Great Lakes Brewing Company Takes on Challenging Expansion Cleveland, Ohio’s Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC) produces a variety of year-round and specialty “seasonal” beers which are very popular around the Great Lakes region, and, where available, throughout the rest of the country. GLBC has been growing by leaps and bounds, and the decision was made back in late 2013 to undertake a $7 million expansion of the brewery’s tanks in 2014. “The decision was based on our 20 percent growth in 2013, plus future plans to expand to new markets, while meeting growing demand in existing markets,” said Greg Lemermeier, manager of engineering and technology of GLBC. The challenge? The brewery is in a tightly packed, urban area, and the four new tanks would be installed on the edge of a busy parking lot. There would be close-by buildings, vehicles and overhead power lines to tackle in this project.

The project would take an entire year in planning and execution, and was handled in phases during the summer of 2014. Superior Erection was called on first to assist with rigging and setting the new tanks. First, two new 600 bbl (18,000 gal. [68,137 L]) Brite storage tanks, which hold finished beer that is ready for packaging, were to be installed. Each was twice the size of the brewery’s older storage tanks, literally quadrupling the brewery’s storage capacity. The two tanks are expected to last two to three years, depending on future expansion. For the next phase, four new 600 bbl fermentation tanks would be installed. The new fermenters would hold the brewery’s most popular, high-volume beers. Because finished beer has to be chilled when stored, and with an increased need for cooling due to the new tanks, the brewery had to upgrade to a new chiller, first removing the two old ones from the brewery’s roof. Superior installed the steel work and rigged the new, massive chiller into place, which was three times the size of the two old chillers combined. To install the new Brites, fermenters and chiller, the brewery needed to take over part of the adjacent parking lot. Superior and GLBC worked with the lot’s owners on scheduling temporary closure of the lot, including compensation for lost parking revenue during that time. They also had to work around the schedule of the nearby, West Side Market, a destination for locals and out-of-towners alike. Because of the size of the tanks and the nature of work to be performed in lifting and setting them into place, GLBC and Superior obtained numerous permits, escorts, and even permission to close nearby roads at times, to ensure safety of visitors, cars and other businesses in the area. And they were on a tight timeline — permits could only be issued for a day at a time, so when closures were in place, the team had to work quickly. For the Brite tanks and fermenters, Superior used a 250-ton (226.8 t) Grove GMK crane with a 50-ton (45 t) Grove TMS acting as an assist crane in lifting and tilting each tank into the upright position with a tight, 125-ft. (38 t) radius. The 250-ton crane then set the tanks up vertically, and lowered each through the roof’s open hatch onto wheeled skates. Once set upright, they were wheeled into their final positions. Everything went as planned, and the brewery proceeded with the rest of the project, including new electrical work and mechanical install of process piping. The new tanks were operational just before Christmas of 2014. “This was our first time working with Superior. They were recommended by a general contractor and were great to work with,” said Lemermeier. “Through the various stages of the project, they have had several different crews out and all have been professional, efficient and very flexible with the various changes and surprises that tend to come up on complex projects. They also were very safety conscious, and always followed our safety guidelines. We plan on working with them in the future.” As GLBC’s popularity continues to expand, the increased capacity has helped ensure that the future is bright for the brewery — and that cold beer flows freely from the taps.

Connolly Crane Service and its new Link-Belt ATC3210 executes the first of three picks on the north shore of Lake Tahoe.

Connolly Saves Fourth Fireworks Show With Help From Link-Belt For years, the pristine community of Incline Village, Nev., has provided the perfect backdrop for one of the largest Independence Day fireworks displays in the United States — on the north end of Lake Tahoe. Connolly Crane has had the honor for many years of placing barges in the lake from which the fireworks are set off and the pyrotechnics are the culmination of the “Red, White and Tahoe Blue” celebration. But the California drought threatened this year’s event. The water level in Lake Tahoe is at its lowest point since 1992, which presented quite the challenge for Gardnerville, Nev.’s Connolly Crane. The receding water at the boat ramp at Ski Beach would require the barges to be moved a radius of more than 100 ft. (30.5 m) from the trailers they would be brought in on. Three of the four barges weighed more than 21,000 lbs. (9,525.44 kg) each and a fourth weighed in at 12,000 lbs. (9,525.44 kg). But that wasn’t the only problem. Incline Village is known as a playground and tax haven for wealthy Californians — some of the more famous residents include Michael Milken, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison, Aaron Rogers and Mike Love, to name a few. And they don’t like noise and disruption. Their community organization IVGID (Incline Village General Improvement District) was

The “roadability” of the AT C3210 was impressive, Connolly said. Speeds of up to 62 mph were maintained.

created to keep such activities that would cause these to a minimum. In addition, there also was the far from crane-friendly tight, winding, tree-lined road leading to the beach, as well as the limited timeframe required for both set up and tear down. Connolly Crane has relied on its Link-Belt RTC 8090 for the past five years, but owner Kelly Connolly knew that the crane would not handle the increased radius caused by the drought this year. Luckily, Connolly had been introduced to the Link-Belt ATC 3210 at ConExpo 2014 and had spent the past year working with Link-Belt and its dealer, NixonEgli, to order and customize the model to meet his company’s specific needs. The 210-ton (190.5 t) capacity crane, which would become the largest in his fleet, arrived just in time for the “Red, White and Tahoe Blue” event, with mere days to spare. Connolly put the crane right to work and he said the crane performed flawlessly. “This was a very tight job site,” said Connolly. “The coordinated front back steering was crucial or we would not have maneuvered in there.” Less support was needed to accompany the crane to a job, which impressed Connolly. “We got there faster, with fewer trucks and personnel than before,” he said. “It [ATC 3210] does everything Link-Belt said it would do,” said Operator Travis Phillips. “We took the second load to 90 percent of load chart and the crane handled it very well.” In addition to performance, comfort was at an all-time high with the

crane’s cab. The ATC 3210 was a pleasure to drive the 35 miles or so of winding road from Gardnerville to Incline Village, Phillips said. “The crane is very smooth. It felt good at 62 mph with the dolly behind it.” Due to the combined performance, capacity, transportability and comfort of Link-Belt’s ATC, in conjunction with Connolly Crane’s team, a job that could have ended up in disappointment for thousands of fireworks viewers was completed in the nick of time. During Connolly’s almost 30 years in business, crane technology has changed and so has his business. But Connolly’s philosophy has not. “We continue to be solution driven,” he said. “We are committed to having the right equipment and the right personnel for the job.” That he proved on this job. But he also credits Nixon-Egli. “The folks at Nixon-Egli were key to this whole thing,” he said, whose relationship with the dealer goes back to the company’s first purchase, an RTC 8070. “Mark Lomas, our salesman, Dana Randle, their vice president of sales, and Vern Gunderson, the general sales manager, were all great.” “I love Nixon-Egli … it is all about service with them,” Connolly said. “When I call them and say ‘crane down,’ it means something — they react. If it’s in the middle of the night, they are on the way. Their parts guy Randy Davis has bailed us out many times in the middle of the night. He has personally driven 100 miles at midnight to bring us a part.”

About Connolly Crane Kelly Connolly founded Connolly Crane in 1986. After years of working as a crane operator, he decided to take the next step, purchasing a Grove TM180 and venturing out on his own. His company grew steadily over the next couple of decades and became known fondly around the West as “the mountain crane people.” The company grew rapidly in the early 2000s and has quickly become a major player in the crane industry in northern Nevada and

Rocket Crane Uses Link-Belt ATC-3275 to Lift 130,000-Pound Steel Shear in St. Paul In 1945, Perry B. Hanson started his Minneapolis, Minn., crane company with an H-3 Bucyrus-Erie Co. crane with clam shell attachments to dig and set underground storage tanks. Nearly 70 years later, Hanson’s Rocket Crane Service Inc. has several new Link-Belt crane models, including an ATC-3275 all-terrain crane the company purchased in early 2013 just before Mr. Hanson retired after nearly 70 years in the crane business. Today, the company is run by his two sons, Paul and Pat. “Even though we got it primarily for the 275-ton capacity, the 3275 can also be rented at a lower capacity 165-ton, 200-ton or even a 250ton crane. We did not have that capability before,” said Pat Hanson. Recently at Northern Metals Recycling Company, Hanson put the ATC-3275 to work by relocating a 140,000 lb. (58,967 kg) Metso Lindemann LS600 steel shear from its temporary location to a new stationary site at the recycling facility. The 3275 allowed for a change in the original plans (a tandem lift using two cranes and a transport truck) since space at the recycling facility was limited. “It’s tough to work with multiple pieces of equipment in a smaller space, said Paul Hanson. “One crane capable of the lift is better in a confined area, and eliminates a tricky tandem lift that would have to be done several times to get the shear to its final destination.” Other concerns were soft, uneven, sloped ground conditions, along with imbalance of the large shear with its extended, housed, 15-ft. (4.5 m) cylinder. The shear load was eventually rated at 144,000 lbs. (65,317.3 kg) rigged, and swung at a 30 ft. (9.1 m) radius. Once the shear

was placed on the reinforced concrete piles with embedded steel plates, the shear could be properly powered, maintained, stabilized and leveled for long-term use. The shear, with 5,400-psi strength, is capable of cutting up to 3-in. (7.62 cm) thick steel into 2 to 4-ft. (.6 to 1.2 m) lengths (e.g. rebar or demolished bridge steel).

Contractor Banks on Maeda Mini-Crane

The contractors were able to fill-in where the tower cranes left off on the East Tower project with a Maeda MC 405.

Brickell, an urban neighborhood in Miami, is referred to as the “Manhattan of the South,” with the largest concentration of international banks in the United States. Brickell City Centre is a $1.05 billion mixed-use development strategically located in the center of the Brickell financial district. The contractors were able to fill-in where the tower cranes left off on the East Tower project with a Maeda MC 405. As the tower nears completion, one of the tower cranes was removed leaving an area inaccessible with steel, glass and curtain wall construction still needing crane service. The solution was to place the Maeda with five-section telescoping boom on the roof. At 13,000 lbs. (5,896.7 kg) the mini-crane passed the weight requirement. Its 67 ft. 10 in. (20.7 m) lift height, with fly jib option, and 8,480-lb. (3,846.4 kg) maximum capacity met all the lifting demands. With 54-in. (137.1 cm) width, it also was able to maneuver on the roof and other floors with selfpowered rubber tracks to keep the project on schedule.

Potain Tower Crane Reaches Across Chicago River for Wolf Point West A Potain MD 485 B M20 tower crane on the site of a new housing project along the Chicago riverfront — a 50-story apartment tower dubbed Wolf Point West. The job is unique, with much of the building’s framework needing to be lifted and placed over the river’s flowing waters where its north and south branches meet. The joint venture includes Chicago, Ill., based McHugh Construction Co. and Clark Construction Group, Chicago LLC., is in charge of the construction. The MD 485 B, which arrived in June of last year, was needed for its reach and capacity, according to Patrick McGarvey, proj-

The crane was critical to getting the steel structure into place.” McHugh Construction rented the MD485 from Central Contractors Service. Central is part of the ALL Family of Companies, North America’s largest privately held crane rental and sales company, according to the company, with 37 branches across the United States and Canada. John Martello, general manager of Central Contractors, with two branches in the Chicago area, touted the features of the crane. “The MD 485 B M20 can hoist 22 tons at a time and move a load up to 735 feet per minute — that’s impressive and made this an ideal crane for the job.” The Potain MD 485 B M20 will be on site until June of 2015. The residential building will be completed in February 2016, providing 500 luxury rental apartments.

Manitowoc Supports NCCCO, Sponsors Calculators for Use on CCO Exams In support of the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators’ (NCCCO) policy of providing calculators for certain CCO written exams, Manitowoc Cranes has agreed to provide 10,000 calculators for candidates’ use. Basic calculators are supplied for CCO mobile crane operator specialty exams, digger derrick operator, rigger level II, mobile crane inspector, mobile crane lift director and tower crane lift director exams. “Manitowoc is delighted to show its support of CCO certification programs and the safety benefits that certification brings,” said Larry Weyers, president of Manitowoc Cranes. “This important sponsorship opportunity demonstrates Manitowoc’s commitment to NCCCO’s primary mission of promoting safe lifting practices.” Under the terms of Manitowoc’s sponsorship, candidates will be permitted to keep the calculators after completing their exam(s). Since the policy allowing calculators on specific tests went into effect three years ago, NCCCO has given away more than 45,000 calculators to certification candidates. For security reasons, only NCCCO-supplied calculators are permitted to be used on CCO examinations. Candidates using computer-based testing are provided with an on-screen calculator. NCCCO began allowing calculators on specific exams following a

study conducted by International Assessment Institute (IAI), the company that provides test development and administration services to NCCCO. The study, The Effects of Calculator Use During NCCCO Testing, concluded that, while the use of calculators would not be appropriate for use on basic math questions contained in CCO core exams, their use would be supportable on load chart calculations used on CCO specialty exams. Manitowoc was the first sponsor of the NCCCO calculator program and, to date, has provided more than 30,000 calculators for use by CCO candidates. Manitowoc’s calculator sponsorship is only one part of its support of NCCCO’s 20th anniversary. “We’re delighted that, in NCCCO’s 20th anniversary year, Manitowoc has once again agreed to make this major investment in support of CCO certification,” said Ellis Vliet, NCCCO commission chairman. “NCCCO strives to maintain the highest possible standards of quality, integrity and fairness in testing, and our calculator policy, which permits candidates to keep the calculators for use in their daily work, is directly in line with that goal.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) 28

A Show of Strength: Terex Cranes Lift Steel Bridge in Switzerland of the second element using hydraulic power. In addition, the bridge elements’ size made it necessary for the Toggenburger team to use Genie aerial work platforms to rig the load-securing equipment. “Despite the sophisticated setup we had for maneuvering the loads, we were a little worried, because any strong winds would have prevented us from performing the lifts,” Dudler said. The anxiety proved to be unwarranted, as the weather was magnificently inviting on both lifting days, with the result being that several hundred people gathered on the morning of Feb. 14 to watch the spectacular first two lifts at the site. The Terex CC 2400-1 crawler crane started off by picking up double element 1/2 directly from the assembly site at a working radius of 59 ft. (18 m). The crane then proceeded to lift the element, which had a total length of 182 ft. (55.5 m) and weighed 303 tons (275 t) together with the corresponding load-securing devices, to a height of 39 ft. (12 m) before safely putting it down on the piers. During this operation, the crane operated at approximately 97 percent of its capacity. Meanwhile, the CC 2500-1 crane was responsible for bringing bridge element 3, which was 134 ft. (41 m) long and had a gross weight of 275 tons (250 t), to its installation position. A modular trailer was used to move the element forward from the assembly site, after which the crane picked it up at a working radius of 59 ft. (18 m), lifted it, and set it down at the intended position. In this case, the crane operated at 74 percent of capacity. With this, the lifts planned for the day were completed as scheduled and the first half of the span — all the way to the center pier — was in place. “Afterwards we moved the cranes about a hundred meters forward so that they would be in place for the next day,” said Huber. When Sunday morning came, the team was prepared to carry out the remaining lifts. The CC 2400-1 crane lifted element 4, which had a length of 24 ft. (22 m), weighed 104 tons (95 t) and required load-securing equipment weighing 22 tons (20 t) — at a working radius of 31.9 ft. (29 m). Bridge elements 5/6, which were nearly 160 ft. (49 m) long and had a gross weight of 264 tons (240 t), were left to the CC 2500-1 crane, which used a working radius of 82 ft. (25 m) and operated at 83 percent of capacity to safely put them in place. Finally, the two crawler cranes left the 19.2-ton (17.5 t) final element 7 to the assist crane, which completed the final lift perfectly on schedule. “When you have the right machines, a good team, and professional planning, even the most demanding projects become routine. Of course, you’re still relieved at the end when everything goes smoothly.” said Huber and Dudler. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

To lift a 974-ton (884 t), 531 ft. (162 m) long connecting bridge between two buildings at the Coop distribution center in Schafisheim, Switzerland, crane service provider Toggenburger used the two largest cranes available in the country: Its Terex CC 2400-1 and CC 2500-1 lattice boom crawler cranes. “The individual bridge components had enormous gross weights of up to 275 tonnes and required us to use working radii of up to 29 meters, which made it absolutely necessary to use the largest crawler cranes available in all of Switzerland — our Terex CC 2400-1 and CC 2500-1 duo,” said Toggenburger + Co AG Project Manager André Huber. The two cranes first needed to be transported to the work site in Schafisheim, which took a total of 48 trucks. Once there, Toggenburger’s experienced team and the ease of assembly of both cranes made it possible to set up the units in a mere two and a half days despite the limited space available and the fact that delivery operations continued at the premises. For the upcoming lifts, the seven-person team set up the CC 2400-1 crane with an SSL configuration featuring a main boom length of 157 ft. (48 m), a counterweight of 176 tons (160 t), a central ballast of 44 tons (40 t), and an SL counterweight of 265 tons (240 t). The CC 2500-1 crane was configured almost identically. The only difference: The SL counterweight for the CC 2500-1 weighed 275 tons (250 t). A 143-ton (130 t) hydraulic crane was used as an assist crane. Complex Lift Choreography The way the premises were laid out made it impossible to lift the twolevel bridge as a single unit over the road between the two buildings, so the manufacturer delivered the steel structure in the form of individual components instead. These components were welded together into a total of seven bridge elements at the work site. These elements were then placed on the bridge’s three piers in five lifts. “This required an extraordinary level of precision, since the tolerances for joining the individual elements were a matter of millimeters,” said Toggenburger + Co AG’s Michael Dudler, who oversaw the project together with Huber. Special yokes were fabricated in order to pick up the elements. The design behind these yokes made it possible not only to attach hoist cables to them with shackles, but also to implement the complex approach used to align the bridge elements. This approach consisted of two elements being lifted simultaneously, with one element being rigidly rigged to one of the two cranes while the other crane supported an arrangement with 154 tons (140-t) strand jacks placed at three rigging points between the hoist cables and the yoke. These strand jacks, in turn, made it possible to precisely control the lateral and longitudinal position 30

New Infrastructure Projects to Support Rapid Growth in Kuwait Highway infrastructure projects positively impact a growing community in multiple ways. The projects reduce congestion, allowing the increasing number of commuters to get to their destinations faster and more safely. These projects also boost commerce with other municipalities in the region, contributing to the success and sustained growth of a city. The state of Kuwait has experienced significant growth over the years, in part due to an influx of people emigrating from other countries, and the epicenter of this expansion is Kuwait City. The state is currently investing in a highway expansion project that runs close to Kuwait City. While it will ease congestion, this new roadway more importantly expands a highway network that will facilitate the growth of interregional and international trade with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries. However, it takes a lot of manpower and companies such as heavy lifting contractor Integrated Logistics Company, with its Terex lifting equipment, to complete these projects and turn the highways into a reality.

One such span near Kuwait City required the placement of a 220.5-ton (200-t) steel girder beam to support the bridge span.

Quick Mobilization This state expansion project includes a number of bridge spans and interchanges with crossing roads. One such span near Kuwait City required the placement of a 220.5-ton (200-t) steel girder beam to support the bridge span. Due to the length of the beam, installation required a tandem lift. The bridge’s contractor called on Integrated to perform the delicate operation. “After studying the lift’s requirements, we immediately knew our Terex AC 1000 and AC 500-2 all terrain cranes were the right machines for the job,” said Saleh Al Huwaidi, CEO of Integrated. “They have the capacity needed to safely install the beam, and they are quickly driven to the job site and are very maneuverable.” Maneuverability was key for this pick, as both the jobsite and surrounding area were congested. Both the eight-axle AC 500-2 crane, with its 183.7-ft. (56-m) boom, and the nine-axle AC 1000 crane, with its 164-ft. (50 m) boom, were driven from Integrated’s yard in Kuwait to the project site with the main boom installed. This significantly shortened crane set up time at the site and saved the company money. “Our eight-man crew was able to install the counterweight, rig the cranes and have them ready for the lift in one day,” said Al Huwaidi. The compact design of the two Terex cranes helped Integrated to quickly maneuver the city streets and congested job site. All-axle steering of the AC 1000 crane allowed the operator to effortlessly position the 1,320-ton (1,200-t) crane for the lift. Twenty flatbed trailers transported 428 tons (388 t) of counterweight plus accessories to the site over a two-day period. To simplify counterweight installation, Terex standardizes the weight and shape of these segments, so the same counterweight will work on either the AC 500 or AC 1000 crane.

“Our counterweight design allows the same weights to be used on all our superlift class crawler cranes as well as all terrain crane models ranging from the AC 350 to the AC 1000,” said Christian Kassner, senior manager sales and customer support of Terex Cranes. “This reduces transportation costs and simplifies counterweight logistics.” Tandem Lift Carrying half the beam load, the AC 1000 crane was rigged with 252 tons (228 t) of counterweight and a 275- ton (250 t) hook block. Crews used 84.6 ft. (25.8 m) of main boom length at a 29.5-ft. (9 m) working radius to initially pick up the 13.1 by 6.6 ft. (4 by 2 m) beam. For installation, the crane lifted the beam to 26.2-ft. (8-m) at a 55.8-ft. (17 m) radius. “Even with the weight of the beam at this radius, the AC 1000 crane was at less than 73 percent of safe working load [SWL],” said Kassner. The other half of this dynamic crane duo, the 600-ton (500 t) capacity AC 500-2 crane began lifting its 132.5-ton (102.2 t) total lift weight using 78.7 ft. (24 m) of main boom at a 24.6-ft. (7.5 m) working radius. Equipped with 176 tons (160 t) of counterweight, the crane easily hoisted the beam into position at a 41-ft. (12.5 m) radius, safely operating at less than 82 percent of SWL. Crews successfully installed the 220-ton (200-t) bridge girder beam and began their work to de-rig both the AC 1000 and AC 500-2 all terrain cranes. Within a week of leaving the yard, both cranes were back at Integrated’s facility and ready for the next project. “We chose to use mobile cranes for the project, since they are better for a single lift,” said Al Huwaidi. “We chose the Terex cranes because the service is excellent and reliable, and Terex provides strong technical support to our maintenance team.” For more information, visit www.integrated-me.com.

The refrigerant compressor is driven by a hydraulic motor mounted in Visionaire’s long serving model 1300 drive assembly. The compressor

drive can be fitted with a variety of hydraulic motors and controls to match the vehicle’s hydraulic and cooling requirements. This new model can be used for cooling only or heat can be supplied

to the cab from engine coolant or from the 7115’s optional internal diesel fueled furnace. The 7115 is compatible with Visionaire’s line of filtration/cab pressurization products. “When designing the 7115 we focused on creating a versatile platform of validated components that could be readily configured to meet the specific requirements of smaller OEMs with a shortened design and validation cycle and lower development costs. We were very pleased with the results” said Bill Kerr, Visionaire Inc. vice president of product development. Visionaire Inc., founded in 1994 and headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas, designs and markets many cabin ventilation products for the off-highway equipment market. All of its systems are made of powder coated steel and are designed to withstand high shock and high vibration use typically encountered in the off-highway environment.

New Products

Manitowoc Launches New Potain MDT CCS City Tower Crane Range Manitowoc has officially launched the latest that Potain has to offer from its comprehensive range of MDT City cranes. Unveiled to customers and press at an event at Manitowoc’s facility in St Pierre de Chandieu, France, the new range of Potain tower cranes features Manitowoc’s latest crane control system (CCS). The range includes the MDT 109, MDT 139, MDT 189 and MDT 219, all evolutions of previous MDT City cranes, ranging from 180 to 213 ft. (55 to 65 m), and hoisting capacities from 6.6 to 11 tons (6 to 10 t). “We are at the forefront of tower crane development and our control system will demonstrate this,” said Jean-Noel Daguin, SVP of Potain tower cranes. “For years we have built tower cranes that are easy to assemble, available in flexible configurations and simple to use. We are now entering a new generation of tower cranes, with the highest level performance available. Our worldwide engineering teams worked over several years to make this new crane concept a reality. Now they are better than ever, with features that surpass all performances currently available in the tower crane market.” The MDT CCS City cranes allow complex multi-crane installations by considerably reducing the height gaps and interference of cranes on work sites. The assembly, erection, transport and even maintenance times are reduced, helping to keep operating costs low. The new CCS City range will be available for delivery in late 2015.

Manitowoc Crane Control System (CCS) The new Manitowoc crane control system featured on the MDT CCS City range helps to get more work done faster, and with great precision. The user-friendly crane control system will be progressively installed on all new Potain tower cranes, achieving a high level of comfort, ergonomic control and lifting capacity. With CCS, it takes no more than 15 minutes to commission the crane on site. Setting the limit switches, load limiter and moment limiter are all done on-screen from within the cab — increasing productivity and getting the crane to work faster. Precision, Control and Increased Load Curves Potain’s premium Ultraview Cab, now equipped with the CCS, enhances driver ergonomics and comfort and provides more precise crane control. The new Potain Plus function enables driver versatility and productivity, offering precision control and increased load curves. In the Potain Plus mode, CCS limits dynamic effects by automatically adapting speed and acceleration to further optimize the load curve. Safety With the new CCS, Potain tower cranes will meet or exceed applicable European safety standards. The system monitors itself in real time, ensuring proper operation of the crane, and a seat sensor prevents the crane from being operated unless the operator is present.

Manitowoc has officially launched the latest that Potain has to offer from its comprehensive range of MDT City cranes

Standardized Cabs and Control Systems All Potain MDT, MD and MR range cranes will use the same cab and control systems, making them easier to commission, operate and maintain, saving time and resources, as well as simplifying training for operators and technicians. The standardized cab and sensors allow for improved efficiencies in spare parts. Easy Maintenance and Monitoring An integrated diagnostics tool offers easy monitoring of the crane settings, operations and service maintenance, saving costs and reducing downtime. The system also features a remote function, CraneSTAR Diag, allowing technicians to monitor the crane at distance in real time. Benefits of the new MDT CCS City range: • Fast and easy set-up —configure the crane in 15 minutes • Increased performance and Potain Plus functionality generates extra load chart increase • Optimized ergonomic control — new driver control unit for enhanced ergonomics and control • Highest safety standards in the tower crane industry • Easy maintenance — on-screen maintenance tool and optional remote monitoring through CraneSTAR Diag • Standardized components — easy spare parts availability For more information, visit www.manitowoccranes.com (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) 34
