Customer Challenge
Assemble rail mounted gantry crane in an extremely limited working area adjacent to hazardous materials.
Our Solution
We assembled the crane from top to bottom; counter to how gantry cranes are traditionally installed. We assembled the girders first while lifting them with gantries, then attached the legs from the underside. All of this was done without using a crane and utilizing our specialty rigging and lifting equipment.
