On this sunny winter’s day in Saskatchewan, DLB Cranes was contracted to supply hoisting services after beating the local competitors by providing better quality site survey, lift plan, freight organization and execution.

CR046 Liebherr LTM1250 went out for the one day job, set all the modules and wrapped up for home before dark.

Safe and in control, our operations team managed this complicated project with confidence and precision – congrats on another job well done.

DLB Cranes to the rescue

It was a cold winter’s night and a MILLION DOLLAR piece of equipment was lying damaged in a frozen ditch.

With the help of a well-planned and professionally executed Critical Lift Plan, our Liebherr LTM1250 300ton All-terrain crane hoisted this Wind Turbine Nacelle from the road-side ditch with the assistance of three tow trucks and a telehandler.

With an excellent track record supported by PICS, IS Networld and CANQUAL (OH&S Auditors), our safe and efficient operations team brought finished up in the dark without incident.

This hard working lady is back at it – working hard in minus 30 degrees on frozen mud in the Canadian Prairies.

She has been put through her paces, as have the top-class crew of DLB Operating Engineers, being torn down before moved 4 miles and re-assembled in just 4 days. All that in very challenging weather!

LR1280 is available for rent – so be sure to click on to www.dlbcranes.com and check out our locations, contacts and fleet capacity.

Praise for DLB Cranes

Please convey to all your staff my appreciation for making the big lift on this project
in a most professional manner . Your 300 T Liebherr Crane is a work of art .

Jay and his crew:  as a few who are outside the business have said ” made it look easy! “.

The 65 T R/T is also a real pleasure to have on site, whether making a capacity lift of a 46,000 lb mixer from Germany ( the heart of our Paste Plant) : or reaching up with all boom out to put groceries on structure .

The DLB operator Chris is a real credit , not only to his employer as a keen opearator ; but also his parents who brought up a very decent young man .

CMI looks forward to more repeat business with DLB , after we are done with the 65Ton in late December.

Sincerely,
Terry Hendrickson
Wabowden, MB

Winning in Gleichen – Liebherr LTM 1250 and Demag CC1500

After being awarded this amazing project, we immediately began arranging for the freight and mobilization for two 300ton cranes.

All in all, it took only 4 days to get the hook in the air for our Gleichen customers.

After guaranteeing that we would work in whatever the absolute maximum allowable wind and weather limits were in place from the manufacturers and the Jurisdictional OH&S’s rule sand regulations to get this urgent project completed for our customer, we set to it with the following lifts:

.

DISTRIBUTOR LIFTS – AS PER DWG 00-063-T9 (#G202 – A)

Lift 1: 21,580lbs at 147 feet elevation from grade
Lift 2: 46,660lbs at 175 feet elevation from grade
Lift 3: 32,073lbs at 205 feet elevation from grade
Lift 4: 22,179lbs at 227 feet elevation from grade
Lift 5: 26,265lbs at 246 feet elevation from grade
Lift 6: 10,645lbs at 263 feet elevation from grade

CC1500 and LTM1250 get working on the steel erection portion of this grain elevator.

After the framing went up, the machinery followed. We were complete on schedule and experienced no delays. Our machinery worked as requested and kept feeding the workers.
Withing three weeks of arriving , and after two weeks working on site, we were gone and onto the next project.

DLB Cranes is the Hoist Solution.

Lifting 87,000lb bridge girders with the Terex-Demag CC1500 in Ft McMurray, Alberta
Back in Ft Mc – This time with our Demag CC1500

DLB Cranes is back in Fort McMurray supporting a couple of our preferred customers with our top-quality cranes, top-quality operators and mechanics & support staff. DLB supplied the 2004 Terex-Demag CC1500 (330)ton hydraulic lattice boom crawler along with specialized rigging, tongs, engineered drawings and heavy-lift supervision and will be there for the duration of this project.

We mobilized to the job site from Gleichen, Southern Alberta and had the hook in the air just 3 days later. Modern machinery and skilled ground staff can make these savings happen. We have 276′ of main boom available for this crane along with 118′ of luffing jib making this a very versatile unit with many configurations available.

If you have a heavy-lift package coming up, feel free to approach us for a no-fee consult.

We are your Hoist Solution.
