Crane Operators Are Sky-HighStars in N.Y. Construction BoomBy Verena DobnikASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) Tommy Gambardella is a master of New York’sconstruction universe.

Each morning before dawn, he rides an elevator more than 50 storiesup the side of a skyscraper growing on Manhattan’s West Side. Then, hesteps out onto a narrow walkway with a drop-dead view of the citybelow and mounts some spiral steps into the glass control cab of a towercrane.

There, he’s alone, in silence..

From high in the sky, he can see the sun light up Manhattan all theway to the harbor and the Statue of Liberty. He wraps his fingers aroundtwo joysticks to bring the crane alive.

Gambardella, 49, is at the helm of one of the giant tower cranessprouting across the city, a prime force in a building boom that is chang-ing New York’s skyline. It can be dangerous work — a fact hammeredhome by several deadly accidents in recent years.

“Is it a thrill? I love it. I love it. I absolutely love it,” he said afterclimbing from the translucent fishbowl of his control cab, atop what willbe a 65-story apartment tower. “But you need to have a little more nervethan the average human being, and be a little crazy.”

New York is enjoying a construction bonanza following a recessionthat choked new investment for years. The city has issued permits forabout $35 billion worth of both residential and commercial constructionin the past year.

Fifty-five tower cranes and 26 smaller, “crawler” cranes are now inuse, licensed by the city — about twice as many as two years ago,according to the Department of Buildings.

Standing on the sidewalk, it is hard not to be awed by, and a littlefrightened of, the supertall cranes hoisting loads of steel into the sky.

In 2008, a 250-ft. (76.2 m) -tall tower crane collapsed on Manhattan’sEast Side, obliterating a building below as it fell. Seven people died. Justtwo months later, two workers were killed when a 200-ft. (60.96 m) -tallcrane fell over and struck an apartment building across the street. Lastyear, seven people were injured when an air-conditioning unit weighingtons came untethered from a crane, plunging 28 stories to MadisonAvenue.

More recently, one of the city’s crawler cranes toppled in gusty windson Feb. 5, killing a pedestrian.

That accident has again brought attention to crane safety. Last year,the city hired 50 new construction inspectors for a total of about 450.

People’s lives depend on crane precision, because “you can’t haveanything falling out of the sky,” said Bobby Cipriano, a veteran operatorin charge of crane safety and maintenance at the $4.5 billion BrookfieldProperty Group development, called Manhattan West, whereGambardella works.

“Tower cranes are intimidating, and you have a tremendous respon-sibility,” Cipriano said.

Before the crane moves, his dawn routine includes turning on the gen-erator that powers the electric crane and inspecting cables attached to theboom. He also checks the radio equipment that allows the operator tocontact crew members on the ground.

Hoisting loads is a matter of trust. From the sky, the men on theground look like ants, preparing loads the operator hoists skyward on acable but cannot always see.

“You can feel it. You can feel when it comes up and the signalmansays, ‘Great, that was nice,’” said Cipriano.

“There shouldn’t be any ‘Oh, my God’ moments,” Gambardellaadded.

What none of them trusts is the wind.

When it reaches 30 mph, “you’re getting blown around, knockedaround,” said Gambardella. “It’s very difficult to control the crane, andthe load.”

All work stops.When it comes to spectacular New York buildings, Cipriano, 57, of

Colts Neck, N.J., said he’s seen it all. He’s manned cranes for the newNew York Times building, Goldman Sachs’ downtown headquarters andthe revitalized Times Square.

But his proudest job was working on One World Trade Center, the104-story skyscraper that replaced the twin towers decimated in theSept. 11 attacks. He was part of a crew that slid several cranes on railsup the side of the building to the top.

“It’s gratifying. You drive down the road and you can say, ‘I was upthere. That’s mine. I jacked the crane on that building,’” said Cipriano,his eyes lighting up. “I don’t think I would want to do anything else.”

He remembered one dark night when his crew was installing a crane,“and the Empire State Building is behind you, lit up in different colors,and Madison Square Garden. It’s like being in a plane, and coming in foran approach and at night. It’s really cool.”

At Manhattan West, which will include two new office towers, retail,a hotel, rooftop gardens, restaurants and a public park, Gambardella putsin as much as 12 hours a day. Sometimes the Tomkins Cove, New York,resident is in the cabin for five-hour stretches with no break.

Not everyone is fit for the precarious work.“You’ve got to have a certain disposition — everything calm, no

yelling, no screaming,” says Gambardella.(This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s

Tappan Zee ‘Gets a Lift’ From New Manitowoc MLC300 With VPC MAX

The standard MLC300 without the VPCMAX attachment has a fully extended tailswing of 28 ft. 2 in. (8.6 m). The overalltrack footprint remains the same.

The new MLC300 crane design was pro-moted at ConExpo.

The new 2016 MLC300 with the VPC MAXlift enhancer option works on the TappanZee Bridge.

The MLC300 pulls out sections of the oldTappan Zee Bridge span at night, installspiles for reinforced concrete approachsupports and reinstalls the spans.

Prefabricated deck sections will beunloaded from a barge north of the spanthe crane is resting on. The crane rotates180 degrees and places the sections onthe new south span.

The crane is positioned on a leveling plat-form, on the Nyack side of the new northspan.

CRANE

With the VPC MAX attachment, the older style wagon is replacedby the counterweight being able to fully extend to a tail swing of52 ft. 10 in. (16.1 m) therefore increasing the load moment.

The crane will be moved to different positions on the bridgedeck, disassembled, lowered onto a barge with the LCL (leftcoast lifter) and repositioned on the Westchester side for similarapplications.

Wood’s CRW held an open house April 1 at its Carlisle, Pa.,

facility. The event featured crane demos, presentations, door

prizes and food as well as a crane skills competition present-

ed by the Crane Institute Certification’s Cranes 101.

Vendors in attendance were Link-Belt, National Crane, Samson

Rope, Volvo Financial, Peterbilt, Shuttlelift, Maeda, Merlo and A-1A

software. Featured pieces of equipment included Maeda USA mini-

crawler cranes, Merlo telehandlers, Link-Belt cranes and Samson

Ropes.

Merlo telehandlers were a big hit during the event; the Roto makes it

possible to operate 360 degrees, which gives it a greater radius compared

with a fixed telehandler. The Merlo 120.10 HM also caught the eye of

attendees because of its massive maximum load capacity: 26,500 lbs.

The lift capacity at lift height is 11,000 lbs. and at reach it is 6,100 lbs.

The Samson KZ-100 synthetic crane hoist line attracted attention as

well. Attendees were pleased when they learned that existing cranes can

be retrofitted with the KZ-100. The rope’s design incorporates a propri-

etary coating to mitigate UV degradation and is 80 percent lighter at sim-

ilar strengths and its braided, torque-neutral construction significantly

reduces load spin.

Maeda mini-cranes drew a crowd as John Carpenter, sales manager

of Maeda USA, showed attendees how easy it is to set up the crane from

its folded position. The MC285-2 has a slim 30-in. body and is ideal for

fitting inside garages, warehouses, service elevators and many other

locations.

The Link-Belt HTC-86110 made its debut last year at CraneFest in

Lexington, Ky., and it was prominently displayed during the Wood’s

CRW open house. The HTC-86110 features a 164-ft. (50 m) main boom

that outreaches the truck crane competition. The operator’s cab includes

power tilt from 0 to 20 degrees along with a pull-out “cabwalk” for easy

entry. For nighttime shifts, there are four high intensity work lights

mounted to the top of the cab.

Tyler Mayo of BGM Inc. in Hardwick, Vt., won the crane competi-

tion, which earned him $500 and a paid trip to compete in the finals at

the ICUEE show in 2017. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s

Maeda Mini-Crane Goes to Work

Where Tower Crane Can’t ReachA Maeda MC285 was utilized by a glass and curtain wall company

to hoist and install unitized glass curtain wall panels on the exterior ofAMEGY Bank’s new Houston headquarters. The contractor was able touse conventional equipment to install unitized curtain glass panels inmost areas of the 25 story building and parking garage structure, how-ever, panels on the facade of the parking garage structure were larger andheavier than could be handled safely with their smaller capacity equip-ment. Also the installation area could not be reached by the existingtower crane on site.

The installers were able to speed up the installation of the panels usingthe MC285. The contractor was using conventional equipment, whichwould hoist one panel from a floor or two below and then set them intoplace, move the equipment, then set another panel. This process wastime consuming and cumbersome. With the MC285 set up in one posi-tion, up to six panels could be set in sequence without a machine move.

When the next section of panels was installed, repositioning the

MC285 could be done in minutes, saving time for the contractor.Access to the top deck of the parking garage structure was easy with

the MC285 traveling on rubber tracks up to the top level, much like avehicle would drive up into a parking garage. At 4 ft. 10 in. (1.2 m 25cm) high, there were no overhead height concerns when traveling in thegarage.

Overall weight of the MC285 of 4,325 lbs. (1,961.8 kg) meant that itcould travel and be set up in various jobsite areas without the concernsand issues of much heavier conventional equipment. Narrow width of 30in. (76.2 cm) let the MC285 access tight areas and maneuver in closequarters if needed.

Safety was a primary concern for the contractor. The MC285’smoment limiter safety system with load charts programmed in, com-bined with Maeda’s outrigger interlock safety system, made hoistingpanels of various weights from floors below safe and efficient for theoperator.

The installers were ableto speed up the instal-

lation of the panelsusing the MC285.

The MC285 stops hoisting function if the crane’s capacities are

exceeded. Equipped with anti-2-block safety device at the boom tip,

emergency stop buttons at both ends, and other integral visual and audi-

ble alarms, Maeda mini-cranes are equipped with safety features.

Tower crane utilization is critical on high-rise projects. The MC285

excels on job sites where the tower crane can’t reach, or is busy doing

other tasks for various contractors. Maeda’s versatile MC line also

includes the longer boom and capacity MC305 and MC405 which,

along with the MC285, have been used extensively to free up tower

cranes on busy job sites to do other work.

Crews using the MC’s can operate independently of the tower crane,

for such tasks as glass and curtain wall installation, setting rebar and

erecting steel. On this project, the tower crane could not reach the areas

that the curtain wall was being installed, so the MC285 was called in to

handle the task.

Maeda mini-cranes are in use daily throughout the western hemi-

sphere on a variety of projects, many in the high-rise commercial sector.

When the tower crane is busy or unavailable, Maeda mini-cranes are

often the cost effective and safe alternative to waiting for the tower

crane.

CRANE International

A compact design and powerful performance characteristics — this isthe combination that makes the AC all terrain crane series by Terex thebest choice when it comes to work sites with limited space. This was thecase when Wiesbauer GmbH & Co. KG erected a tower crane at a worksite in the Swabian town of Kornwestheim, Germany, a project forwhich the company used its brand new Terex AC 700 crane. TheBietigheim-Bissingen-based crane service provider carried out the proj-ect on behalf of the Mörfelden-Walldorf branch office of constructioncompany Trinac GmbH, which is building a new office building for theWüstenrot bank in Kornwestheim.

The decision to use the latest acquisition in Wiesbauer’s fleet for theproject was not only based on the AC 700 crane’s technical characteris-tics, but also on logistical considerations.

“We had the crane stationed at our headquarters in Bietigheim-Bissingen precisely at the right time, and Bietigheim-Bissingen is onlyan hour away from the work site in Kornwestheim,” said ThomasWiesbauer general manager, who manages the company together withhis brother Jochen.

This meant that traveling to the site with the AC 700 crane was rela-tively easy, requiring only the appropriate travel permit and what inGermany is referred to as a “BF-3 third-generation escort vehicle.” Inaddition, the unit was accompanied by an assist crane and four trucks.

Setup Time — Five HoursJust like the trip, setting up the AC 700 crane at the work site took a

short time: The seven-person Wiesbauer team, assisted by two Trinacemployees, required only five hours to do so despite the tight space con-ditions.

“Like every other Terex crane, this unit was clearly designed withease of assembly in mind, which is crucial to our abili-ty to deliver when it comes to short assembly and dis-assembly times. In addition, this ease of assembly alsoplays an important role in the outstanding cost effec-tiveness of the model, as it makes us more competi-tive,” said Jochen Wiesbauer, who speaks from experi-ence — the AC 700 crane he is talking about is the fifthcrane in the series in his company already.

Hook Height — 70 MetersIn order to reach the lifting height of up to 230 ft. (70

m) required to erect the tower crane, the Wiesbauerassembly technicians configured the Terex AC 700crane with an LF main boom extension measuring 86.6ft. (26.40 m), an SSL system with a 30 degree offset,and 110.23 tons (100 t) of counterweight. Once set upthis way, the AC 700 crane was prepared to lift all of thetower crane’s components.

These components included not only a large numberof relatively lightweight and compact mast sections,but also significantly more unwieldy elements, such asthe slewing unit, the two-piece jib, and the counter jib.

For example, the lift for the largest load, i.e., the 22.5 ton (20.5 t) slew-ing unit, required a hook height of 230 ft. and a radius of 78.74 ft. (24m). Meanwhile, jib unit 1 was slightly less heavy at exactly 22 tons (20t). However, its overall length of 131 ft. (40 m) made it much more dif-ficult to handle, requiring it to be perfectly balanced. The lift for this unitrequired a hook height of 230 ft. as well. In contrast, the hook heightwhen lifting jib section two was slightly lower at 216.53 ft. (66 m). Andalthough this 9.4 ton (8.5 t) component was considerably lighter than thefirst jib section, it was also longer at 148 ft. (45 m). In addition, the cor-responding lift was performed with a maximum radius of up to 131 ft.

“When lifting loads with these types of dimensions, it’s not enough tojust rely on the crane operator’s expert touch. You also need a crane withextraordinary precision. And with its easy-to-use and tremendouslyresponsive controls, the AC 700 proved to be the perfect machine for thejob,” said crane operator Günther Mühleck.

Project Duration — Five DaysThis was one of the important advantages that enabled the Wiesbauer

team to complete the job on schedule within the required time frame offive days, which included setting up and disassembling the AC 700crane.

“Of course, we’d already assumed that we wouldn’t be running intoany problems — after all, we know exactly what the Terex cranes in thisseries are capable of,” said Thomas Wiesbauer, who is more than satis-fied with the debut of his company’s latest acquisition.

Manitowoc has introduced a new Grove all-terrain crane for the glob-al market. As with other recent Grove launches, the crane offers uniqueinnovations and class-leading capabilities in the taxi (road travelling)category, according to the company.

The four-axle Grove GMK4100L-1’s load charts and its compactdesign makes it easy to access and maneuver on the narrowest of jobsites. The new 110-ton (100 t) capacity crane replaces the GMK4100Land is part of a new generation of Grove taxi cranes.

Grove was the first manufacturer to produce a 110-ton capacity craneon four axles when it introduced the GMK4100L. The newGMK4100L-1 has some notable improvements.

According to the manufacturer, the GMK4100L-1 offers the best loadcharts in this class in its maximum counterweight configuration, but alsoin its most common taxi configuration with a weight of less than 13.2tons (12 t) per axle — a common axle load limit in many countries.Compared with the GMK4100L, the new GMK4100L-1 delivers 6.9percent better load charts overall when in its 29-ton (26.2 t) maximumcounterweight configuration.

In the taxi configuration with a 7.4-ton (6.7 t) counterweight, theGMK4100L-1 has an increase of 9.3 percent improved performance,according to the company. It can be operated with the maximum road-able 22-ton (19.9 t) counterweight for up to 18 tons (16.5 t) per axle.

Customers in North America also will benefit from the crane’s fullyremovable counterweight — which reduces the basic crane’s gross vehi-cle weight to the lowest level in the four-axle category for a 110-ton ratedmachine with a 197 ft. (60 m) boom. Boosting the crane’s overall reachis a 59 ft. (18 m) telescopic swing-away jib, which can be extended withan 26 ft. (8 m) boom extension for atotal jib length of 85 ft. (26 m). Thetelescopic swing-away jib offers animproved offset of 0 to 45 degrees.

Jens Ennen, senior vice presidentall-terrain and truck-mounted cranes atManitowoc, said the new GMK4100L-1 is the result of improvements andinnovations developed at the factory inWilhelmshaven, Germany, where thecrane is built.

“We have focused strongly on bring-ing superior reliability, return on invest-ment, ease of transportation, user friendli-ness and capacity to this crane,” he said.“With class-leading load charts and specifica-tions, the new GMK4100L-1 is a highly mobilecrane that is suitable for use on job sites around theworld. The GMK4100L exceeded our expectationsin both performance and reliability so we are expect-ing the GMK4100L-1 to continue this tradition.”

The GMK4100L-1 is more compact than its prede-cessor, making it easier to access nar-

row job sites. With 14-in. (35.5 cm) tires, the crane has an 8.4 ft. (2.55m) width versus the 9 ft. (2.75 m) of the GMK4100L. Overall it also is1.6 ft. (0.5 m) shorter, making it more maneuverable on congested jobsites.

The GMK4100L-1 is powered by a single engine, reducing theweight of the crane and allowing it to carry more counterweight, whichimproves lifting ability. The Tier IV Final/EUROMOT 4 Mercedes-Benz OM470LA is a six-cylinder diesel engine with a 320 kW rating at1,700 rpm and a maximum torque of 2,100 Nm at 1,300 rpm. The cranealso is available with an equivalent Tier III engine. Better profitability forusers is available through the inclusion of the fuel saver function on theTier IV Final/EUROMOT 4 engine.

The GMK4100L-1 also has Manitowoc’s new crane control system(CCS) and the new boom configurator mode. The standardized CCS isa user-friendly interface that Manitowoc is featuring on all new cranemodels. The CCS components and operating software have been specif-ically designed, developed and tested by Manitowoc engineering andinnovation teams worldwide to ensure the highest reliability standards.The highly intuitive boom configurator mode makes it quick and easy toselect the optimum boom position for a specific lift, according to thecompany.

The operator inputs the lift parameters such as radius, load or boomlength to be moved and the system calculates the best boom configura-tion. Once the operator selects the preferred option, the boom automati-cally extends to the required length.

The look of the crane also has been improved with a facelift thatincludes a new ergonomic carrier cab. Trademark features such as theTWIN-LOCK boom pinning system, MEGAFORM boom shaping andMEGATRAK independent active suspension, are all included in the newGMK4100L-1.

Deliveries of the new GMK4100L-1 will start in quarter three 2016.For more information, visit www.manitowoccranes.com.

DICA has added a fourth patent to its SafetyTech outrigger pads. The

most recent U.S. patent, issued in February 2016 is for C- or U-shaped

TuffGrip handles used with any size or shape of SafetyTech pad.

“DICA’s SafetyTech products are designed to be strong and unbreak-

able, delivering the consistent engineered performance that our cus-

tomers and their crews rely on every day. We are very happy to have

received this new patent, which is reflective of the thinking, design and

engineering our team puts into every DICA product,” said Kris Koberg,

CEO.

The TuffGrip handle system was introduced in 2011

to help improve the long-term durability of DICA out-

rigger pad products and provide an increased level of

ergonomic safety for operators handling SafetyTech

outrigger pads, according to the company.

Handle length is a small but important example of the

innovative thinking in DICA’s TuffGrip handle design.

Handle length is specifically designed to encourage

proper lifting that requires bending and lifting with the

legs. The handle length also helps minimize trip hazards

on the job site and, when being carried, reduces the “flopping around”

of the pad common with excessively long handles, according to the com-

pany.

According to the manufacturer, recessed handles are a key innovation

on all round SafetyTech outrigger pads. The design allows for easy

rolling of larger pads, which reduces lifting stress and the potential for

back injuries. Lastly, the TuffGrip handle material itself is strong, yet

comfortable, engineered thermoplastic. It’s backed by DICA’s unbreak-

able guarantee and resistant to UV degradation and chem-

ical or water corrosion.

In addition to this newest United States patent, DICA

also holds two other United States patents and one

Canadian patent for the seating, insertion and anchorage

methods used for TuffGrip handles on various SafetyTech

products.

The first of these patents was received in 2013, and

additional patents are currently pending in both the United

States and Canada.
