DLB does 4,000lbs at 140ft.
May 16th, 2012

May 2012 – CR050 Linkbelt ATC3130 (130ton All-Terrain Crane) placing landscape materials on a new-build project in Shaughnessy Vancouver.

Crane lift plans were drawn up by the DLB Cranes Drafting/Engineering team showing crane placement and radius on the jobsite for crane safety and customer service. The general contractor required precise planning due to the extremely tight site conditions and the value of the homes the material was to be flown over.

These custom townhomes have a starting value of $6 million, so the confidence and satisfaction of the General Contractor and Project Owner were paramount to being awarded the job as well as leaving with a high level of customer satisfaction.

Our valued customer was extremely pleased with the effort put in to the planning stage of the work in order to satisfy the general safety requirements of the project and awarded DLB Cranes and teh project Team a “Double Thumbs Up”.

1,350t Liebherr crawler to build a river crossing for a cable car
March 27th, 2012

UK hire firm Weldex recently supplied a 1,350t Liebherr crawler to build a river crossing for a cable car line in East London.

Transport for London is installing the cable car line, called Emirates Air Line, as part of Mayor Boris Johnson’s regeneration plans. TFL has appointed Mace as the design, build and operate contractor.

Using the LR 11350, which previously erected 200ft tall wind turbines, Mace lifted the 68t pieces of tower sections, and placed them into the Thames river.

After constructing the North Intermediate Tower, the Mace is constructing the South Tower this week.
Mace called the LR 11350, which is configured with a reach of 120m and a height of 183m, the largest capacity crawler crane in the UK.

Weldex installed the LR 11350 over a two-week period, using a 300t services crane for incorporating the 16 main components, Mace said.
