Crane set up on a
parking garage
A-Quick Pick Crane and Rigging Service of Derby, CT recently set up
their GMK 5275 on top of a parking garage for a roofing contractor
at Yale New Haven hospital in Connecticut.
The job itself was routine; general materials were hoisted for
re-roofing on the main hospital building. However the set-up of the
crane was an engineering
feat.
The only place the crane
could be set up to reach
the section of roof being
worked on was from
the top of a two-story,
underground parking
garage. Engineers had to
design a way to support
the deck so it wouldn’t
collapse under the weight
of the crane. Their
solution was to use shoring
under each outrigger. Thirty-
two steel columns under each
outrigger down two stories
provided the support needed for
the crane.
HIGHLIGHTS
Crane Service gets new
Terex AC 250-1 AT
Crane Service Inc., based in
Albuquerque, NM, has taken
delivery of a new 250 metric
ton capacity class Terex AC
250-1 all terrain crane.
The AC 250-1 has an 80
meter pinned boom and is
transportable within a 12-
metric-ton axle load limit.
“We decided on this model
based on our relationship
with Terex and our positive
experience of the AC 100/4L,”
said Scott Wilson, president.
“We were impressed by the
main boom combinations and
the 80 meter full power boom
was a definite advantage.
Not to mention the crane’s
impressive lifting capacities
across the board. The
counterweight configurations
and options make it
operationally and logistically
very friendly, especially here
in the United States.”
