Grove mobile cranes help steady the
ship in Florida
Two Grove cranes were
central to a smooth barge offload at an industrial facility near St.
Petersburg, Fla. The two Grove cranes belong to Crane Rental Corp. based
in Orlando, Fla.
The two cranes on the project were an RT875E rough-terrain crane and a
GMK5240 (known as the GMK5200 outside the US). The GMK5240's role on the
job was to ensure the barge remained stable while two 500,000-pound
generators were unloaded. The RT875E provided equipment for the ballast
crew on the barge including welding equipment and water pumps. It also
placed Crane Rental Corp.'s 40-foot barge ramp between the barge and the
edge of the dock.
Jeff Fisher, project manager at Crane Rental Corp., said each Grove
crane had a specific task and both performed well.
"We used the Grove GMK5240 as a deadman to steady the barge during the
offload while the RT875E loaded equipment for the ballast crew," he
said. "Moving any heavy load from water to land requires close control
and detailed planning. Our Grove cranes performed very well and gave us
the precision control we needed. Our crew was well-briefed ahead of the
job and their focus on safety and correct procedures ensured the job ran
smoothly."
The unloading process took less than a day to complete.
The RT875E is a 75-ton crane with a four-section 128-foot main boom,
featuring Megaform shaping for additional strength. Tip height can reach
232 feet with the addition of jib sections. The crane has improved
operator comfort and visibility through its E-Series cab, which can tilt
to 20 degrees.
The GMK5240 has a rating of 240 tons. It has a main boom that can extend
to 197 feet while extensions offer increased reach of up to 125 feet.
The crane can accommodate up to 154,300 pounds of counterweight and
among its other benefits is Grove's Megatrak independent suspension
system for greater ground clearance.
