“The VPC technology is going to set a new standard in Ground Bearing Pressure standards and expectations.” Paul Belcher, Mountain Crane Service
“The VPC technology reduces ground prep, which is an immediate savings for our customers.” Rick Mikut, ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp.
MLC300 / MLC650
The market has spoken.
With the exclusive Variable Position Counterweight (VPC) technology, the new MLC300 (300 t) and MLC650 (650 t) provide unique efficiencies and savings other crawler cranes simply cannot.
• The VPC system is easy to operate because it automatically positions the counterweight to fit the required lift
• Ideal for energy-related and infrastructure projects, barge work and wind turbine installation
• VPC-MAX attachment counterweight never touches the ground — reducing ground preparation area and ground bearing pressure by eliminating the need for a wheeled attachment

Nearby buildings may have another significant influence on the same crane at the beginning of the project when the building is at foundation level. If the crane with its raised jib is at the same height as nearby buildings, these structures may provide shelter or create a tunnel effect that can even increase the wind load on the crane. Where surrounding buildings are significantly taller than the crane at the starting point of the construction, they will often generate increased wind loading on nearby lower cranes.

a luffing jib crane when the jib is raised or when a short boom combination is selected. Typical modern rope operated luffing jib cranes have a short machinery deck with fixed ballast plates at the rear. Different rigging conditions have significant influence on the safe out of service position. Rigged with a 55 to 60 m boom, depending on the manufacturer, the permitted out of service position may be the longest radius. For this a permissible radius for weathervaning is 16 to 20 m. In this situation there is enough front moment created by the jib itself to let the crane slew free in the wind. The risk, however, of a jib overturning due to sudden gusts from the front is essential to consider. At the middle jib length configuration, for example, 40 to In out of service position the boom of this 50 m, a 14 to 18 m weathervaning radius modified Jaso J138PA is locked against a rigid can be accepted.

the front to bend the jib backwards over the A-frame. In addition, when booming up, the counterweight is moving in towards the tower, meaning that the back moment forces are reduced so the jib can lead the crane to turn into the wind more easily than cranes with fixed ballast. Everdigm Corporation in Korea offers an example of this latest breed in the form of the ED580L. Anthony Chang, Everdigm spokesperson, points out how the moving ballast design allows the crane to weathervane at 15 m/s in parking position. To bend the jib backwards would require a 50 m/s wind speed from the front, Chang said. When tower crane designer Franc Jost pioneered the original moving ballast system in 1994 he gave a maximum safe out of service position of 86 degrees with 30 m jib on the BN 355.

In all cases Jost said it demonstrated, as a result of investigations, that the crane jibs were damaged by high side wind loadings because the cranes had not weathervaned. >

Instead of following competitor crane designs, the luffing ram is positioned in the back of the tower head, protecting it against possible collusion of loads handled at minimum radius. In out of service position the ram is retracted and also in a protected position, instead of being extended as is a characteristic of all other hydraulic luffing jib cranes. Holding the jib by pendants means that it can be designed very light weight, reducing luffing power consumption

An example came to light after a minimum test erection and long term measurements radius at the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) in Buxton, UK. The spring buffers of a common rope luffing jib crane were extended to avoid uncontrolled movement of the jib at minimum radius. Manufacturers entering the market with a new crane design should consider the experience of competitors and crane users who may have already collected valuable data concerning the effect of wind on luffing jib cranes. In addition to careful calculation, the author is of the opinion that it would be good practice to use wind tunnel tests 15 m typically required. With the double or extensive field monitoring on the lever principle the jib reaches only about manufacturer’s test ground for every jib half the height of conventional single rigging condition of the prototype crane, jib cranes.

A total of 710 tonnes of Avoiding obstacles counterweight was used “To overcome the subsequent slewing to complete the lift process over a high pipe bridge the column initially had to be raised to a hook height of around 80 metres, the radius reduced and the crawler crane moved just a few metres,” a spokesperson said. “Without reducing the radius of the suspended ballast pallet by around two metres to 13.5 metres, the guying rods and suspended ballast would not have got past the pipes and pillars.” The LR 11000 worked at the Romanian plant until the end of July, when it was shut down for a general overhaul. During this shutdown Felbermayr brought in a fleet of around 70 cranes to work on the site. Work for the big crawler during this time included removing the old columns once the new ones had been connected. ■

COMMENTJoel M Dandrea Change for success Leaders in any industry often invest substantial amounts of rushed technology, forced marketing campaigns, overzealous of time, energy, and thought keeping an eye out for sales tactics and foolish hires. Smart companies recognise that disruption, only to have it catch them off guard a little, or disruption is a gradual process that requires balanced supervision, a lot, when it finally happens. That’s because disruption, or change, and an ability to accept change and absorb it into their business as as it is also known, rarely happens all at once. It is usually a series, it evolves. Here are four signals that indicate pending changes in often years in the making, of interrelated events, impacts, even any industry. By learning to anticipate and address these signals dynamics, that lead to a shift in the way companies do business and on a regular basis, leaders stand a far better chance at weathering ultimately view themselves in the greater scheme of things. disruption and pulling through industry shifts with poise Disruption occurs in many forms, and typically uses the and proficiency. momentum of a new technology and/or innovation, or even cultural changes. This is the big concern: customers (and Customer habits: Pay attention to what customers in your sometimes staff) will leave and choose the competition because industry are positively responding to, and whether or not this they were out in front of a new trend, or an even larger shift and, response is indicative of a potential permanent change in their thus, look to be more prepared – both in the present and for the operational habits and behaviours, or simply an enthusiastic future. That perception can make a company look incredibly response to a temporary trend. adaptive and relevant, or sluggish and out of touch – depending on what side of that shift they fall. Evolving production technology: The ability to recognise As an example, our industry is experiencing certain shifts that the difference between technological innovations that could make will eventually prove themselves as outright disruptions in due a task easier versus those that could potentially cause seismic shifts time: technology, cultural diversity, and youth. These three realities in the industry is a necessary skill for leaders looking to prepare are still functionally manageable enough to observe and measure their companies for disruption. to a certain extent. But there will be a time when this trio (not to mention some other disruptors that are yet to be discovered) will Competitive niche fillers: Signs of industry change on the impact, and often change, the way we do business on almost every horizon can often be seen when smaller competitors begin having level, from the top down. It will serve this industry’s leaders well success moving into more customised, niche spaces and offering to understand and adapt to these changes along the way so that quick-hit, tailored services at reduced prices. the future impacts will more easily flow into existing cultures and modes of operation. Government regulation: Whether government regulations are Within this steady inspection for disruptive swings, however, loosening or tightening in a particular area, smart leaders know many companies can overcommit to the perceived danger and to keep one eye on policy and the other on the road ahead. Where think they have to be the disruptor, the cause of the change, so one door seemingly closes, another one might be opening, and vice that it doesn’t sneak up on them and wreak havoc. This can often versa. Regulation can certainly cause chaos within companies that do more damage than the actual change – sometimes in the form fail to understand its influence on industry change. ■
