Boom Trucks
A boom truck is a type of vehicle most of us have had the opportunity to encounter in our everyday lives. It has an extendable boom attached to its roof that often has a bucket-like element at its end. Workers often use it to get to the top of a building or a pole, such as phone and electrical poles, and its design allows them to work from within the bucket-like platform. The vehicle typically has a lifting capacity of 350 up to 1500 pounds, and the boom length up to 34 feet in the air. Its lifting system is hydraulic, and the more you extend the boom, the less it can carry. The lifting system, along with the bucket-like platform, is referred to as “cherry picker”, because it was first used for picking fruit from the branches that otherwise couldn’t be reached. Today it’s used in various fields of work, including mining, painting and window cleaning. Sometimes even fire trucks have a cherry picker instead of a ladder. Boom trucks are available for rent, and there are many companies whose offer includes a wide range of lift capacities, from 17 to 35 tons, as well as a working height up to over 150 feet. The rates can be calculated on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The equipment should be reserved in advance, but even if you are looking for a short notice rental, there are companies that will be able to deliver. Apart from equipment rental, many companies sell spare parts, offer inspection and maintenance services, as well as safety instructions. Some of them have boom trucks specially designed for quiet operation, suitable for use in urban projects.
Rough Terrain Crane
How do you think rough terrain crane got its name? It’s pretty obvious, right? It is a type of crane used on construction sites that are remote and difficult to navigate, or in other words - “rough”. Its main purpose is lifting and moving heavy loads. The crane itself is a part of the machine that’s placed on an undercarriage that has four rubber tires. Its telescopic boom with various extensions gives it a great lift capacity. It is designed mainly for large-scale projects, bridge construction and operations in plants and refineries. Many companies that specialize in heavy equipment offer rough terrain crane rental. When renting, you should first call the company to get an estimate on price and the type of the crane needed for the work you want to get done. The lift capacity of the cranes most companies offer as part of their rental inventory ranges from 15 up to 90 tons. There are many different types available, so here’s an example that might help you find what you’re looking for. Link-Belt RTC8060 Rough Terrain Crane is one of the best cranes available for rent. Its maximum lift capacity is 60 ton, and the telescopic boom’s maximum length is 110 feet. Extensions can be incorporated to make the tip height 172 feet long. Because of its Confined Area Lifting Capacity system, it’s very effective when it comes to working in smaller, narrow places. It has an “A-max” boom mode that enables greater precision in operating the boom, as well as a boom stiffening system called BOSS. All in all, this rough terrain crane is an excellent choice considering its great power, reliability and flexibility.
Grues Hydrauliques
Bien que de conception simple, les grues hydrauliques peuvent soulever des quantités massives de poids. Elles sont utilisées à l'élevage des poutre des ponts sur les routes, machinerie lourde et les équipements dans les usines et même des épaulards lors de leurs transfert à d'autres endroits. Il est difficile de comprendre combien la grue soulève en poids quand vous l'observez en cours de travail - et elle fonctionne habituellement avec un objet qui pèse plusieurs tonnes. Les camions-grues peuvent varier dans leurs capacités de levage mais il est assez facile de déterminer la puissance de levage d'une seule grue - une grue de 50 tonnes peut lever 50 tonnes courtes. Alors comment ça fonctionne? La grue hydraulique fonctionne sur les simples principes hydrauliques - la transmission de force par fluide. La plus part des grues hydrauliques utilisent un fluide incompressible (un fluide le plus dense qu'il peut l'être), de l'huile plus communément. Dans un système hydraulique le plus basique, un piston pousse le liquide vers le bas et le liquide transmet cette force à un autre piston qui est entraîné vers le haut. Il y a une pompe hydraulique qui est responsable de créer de la pression pour faire bouger les pistons. La plus part des grues hydrauliques utilisent une pompe à deux vitesses pour que quand la pression a besoin d'être plus importante pour plus de puissance, l'opérateur pousse un accélérateur pour faire marcher la pompe à une plus grande vitesse. Il est assez facile de louer une grue hydraulique pour vos besoins personnels. Les grues hydrauliques mobiles modernes peuvent lever et faire bouger des centaines de tonnes à une hauteur de plus de quartantes histoires. Il y a plusieurs sociétés qui travaillent dans le domaine de location des grues qui louent des grues hydrauliques et des camions-grues hydrauliques. Lors de la location d'une grue hydraulique, plusieurs sociétés vont aussi offrir le service d'un opérateur de grue, car l'utilisation d'une grue sans qualifications peut entrainer à des pertes ou des blessures.
Bridge Building Equipment
The construction of bridges is a complex and highly technical process. Due to the overwhelming size and weight of the materials used, the design of a bridge can only be carried out using special equipment. In this article, we will have a quick look on some of the equipment used in bridge building and their respective usages. Despite the perception that it is old-fashioned, the derrick continues to be widely used in bridge building. It has a tripod structure which is lightweight and extremely simple to operate. It is used for lifting heavy materials and equipment. Similar to a crane, it has a line that runs down to the bottom and has a hook at the end. The derrick can be mounted into the ground, or on some other vessel, in which case it is called a floating derrick. Mobile cranes are very useful in building small bridges, or those made from steel. For example, most motorway bridges were built by a mobile crane. Hydraulic cranes are another popular tool for bridge building. They have the advantage of being able to lift massive amounts of weight and they come in various sizes. They use the power of hydraulics to make lifts. A popular variant of these is the truck hydraulic crane which is conveniently mobile. A beam launcher is used for managing concrete beams for bridges that are built above water or roads. The two most popular types of beam launchers are single box and twin-truss. The former is lightweight and used to position already existing beams onto tight alignments. The latter is widely used for construction large scale bridges. These are just a few examples of equipment widely used in bridge building. The exact equipment for a certain project will, of course, vary according to the project itself.
Heavy Machinery Rigging
Rigging is a method you'll mostly see on construction sites, ships and oil rigs. It's a way of moving extremely heavy loads using all sorts of different tools, such as wedges, rollers, ply bars, straps and jacks. With this method, you can lift, pull, push and hoist loads. Lifting and hoisting should not be confused because they require different equipment, and while in both cases the object is being lifted from the ground, hoisting means doing it from above, and lifting from below. Choosing the right equipment for the rigging process is very important because it will affect the results depending on the following issues: - Is the equipment suitable for the type of load you're dealing with? - Is it the right tool for the type of work that will be done (lifting, pulling, pushing or hoisting)? - Can it be used safely in the given surroundings? As you can see, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration in order to do the rigging properly, but there are quite a few rigging service companies that will make it a lot easier for you. They specialize in moving heavy loads and machinery, and they do it efficiently and safely, using equipment that meets the required standards. Most of them offer a complete service that, apart from the work itself, includes project consulting and testing as well. If you’re looking for equipment rental only, there are many companies that will be able to deliver it during the next 24 hours, depending on your location and the availability of the equipment.
Crane Setup & Rigging
Tower cranes are one of the most common sights at construction areas. They are used to lift extremely heavy concrete or steel materials, or some other equipment. When a tower crane arrives at a sight, it is brought in by huge tractor-trailer rigs, and it is dismantled into parts. The crane itself is brought together on the spot. But, before the crane itself can be put together, the crew has to insure the conditions for its stability. Have you ever wondered how such large cranes manage to stay upright without the help of any support wires? The answer is simple – concrete pads. Several weeks before the crane itself arrives, the construction company has to pour out a massive concrete pad. This pad ensures that the crane will not tip over, or be unstable in any way. These pads are typically 30 by 30 by 4 feet. It is important that they are big so that the crane is firmly ‘rooted’ into the ground. Their usual weight is 400,000 pounds. The company also embeds large anchor bolts into the concrete pad to support the base of the crane. When the crane arrives, it is assembled using a smaller mobile crane. First the jib and the machinery sections are set in place, and then they are placed on a mast. Counterweights are added, and after that the crane can continue to build itself by adding mast sections. Once the building project is done, the whole process is reversed – the crane disassembles the additional pieces of the mast, until there are (usually) only two left, and then a smaller mobile crane takes care of the rest. The pieces of the tower crane are placed onto rigs and returned to their storage space.
Crane Rental
Cranes are one of the most common things people need when doing construction work. They can be rented to lift, lower and move heavy objects horizontally. Many companies which specialize in heavy equipment have crane rental included in their offer. When renting a crane, you will need to give the company some information. It will inquire about the type of work that you want done, so there are several issues that will require your attention when renting a crane. - You'll need to know the weight and dimensions of the object you plan to lift. - What rigging method will be used and how the crane will be attached to the object. - You'll need to check the site for possible obstacles, such as trees, underground utilities, overhead wired and soil problems. - If the site where the crane will be used is on a public property, permission to use it will have to be acquired. - Some larger machines need travel permits for certain areas, so in order to make the necessary arrangements ahead of time, you'll need to find out if the permit is required for traveling to your site. Most companies are flexible and will take short notice orders if the proper equipment is available, but if you want to be on the safe side, you should place your order days, or even weeks before you’d like to start with the work. With most rental companies, you’ll be able to choose from an array of different types of cranes, and because they come with different sizes of hooks, shackles, web slings and wire rope slings, a suitable one can be found for almost every type of lifting work.
Grues à Tour
Les grues à Tours sont l'un des sites les plus courants dans les chantiers. Elles sont utilisées pour lever des matériaux en béton ou en acier extrêmement lourds, ou d'autres équipements. Quand une grue à tour arrive à un chantier, elle portée par d'énormes plateformes semi-remorques et elle est démontée en pièces. La grue elle même est réunie sur place. Mais, avant que la grue soit montée, l'équipe doit assurer les conditions pour sa stabilité. Avez vous déjà pensé comment ses grues peuvent rester debout sans l'aide d'aucun câble? La réponse est simple - des dalles en béton. Quelques semaines avant que la grue arrive elle même, la société de construction doit verser une dalle en béton massif. cette dalle assure que la grue ne bascule pas ou qu'elle ne soit pas instable d'aucune manière. Ces dalles sont typiquement 30 par 30 par 4 pieds. Il est important qu'elles soient grandes pour que la grue "enracinées" fermement dans le sol. Leur poids habituel est de 400,000 livres. La société intègre aussi de larges boulons d'ancrage dans la dalle en béton pour soutenir la base de la grue. Quand la grue arrive, elle est assemblée en utilisant une plus petite grue mobile. Tout d'abord le foc et les sections de machinerie sont placés sur le mât. Les contre-poids sont ajoutés et après cela la grue peut continuer à se construire en ajoutant des sections de mât. Une foi le projet de construction est terminé, le processus en entier est reversé - la grue démonte les pièces de mât en plus jusqu'à ce qu'il y est (généralement) seulement deux, et alors une plus petite grue mobile s'occupe du reste. Les pièces de la grue à tour sont placés sur des plate-formes et renvoyée à son espace de stockage.
Tower Cranes
At any major construction site, the one thing you can always notice is a tower crane. They often rise hundreds of feet into the air and are pretty hard to miss. These types of cranes are used to lift steel or concrete materials, large tools and machinery, and a wide range of other building accessories. All tower cranes basically consist of the same parts. These are: - a base which supports the crane and is usually bolted to a huge concrete pad - a mast or tower - a slewing unit which allows the crane to rotate - a working arm or jib which carries the load and moves it via a trolley which goes along the jib - a machinery arm which supports huge concrete weights which counter the weight lifted - the operators cabin Typically, a tower crane can reach up to 265 feet and lift 18 metric tons. There are many switches and lights in the operators cabin that make sure that they won’t put too much burden on the crane, risking damages and loss of life. Now, you might have noticed that cranes usually get taller as the building rises. This is done by using a mobile crane to assemble the jib. It puts the horizontal parts onto a 40 foot mast, and after that, the mobile crane also adds counterweights. The mast has a triangular structure, which makes it stable and powerful enough to remain upright. To grow to its maximum height, the crane uses a climbing frame and builds itself section by section. Once the building is done, the process is reversed. The crane disassembles the mast, and the smaller cranes disassemble the remaining parts.
Hydraulic Cranes
Although simple in design, hydraulic cranes can lift massive amounts of weight. They are used in raising bridge beams on roads, heavy machinery or equipment in factories, and even killer whales when they are transferred to other locations. It is difficult to comprehend just how much weight the crane is lifting when you’re observing it work – and it usually works with object that weigh several tons. Hydraulic truck cranes can vary in their lifting capabilities, but it is fairly easy to determine a single crane’s lifting power – a 50-ton crane can lift 50 short tons. So how does it work?
The hydraulic crane functions on the simple principle of hydraulics – the transmission of force by fluid. Most hydraulic cranes use an incompressible fluid (a fluid that is as dense as it can be), most commonly oil. In a most basic hydraulic system, a piston pushes the liquid down, and the liquid transmits this force to another piston, which is driven up. There is a hydraulic pump which is responsible for creating pressure to move the pistons. Most hydraulic cranes use a two-gear pump, so that when the pressure needs to be bigger for more power, the operator pushes a throttle to run the pump at a greater speed.
It is fairly easy to rent a hydraulic crane for your personal needs. Modern mobile hydraulic cranes can lift and move hundreds of tons to a height of over forty stories. There are lots of companies dealing in crane rentals which offer both hydraulic crane rentals and hydraulic truck cranes. When renting a hydraulic crane many companies will also offer the service of a crane operator, seeing as operating a crane without qualifications can result in loss or injury.
Bridge Construction
There are many types of bridges: beams, suspensions, arches, cable stayed, cantilevers etc. They are all of great importance for the development of infrastructure. Because of the difference in span and various site restrictions, each bridge has its own unique requirements. That's why there isn't a single method for bridge construction, although we can say that there are a few fundamental techniques that are typically used. - The first is falsework or staging. It consists of building structures that are used as a support for the construction itself. The structures are removed during the advanced phases of construction when they are no longer needed. - Span-by-span is the second typically used technique. This method is often applied in constructing long bridges with limited access from below and is considered to be the most effective technique for this type of construction work. It enables creating one span at a time. Starting from one end, structural elements are made and placed between the supporting structures. - Full span erection is the third fundamental technique. It involves constructing spans before they are transported to the building site, where they are then installed between the supporting structures. It is often applied when the structure that is being built consists of multiple spans with similar lengths and minimum curvature. - The fourth main method is called balanced cantilever. It can be done using launching gantry, lifting frames and cranes. First a supporting pier is made. The bridge is then constructed in both directions until the completion of the whole span.
Steel Erection
Very large structures require steel framing, or forming the basic shape of the building by using steel supports. It is done to ensure the safety and integrity of the building. The basic frame is made of steel girders, beams and pipework. Steel erection is the process of assembling steel components on the building site. It can be divided into four main steps. - The first one is checking the safety of the foundations. If they are found to be safe and suitable for steel erection, the construction itself can begin. - The second step consists of lifting the steel components and placing them into position. It is mostly done using either tower cranes or jacking. During this phase of steel erection, bolted connections are made in order to secure the components in place, although they are left untightened. When suitable bolted connection isn't possible, site welding is used instead. - The third step is aligning the structure. The engineer uses a survey instrument to check the acceptability of the structure, and if he finds corrections necessary, the construction workers make adjustments using wedges, pull-lifts, jacks and other pulling devices. - The final step in the process of steel erection is bolting-up. The bolted connections are fully tightened, which makes the whole frame secured and the steel erection process completed. During the construction process, scaffolds and supports are added so that the other components can be moved. The success of the steel erection process depends on the decisions made before it even starts, which are a part of the process of designing the building.
