LIFTING
ACT
NOVEMBER 2013
For testing, the crane is rigged with 400
feet of main boom, 120 feet of jib and a
20 foot jiblet. It has a capacity to lift 3,000
tons in this configuration, which is the
maximum lifting capacity for the crane.
Lampson International has been building
the Transi-Lift cranes for more than
30 years, but this latest crane has been
updated.
“The difference in this crane and
previous LTL models is that it has a 3,000-
ton capacity front crawler,” Stemp says. “It
also has hydraulic hoisting capabilities,
a larger boom cross section, a newly
designed enclosed engine compartment
and an increase from 1½-inch wire rope to
2-inch wire rope.”
New features
New technologies include a state-of-
the-art electronic hydraulic controls
system and Load Moment Indicator, the
Lampson patented boom design that
totally disassembles for easy shipping,
and the Transi-Lift feature of complete
mobility, Stemp says.
“The crane can perform all operations
while traveling, swinging and
maneuvering in any direction,” he says.
While the crane is still technically
earmarked for the nuclear industry in
Japan, Lampson says the Higashi Dori
project is on hold while the Fukushima
issues are resolved.
When the crane is deployed, she
says it will take on a variety of lifting
assignments. “The many applications
for the Lampson Transi-Lift LTL-3000
include power plant construction, dam
construction, refinery work, bridge
construction and infrastructure projects
as well as sports facilities and stadiums
and manufacturing plants,” Lampson
says.

New technologies on this unit
include a state-of-the-art electronic
hydraulic controls system.
The Lampson Transi-Lift LTL 3000 takes
about six weeks to fully erect, and required
four assist cranes, including a 350-ton
crawler, a 230-ton crawler, a 150-ton
crawler and a 60-ton rough terrain crane.
