I wanted to show you guys one of things we're building right now. I invested in subarc equipment last year and we've ended up building a lot of cranes - biggest to date is this 30T 115' double box girder. Waiting for permits for shipping....I will take some photos of that operation. Finger crossed we're not like the guy who makes a canoe in his basement and it won't go up the stairs.
We've a bigger one on the books for later this year, not as long but a lot heavier. actually two of them. The do make for nice show and tell but take up a lot of space.....trick is a speedy in and out, but there's fair bit of complexity. Miss making/procuring one thing and there goes the speedy part and because they are all custom, stuff like that seems to happen.
I'm just the semi clueless guy who put all resource together - I've the utmost respect for skilled guys on the team making this stuff
putting the girders together
The top plate is 1"....the stuff was flopping around like a wet noodle from the lift....you can sort of see it here. Before welding on the last side - do a head count
flipping it - thats a 40Y roll off container the back ground, gives a sense of scale
just painted and working on the electrical...girders for a smaller crane beside it
built up trolley
