposed to be that close to the line,” said Mark Norton, ADOSH director. The state then fined the crane company an additional $25,000 for the willful citation resulting in a worker death. The money goes to the worker’s family. Crane operators in Atlanta say the fast pace of construction is raising risk levels when safety concerns on the job are ignored. Ashli Lincoln with wsbtv.com in Atlanta reported that operators attribute the situation to pressure to build quickly and move on. “When we get a job, we hit the ball running,” according to one 8

Only nine companies from across the country were selected to receive the national safety award. Of those, Alamo Crane Service was the only crane company to receive this award. “This is a big deal,” said Marvin Ohlenbusch, Alamo Crane COO. “To be recognized nationally for this award says a lot.” He said a safety culture focused on risk management, engaged by every team member, ensures the company is doing its best to keep employees and customers safe. In 2017, the company was awarded Texas Mutual’s Platinum Safety Award. The company was recognized for its outstanding safety record. OSHA has long tried to make construction work sites safer, through policies that include certification, education and inspection. After a crane-related death on the island of Guam in late 2022, OSHA released a statement urging employers to enhance safety measures. Falls, tip-overs, struck-bys, electrocutions, being caught between a crane and other structures and unqualified operators as the most common hazards. After the Guam job site death, OSHA recommended the following safety measures where crane operations take place:

OSHA believes injuries and fatalities related to crane operations are preventable with training and proper attention to safety controls.

• Use your experience, knowledge and training to assess risks and follow crane procedures. • Do not operate a crane or hoist that is damaged or has any actual or suspected mechanical or electrical malfunction. • Do not attempt to lengthen wire rope or repair damaged wire rope. • Do not use the wire rope, any part of the crane, hoist, or the load block and hook as a ground for welding. • Do not allow a welding electrode to touch the wire rope. • Do not remove or obscure any warning labels on the crane or hoist. • Do not walk under a suspended load or allow anyone to walk under a suspended load. • Do not perform or allow anyone to perform any work on a suspended load that requires a worker to be positioned under the suspended load • Always use personal protective equipment, such as gloves, hard hats, hearing, foot and eye protection. “Injuries and fatalities related to crane operations are preventable with training and proper attention to safety controls,” said Roger Forstner, OSHA area director. “Employers need to take all necessary steps to reduce incidents involving crane operations and improve the workplace safety where cranes are in use.” Over the years, the agency and the construction industry have seen the benefits of partnering to reduce risk on construction job sites. In announcing the alliance with CCO and NCCO, Scott Ketcham, OSHA director, thanked the organizations for working to reach this significant milestone. He also appreciated their efforts build upon the agency-industry relationship that was built over the past two decades.

The principal goal of the alliance is to provide employers and workers tools and guidance to help eliminate and/or prevent workplace health and safety hazards. According to OSHA, under this agreement, the three will team up on numerous initiatives to improve safety in the load handling industry, including: • Sharing industry alerts, • Encouraging industry participation in and support of OSHA events and programs, • Convening roundtable discussions and stakeholder meetings on crane industry safety, • Providing opportunities for OSHA to speak and participate in industry meetings and events, • Raising awareness of resources and tools that will assist operators in complying with OSHA regulations, • Sharing information on updates to OSHA load handling regulations and enforcement such as certification and evaluation requirements, • Developing surveys for candidate base segments and sharing survey results, and • Encouraging key CCO test sites to build relationships with OSHA’s regional and area offices to promote safety and awareness. The trio also will coordinate opportunities for training of OSHA staff focused on operator qualification and certification standards. The training also will cover jobsite responsibilities and equipment demonstrations or innovations. The member organizations will encourage worker participation in workplace safety and health by engaging with industry experts. The goal is to ensure resources and training materials/programs developed and offered are available to meet the needs of stakeholders  CQ (All photos Adobe Stock.)

ALL’s “ H Crane ulk” Helps Bring Down Bridge

ALL’s cranes worked alongside other machines owned by its customer, The Ruhlin Company. In some cases, the removal of beams required as many as three cranes to be rigged up to various sections, including the 1300. 10

So does ALL Erection & Crane Rental’s “Hulk,” the nickname for its brand new Liebherr LTM 1300-6.3. (The machine’s eye-catching green paint job earned it the moniker.) It was late last summer when the Hulk was sent on its first mission, along with a sister crane, to the Southgate Parkway Bridge project in Cambridge, Ohio. The job included tearing down an existing bridge and came with the challenge of being located 400 ft. south of the U.S. 40/22 intersection in downtown Cambridge on SR 209, while also spanning Willis Creek and the Genesee & Wyoming Railroad. “This is a high-profile job requiring thoughtful logistics,” said Rich Randall, general manager of ALL Crane Rental Corp., ALL’s Columbus branch. “Within the space we had to work, and the proximity to the railroad, we were fortunate to have the new Liebherr LTM 1300 in our fleet at just the right time.” Working close to railroad tracks limited the load chart of any crane coming near the tracks, dictating a machine with a long, strong boom rated for higher weight. The 1300’s 295-ft. of boom and 360-ton capacity fit the bill. The Liebherr LTM 1300-6.3 is a highly versatile crane suitable for many kinds of job sites. With four jib options, when outfitted with full boom and full jib for “up and out” work, it has reach but also an excellent chart for close-up lifting. The three-axle dolly for its boom also comes in handy. Often in this weight class of cranes, the boom has to be removed, but the 1300 enables crews to pull up to the job site, start stacking counterweights, and get right to work, the company said. In Cambridge, the Hulk was set up on one end of the bridge near the abutment, where it was used to remove spans and beams from the old bridge. It was on-site for four days. Meanwhile, on the other end of the bridge, a Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1, also provided by ALL, was set up on the ground below, performing similar functions. ALL’s cranes worked alongside other machines owned by its customer, The Ruhlin Company. In some cases, the removal of beams required as many as three cranes to be rigged up to various sections, including the 1300. The cranes each held various bridge components in place so workers could unbolt beams, and then the 1300 would hold, lift and remove the freed section.

nickname

Randall credits sales representative Bill Hanners for working closely with The Ruhlin Company to provide the machines they needed. “While it’s common for us to provide every crane at a job site, we’re equally adept at strategically complementing the package our customer is bringing to the site,” said Randall. “ALL is able to invest in a broader range of capacities and crane types than most customers, enabling us to serve specific niches. A job site like this one, which brought many special challenges, is another realm in which we thrive.” ALL returns to the job site in February 2024 to begin building the replacement bridge. For that phase, it will provide a 600-ton capacity Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1 and a 770-ton capacity Liebherr LTM 1650-8.1. Interestingly, the 1650 is another relatively new crane with a unique paint job and colorful nickname. It’s cobalt blue and called “the Blue Beast.”  (All photos courtesy of ALL Crane.)

NEW ADDITION With the launch of the LTR 1150, Liebherr is responding to the requirements of crane operators faced with lifting jobs that are beyond the LTR 1100, but for which the LTR 1220 is overkill. In terms of lifting capacity, the new 165 ton crane falls exactly between these two models.

Compact, Strong, Transport in One The real highlight of the new LTR 1150 is its economical transport concept: no other telescopic crawler crane on the market in this load class can be transported on low-loaders complete with crawler carriers with a width of just 11.5 ft., according to the manufacturer. The LTR 1150 not only makes this possible but also has a total weight of just 66 tons. For this reason, Liebherr has coined the slogan “Compact and strong, transport in one” for the new crane.

Optionally, the new telescopic crawler crane can be transported with a width of 9.8 ft. — the crawler carriers are removed to allow this, which reduces the crane’s transport weight to only 42 tons. This variant requires a jack-up erection support consisting of four swivelling cylinders, which support the crane on the ground while the tracks are removed and the low-loader positions itself under the crane. This principle has proven its worth with the 110 ton LTR 1100. New on the LTR 1150, an automatic support system assists the operator. This was developed to allows faster and easier (dis)assembly of the crawler carriers. The two crawler carriers, each weighing 12 tons, can be transported together on a standard semitrailer with an economical width of 8.3 ft. The integrated access steps are folded in during transport. In terms of ballast distribution, a strong emphasis also was placed on ensuring economical transport worldwide. With only four lifts, the entire counterweight can be ballasted on the crane: two lifts for the two 12 ton central ballasts and two for the maximum slewing platform ballast of 45 tons. As with the Liebherr LTM cranes, this is attached to the slewing platform using a

hydraulic ballasting device. Liebherr-AutoBallast supports the crane driver during this process. The support for the slewing platform ballast is integrated in the central ballast.

A First for Telescopic Crawler Cranes: VarioBase The VarioBase variable supporting base not only provides greater safety for telescopic mobile cranes, but also allows significantly higher load capacities, especially for lifts directly over the supports, according to the manufacturer. The LTR 1150 is the first telescopic crawler crane to be equipped with this system, which determines the optimum load capacity in real time depending on the fixed track width and the variable rotation angle. The greatest advantages in terms of load capacity are achieved when performing lifts over the corners of the tracks, especially with reduced track widths. The maximum track width of 19 ft., a reduced width of 16.4 ft. and a narrow 11.5 ft. track width are available. As with the other Liebherr LTR cranes, the LTR 1150 also is equipped with load charts for slopes up to a maximum of 4 degrees — in gradations of 0.3, 0.7, 1.5, 2.5 and 4 degrees. For the first time for its telescopic crawler cranes, Liebherr also has calculated “WindSpeed Load Charts” for the new LTR 1150, which make it possible to work safely and flexibly even at higher permissible wind speeds of up to 15.6 m/s — even with the full load capacity in many boom positions.

Ideal Crane for Wind Farms, Construction Industry

Liebherr Expands Telescopic Crawler Crane Lineup With LTR 1150

Due to its high performance and excellent pick & carry characteristics, the new LTR 1150 is ideal for auxiliary tasks in the assembly of wind turbines. It is capable of assembling crawler cranes up to the 1,102 ton class and can move components weighing over 66 tons. continued on page 24

The new LTR 1150 complements Liebherr's portfolio of telescopic crawler cranes.

Manitowoc photo

The MR 229 is the first Potain luffing jib crane to feature Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS), helping to get work done faster and more accurately. With CCS, it takes just 15 minutes to configure the crane, calibrate sensors for crane movement and set the trolley limit switch and jib length, according to the manufacturer. 18

adius Group, a UK crane rental company and Potain partner since 2008, recently erected the world’s first Potain MR 229 luffing jib crane. This milestone deployment occurred on a project for housing association L&Q Group, featuring 476 new homes on the Greenwich Peninsula in London. Radius Group had already selected four MR 225 A cranes for the project based on the maximum capacity requirement of 2.4 tons at full reach but increasing efficiency pressures led the company to swap one of the MR 225 A cranes for an MR 229 as soon as it became available. The MR 229 is the first Potain luffing jib crane to feature Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS), helping to get work done faster and more accurately. With CCS, it takes just 15 minutes to configure the crane, calibrate sensors for crane movement, and set the jib length, the manufacturer said. The MR 229 also is the first to include the new Potain CONNECT telematics system, which streamlines daily tasks, facilitates efficient fleet management, and optimizes service and maintenance. Teddy Holt, operations director at Radius Group, said, “Innovation has always been critical to Radius Group, and this is an exciting milestone for us. Being the first lifting provider in the world to erect an MR 229 on a live construction site is another great example of having a strong focus on continuous improvement, making Radius a lifting industry leader.” The Potain MR 229 boasts a maximum capacity of 15.4 tons, jib lengths ranging from 98 to 180 ft. and an impressive 3 ton tip load at full reach. Another important feature for congested job sites is the short out of service radius, which is just 33 or 39 ft. depending on the jib length. The crane also provides the option of two brand-new high-performance hoist winches: the 75HPL35 and the 110HPL35. For the Greenwich Peninsula project, it has been configured with a 164 ft. jib and 123 ft. height under hook and uses a 75HLP35 winch. The three MR 225 A cranes have been configured on fixing angles and with 131 ft. jibs. Radius Group will be responsible for managing the cranes throughout the entire project lifecycle, including logistics, erection, operation and dismantling. A key advantage of the choice of cranes is that they will be able to erect and dismantle each other, saving money on mobile cranes. The cranes will remain in operation until Q4 2025, with the project set for completion in 2027. Radius Group is partnered with NFT, the leading tower crane supplier in the industry, which provides a complete tower crane solution. Radius has access to the NFT fleet, which is permanently growing and counts now more than 3,000 tower cranes, with a range of modern trolley jib cranes from 196 tons to 3,527 tons and luffing jib cranes from 176 to 716 tons.

^ii=`ê~åÉ=cáêëí=íç=dÉí=kÉï= iáÉÄÜÉêê=oçìÖÜ=qÉêê~áå=`ê~åÉ

The newest rough terrain (RT) cranes from Liebherr are set to make their world debut in the field when the ALL Family of Companies takes delivery of the first five units through early next year. The Liebherr LRT 1130-2.1 boasts the strongest-in-class 140-ton capacity and the longest telescopic boom (197 ft.) of any two-axle RT in the world, according to the manufacturer. Apart from its high performance, the LRT 1130-2.1 delivers the most economical transport dimensions of its performance class, being able to be transported on conventional low loaders anywhere in the world. “ALL has a tradition of making history

when it comes to high-capacity RTs,” said Brian Peretin, general manager, sales, of the mobile and crawler cranes division of Liebherr USA. “ALL purchased the very first units of our 90-ton and the 100-ton RT series when they were first released.” Especially popular in the North American market, rough terrain cranes are always in high demand for petrochemical maintenance and construction, as well as serving as assist cranes and tail cranes for wind energy assembly and repair. “Larger RTs have become a phenomenon in the past 10 to 15 years,” said Peretin. “They offer many of the same features of all terrain cranes, but with a

smaller footprint, pick-and-carry capabilities, and a smaller cash outlay.” Liebherr developed the LRT 1130-2.1 based on input from heavy RT users like ALL, who have a feel for what the market demands. Designed to make transport between job sites simple and economical, the dimensions of the LRT 1130-2.1 allow it to be transported on low-loaders without disassembly of the basic unit. These first five units are expected to be in high demand for applications requiring a solid load chart, long boom and the need to fit into tight spaces.

TRAINING STANDARDS CCO Forms Educational Service to Focus On Auditing, Approving Providers

he National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (CCO) announced the formation of CCO

Education Services LLC (CCO EDU). One of the core elements in CCO’s mission has been to improve the standards of knowledge. While CCO certification is a vital element in creating safer job sites, the quality of preparatory training is an essential component of certification. To that end, CCO EDU has been formed as a new subsidiary of CCO. CCO EDU will focus on developing, auditing and approving a network of “accredited” training providers. The “accredited” training providers will be required to meet stringent training standards. Additionally, CCO EDU also will develop basic training materials that can be used by training providers and the industry to improve the overall level of training for CCO certification candidates. To achieve this goal, CCO EDU will establish a committee

of training subject matter experts to develop training material. “CCO recognizes the importance of training to increase safety in the industry,” said Thom Sicklesteel, CEO, CCO. “CCO remains dedicated to being the Gold Standard of certification and to partnering with training providers to improve the quality of training to prepare candidates for CCO certification exams.” More information on the training provider accreditation program, training materials, and the formation of committees will be available in January 2024.

FIRST OF ITS KIND Empire Crane Co. Takes in First Jekko JF990 in U.S.

Empire Crane photo

The Jekko JF990 features a max lifting capacity of 46,297 lbs., a 112-ft. reach and comes with an additional option for a man basket.

Empire Crane Company recently took ownership of two new Jekko articulating crawler cranes at its Hanson, Mass., location, one of which is the first of its kind to make it to the United States. That unit being the Jekko JF990, which is the biggest transportable crawler crane in the brand’s lineup. It features a max lifting capacity of 46,297 lbs., a 112-ft. reach and comes with an additional option for a man basket. The second unit that was brought in is a Jekko JF545, a returning model for Empire Crane that boasts a 34,170-lb. max lifting capacity and a 106-ft. max lifting height and comes with a GMT grapple saw already attached. “The Jekko brand is a new and burgeoning offering for our company

and is one that we’re very excited to see where it leads,” said Paul Lonergan, president and part owner of Empire Crane. “We’re thrilled to be the first dealer in the country to offer as versatile a machine as the JF990. Even though it’s the largest crane in Jekko’s fleet, its size is still manageable in tight spaces while being able to take on some serious tonnage.” Empire Crane became an authorized dealer of Jekko machines in December 2022 and the manufacturer has quickly become a major player for the company in both purchases and rentals. More than 20 purchases and rentals have been facilitated by Empire’s sales team in the northeast to customers around the country. For more information, visit empirecrane.com. 

The LTR 1150 can be transported complete with crawler carriers on a low loader with a total weight of only 66 tons and a width of 11.5 ft. 24

Wind turbine components such as nacelles and hubs are in a similar weight range. As well as unloading these parts from the transport vehicles, the LTR 1150 also can drive them around the construction site without any load restrictions. This unique feature of telescopic crawlers in the telescopic crane sector also makes them extremely appealing on construction sites where many lifts need to be carried out in different places, for example in the construction of industrial buildings. With the short, powerful erection jib and the additional hoist gear, the LTR 1150 can move loads of up to 38 tons into the desired position. The range of working equipment for the 170.6 ft. telescopic boom also includes a hydraulically adjustable double folding jib and telescopic boom extensions that allow hoisting heights of up to 272 ft. to be achieved.
