A s a teenager, I spent many summer days sunbathing in my
backyard drenched in baby oil. Today I’m more likely to be
slathering on sunscreen and wearing a hat and sunglasses.
Our fascination with tanning may have begun with the in-
vention of the bikini in 1946, later instilled in our social conscience
by the blond haired Coppertone girl and her cocker spaniel. It’s hard
to believe it was as recently as the 1990s when we first started hearing
in earnest from dermatologists about how damaging the sun is to our
skin. Terms like melanoma, SPF, and ultraviolet (UV) rays are now
part of our common vocabulary.
This awareness transcends health and ventures into the world of safety. In 2003 the Web
Sling and Tie Down Association (WSTDA) released test results showing UV degradation on
synthetic web slings. According to the WSTDA, web slings can lose up to 40 percent of their
strength when exposed to the sun for just 16 months. Recommendations for prevention are
incorporated into the 2004 document “Recommended Standard Specification for Synthetic
Web Slings.” The standard cautions that degradation can take place without visible indications,
although some tip-offs include bleaching, stiffness, and abrasion. It identifies factors that affect
the degree of loss and suggests ways to reduce the sun’s effect on slings.
In February, the Technical Committee of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators (AWRF)
voted to consider doing similar testing on synthetic round slings. The key difference here is that
the core yarns that make up the load-bearing portion of a round sling are protected by an outer
cover. Those covers come in a variety of colors and transparencies. The question has been
raised whether some covers protect better than others.
At press time, the project was in the hands of the Round
Sling Subcommittee and the scope and methodology of
the testing were not yet determined.
In talking with a number of interested parties, it
seems the topic may not be as straightforward as it first
appears, but it is sure to be one of much debate in the
coming months and years. While I don’t pretend to be an
engineer or scientist, it only takes common sense to know that the sun does impact the viability
of synthetic slings, just as it does our skin. Which types of fibers and to what degree in a given
period are among the questions yet to be answered.
In the meantime, look to existing research to guide your inspections of synthetic slings.
Go to the Products/Standards section at www.wstda.com to purchase the UV Degradation
Report and the standard mentioned previously. Likewise, ASME B30.9 may be useful as well as
information from manufacturers of synthetic slings. Look for additional discussion about this
in the Guest Perspectives this month on pages 14 and 15.
Just as Australia continues its National Skin Cancer Awareness Campaign to combat the
statistic that it has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world, awareness is also essential
to the safety of sling users. Greater study can only lead to a better understanding of the issue as
well as improved use and inspection of synthetic slings. I applaud these industry organizations
for delving more deeply into these issues.
And since construction workers spend so much of their time outdoors, I also want to men-
tion that this month is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month. It may not have a direct cor-
relation to cranes and rigging, but a reminder to workers to take precautions to protect their
skin is a worthy topic for your next safety meeting.

Two Potain tower cranes have stood over the site of the newest residence
hall at the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga., for nearly a year now.
Both were rented from AmQuip by Atlanta, Ga.-based Juneau Construction
Company, LLC. The 22-ton Potain MD 485 B M20 and the 12-ton MDT 308 were
used throughout construction, performing steel erection and installing precast
spandrel panels and precast bands around the building’s exterior.
Plans fi rst called for positioning the 485 in the middle of the building. “But
we’re so close to the Interstate, there’s an exit ramp behind the project. The
boom was going to be out over that ramp, and the State Department of Trans-
portation wouldn’t allow us to do that. We had to go with a secondary crane,”
explained Eric Kerley, Juneau’s vice president.
At press time the MDT 308 had been taken down, and the MD 485 was to
remain on site until mid-summer. Kerley was happy to report both cranes have
performed as expected on the project.
Badger Equipment Co., Winona,
Minn., continues to deliver on or-
ders for its cab-down style rough-ter-
rain cranes. After re-entering the crane
market last summer, the Manitex Inter-
national division recently delivered 30-
ton CD4430Rs to Amtrak, and a 20-ton
CD4420 to Contractors Crane Co. Inc.,
Houston, Texas, for work in refi nery
and petrochemical applications.
Amtrak took delivery of three CD4430R
machines outfi tted with Badger’s hi-rail gear
for work as lifting cranes as well as rail thread-
er machines in maintaining tracks. Specially
painted and equipped with Cummins Tier
III engines, the cranes have all-wheel drive,
all-wheel steer, six-sided two-section booms
with auxiliary winch and roomy two-door
cabs with air conditioning, rear-view cam-
eras, and full glass protection. Th e cranes also
have wider rims, wider friction rail drives, and
wider fenders.
Contractors Crane Co. has scheduled
open houses in both Houston and Baton
Rouge, La., promoting these cab-down RTs
as the fi rst new cranes of this kind to enter
the refi nery and petrochemical markets in
many years.
In related news, Manitex International,
Bridgeview, Ill., has received new orders of
about $5 million for the company’s boom
truck cranes. “Th e new crane orders are split
among three of the top growth areas that
we’ve been pursuing, namely international
distribution, independent rental fl eets, and
the energy support sector,” said Scott Rolston,
senior vice president, sales and marketing.

Terex Cranes, Zweibrucken, Germany, has
introduced the AC 100/4L all-terrain
crane, featuring a 195-foot main boom,
and optimized for a broad range of applica-
tions. With its variable extension system,
the 110-ton AT reaches a maximum system
length of 268 feet. According to Terex, the
crane sets a new standard by combining
capacity with standard truck dimensions in
an 8-foot width when equipped with large
445/95R25 tires.
With a 62-foot double fl y jib added the
lift height is 257 feet. According to the
company, this is the longest system length
traveling on four axles with an axle load of
13 tons or less. The crane’s maximum sys-
tem length is 268 feet. Customers want both
compactness and long system lengths, said
Thomas Hartmann, sales director for Terex
Cranes. “With the AC 100/4L we have a
crane that is easy to operate and meets our
customers’ demands,” he added.
The AT is equipped with a variable system
for extending its main boom. The double fl y
jib can be mounted directly on the telescop-
ic boom or on an additional 26-foot exten-
sion installed between the telescopic boom
and the double fl y jib. The system makes
for fast rigging, as the double fl y jib can be
transported within a 13-ton axle load.
Terex Introduces Long-Boom AT
Cranes in Action
To help dealers better manage their wholesale purchasing and retail sales initiatives, GE
Capital, Norwalk, Conn., has grouped its construction equipment off erings and named
Kristi Webb commercial leader of the company’s Equipment Finance business.
“Low activity levels in the construction sector have created cash-fl ow pressures for dealers
and end users,” said Webb. “Our wholesale options allow capital-savvy dealers to stock equip-
ment without draining their own cash positions. Our retail leases and loans, including our in-
novative rebate lease, help dealers provide aff ordable off erings to customers who are also con-
cerned about fi nancing their purchases.”
GE Capital is making a signifi cant investment in technology that will provide speedy deci-
sions on credit applications, easy document preparation and same-day funding decisions for
retail lease and loan transactions, according to the company.

U.S. construction equipment exports
dropped more than 38 percent in 2009,
totaling $12.8 billion worth of machinery that
was shipped to other countries, according to
the Association of Equipment Manufacturers
(AEM). Overall, however, quarter-to-quarter
declines steadily improved, ending with a
fourth-quarter gain of 26 percent.
Declines of between nearly 30 to 50 per-
cent for major world regions were marked.
South and Central America, as well as Asia,
were among those seeing the smallest de-
clines. AEM consolidates U.S. Commerce
Department data for off-road equipment
with other sources into quarterly export
trend reports.
“Exports have literally been a lifeline for
the construction equipment industry, which
saw U.S. business plummet more than 40
percent last year and unemployment soar to
more than double the national average,” stat-
ed AEM President Dennis Slater. “Global trade
has been a signifi cant source of industry ex-
pansion in recent years, and many economies
are now rebounding faster than the U.S.”
Export sales to South America declined
29 percent in 2009 for a total of $2.4 billion
compared to 2008. Central America took de-
livery of $1.3 billion worth of U.S. construc-
tion equipment, a 34-percent decrease, and
exports to Asia dropped 35 percent in 2009,
for a total of $2 billion. For a snapshot of the
U.S. used equipment export front, check out

The Unseen EnemyBy Dennis St. Germain Jr.
I n 1989, a presentation was made on our new synthetic high
performance Twin-Path® slings to a rigging group at a ship-
yard in St. John, New Brunswick. Their facility was located
adjacent to the Bay of Fundy. To make heavy lifts the ship-
yard had been using a set of four-inch diameter by 90-foot-long
wire rope slings. Because these slings were so heavy and awkward
to handle, they were stored outdoors beside the dry dock and
subjected to cold, heat, salt air, and rain. After only two years the
wire rope slings had to be replaced due to the corrosive effects of
the environment.
The benefits of the High Performance Twin-Path slings were
explained to the riggers, including lighter weight and ease of
handling. Surprisingly, the riggers identified a benefit we did
not consider. Because of their light weight, these slings could be
stored inside rather than subjected to the debilitating effects of
weather. Ultimately, the shipyard purchased these slings, which
lasted 15 years.
The UV connection It is a fact that corrosion of steel from exposure can be slowed
by various methods like painting, galvanizing, plating, and covering
with heavy grease, but nonetheless, many accidents have occurred
because the hidden damage was not identified by normal inspec-
tion. Synthetic materials used for running ropes and slings are not
subject to hidden damage from rust and corrosion, but they are
weakened in much the same way by exposure to ultraviolet (UV)
light. Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than violet light,
and is not visible to the human
eye. UV light degrades synthet-
ics by transferring energy into
the fibers. This energy can cause
damage by breaking down the
molecular bonds in a fiber’s structure.
The main source of UV light is the sun, but some UV light is
also created by welding arcs, fluorescent lighting, and Xenon light,
which is now used in automobiles as a brighter headlamp. Gener-
ally, darker colors provide better UV resistance than lighter colors.
Thicker materials resist UV light better than thinner. Additionally,
thicker materials allow the surface to suffer UV degradation while
retaining strength in the inner core material.
A research study by the Web Sling and Tie Down Association
published in 2003 confirmed what industry experts already sus-
pected. (See charts below.) Long-term UV exposure reduces the
breaking strength of web slings. Polyester web slings lost up to 30
percent of their strength during the first 12 months of exposure,
after which the strength loss leveled off. Nylon web slings showed
a strength loss of up to 50-60 percent after 36 months of exposure
with no indication of leveling off. This report is available for pur-
chase at www.wstda.com. The important question is this: Should
web slings be given a maximum life expectancy like the five-year
shelf life of synthetic fall protection gear?
Educating the inspector The other most common synthetic sling is called a roundsling.
These products have a strength bearing core inside a protective
cover or jacket. It has always been assumed that the roundsling
cover, no matter the thickness or color, protected the load bearing
core from UV degradation. Only recently has it been discovered
that there is a wide variance in the UV protection levels provided

In Light of It AllBy Linda Summars
M y brother and I are slingmakers. Our father was a
slingmaker. Now my son is also, and I’m instilling in
him the same message I heard my daddy tell many
riggers: “Men’s lives depend upon the quality of our
slings.” So, although, I am very proud to be the inventor of The
Inspectable Roundsling, the idea is rooted in his passion for a
better and safer product.
As part of our product development, the transparent cover
technology used in The Inspectable Roundsling endured a test
in August 2008 to compare the potential for UV degradation of
the load bearing core yarns to those of both polyester and nylon
opaque covers. For the test, FIRST Sling Technology provided the
Inspectable Roundsling technology, Filtec Precise Inc. provided the
core yarns and break testing, and Murdock Webbing provided the
jackets and Xenon Arc machine for exposure testing. Textile engi-
neers had no doubt that the transparent jacket would offer equal
protection from ultraviolet light, but good companies test their
own products in support of their claims.
Testing was done to 100 and
500 Xenon Arc Hours, respec-
tively. Note that 500 simulated
UV hours equates to years of
service in natural exposure. All
reductions in breaking strength
were within the average unex-
posed yarn break range. Re-
sults confirm that a transparent
cover provides protection equal to that of opaque polyester and
nylon covers. Charts outlining those results are shown below.
For a copy of the scope, methods, and other details, contact me
directly for information.
What the standards say When discussing the sun’s effect on synthetic slings, it’s im-
portant to know what the standards have to say about it. In its
most recently published version, ASME B30.9-2006 Slings has
three chapters that address synthetic slings. Chapter 4 is dedicat-
ed to Rope Slings, Chapter 5 to Webbing Slings, and Chapter 6
to Roundslings. Both Chapters 4 and 5 address sunlight and UV,
but Chapter 6 is silent on the issue. Why? Because roundslings
are the “baby” of slings. Until 2003, B30.9 Chapter 6 Roundslings
did not even exist!
Notice in these excerpts from Chapters 4 and 5 that the exact
same UV statement is made for both synthetic rope and web-
bing slings.

by different roundsling covers. Testing has found that while some
covers provide adequate protection, others do not. Since ultraviolet
light can cause loss of strength to synthetic fibers and is essen-
tially hidden damage similar to the corrosion of steel, the inspector
needs education to recognize the issues.
The chart above displays test results of UV degradation to vari-
ous roundsling cores and covers used by riggers around the world.
This testing was requested by Slingmax Rigging Solutions and
conducted independently by Murdock Webbing Co. in the Unit-
ed States and DSM in The Netherlands. Murdock Webbing per-
formed UV testing and residual strength testing was done by DSM
Dyneema®. Despite being much more expensive than our initial
“flashlight testing,” it shows the same basic results. (In our initial
test, a high powered flashlight was placed behind the double-wall
of all popular colors used in roundslings to determine which colors
were to be used in additional testing.) The field test of any cover
may be quite simple. If you hold a flashlight against the cover and
do not see light shining through the other side, it’s a good sign.
A study of the chart above shows the vast difference in protec-
tion afforded by various types of roundsling covers. The dark
green Covermax® is much thicker than other roundsling covers
and therefore, the loss of the sling’s core strength is negligible.
Roundslings protected by the thinner lighter colored covers lost
the most core strength.
Several important lessons were learned from this testing:
1) Most roundsling core fibers show no visible indications of
damage after their 500 hours of UV exposure in the Xenon weath-
ering machine. (See photo below left.)
2) When opaque covers show fading it is a sure indicator of UV
degradation to the core fiber. (See photo below right.)
3) High molecular Polyethylene (HMPE) fibers show more resis-
tance to UV degradation than polyester fibers.
4) However, some high-performance fibers, such as Aramids,
are more adversely affected by UV.
In general, stiff and/or faded covers are an indication of UV
degradation. If a colored sling is faded beyond color recognition:
remove it from service. The odds are you have at least a 30 per-
cent loss of ultimate strength. The next
question is this: Is there a mechani-
cal way to determine “hidden” UV
damage in a roundsling? The an-
swer is yes. On February 16,
2010, the United States
issued a patent to Sling-
max Rigging Solutions
(US #7,661,737) for a
pre-failure warning indica-
tion system for all roundslings. It’s called the Check-Fast® inspec-
tion system. The following is a brief explanation of how it works.
Every roundsling is made up of multiple wraps of the same
strand of fiber. A roundsling made with the Check-Fast inspection
system adds an extra wrap called a “sacrificial strand.” The ends
of this independent strand are equally tensioned among the other
load bearing core yarns via a “weak link.” The weak link material
has a calculated lower breaking strength than the core yarn mate-
rial, and it degrades faster when exposed to ultraviolet light. When
the sling is exposed to severe overload or UV damage, the weak
link breaks first, well before the remaining strands reach their
failure point. Finally, a colored External Warning Indicator (EWI)
strand is attached to the weak link and will disappear inside the
sling cover when the weak link fails. In addition to the visible in-
dications, this EWI is what the rigger looks
for upon each inspection.
If you see this indicator yarn and there
is no other cover damage, it is a GO! If the
roundsling is subjected to severe overload
when tensioned, or in this case, severe UV
deterioration, the weak link breaks and
whips the indicator strand inside the cover
so fast it makes an audible POP sound—
definitely a NO-GO!

Chapter 5 Synthetic Webbing Slings, section 9-5.8.3 Sun-
light and Ultraviolet Light: The strength of synthetic webbing
slings is degraded by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light. The
sling manufacturer or qualified person should be consulted for
additional retirement or inspection requirements. For additional
degradation information, see WSTDA-UV-Sling 2003. (WSTDA-
UV-Sling 2003 is a Web Sling and Tie Down Association publica-
tion found at www.wstda.com).
Note that testing done by these associations may provide ad-
ditional useful information. Meanwhile, the Technical Commit-
tee of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators voted in February
to develop a plan to test the effects of UV on roundslings. The
member request stated, “Currently there are cover questions as
to what color, thickness and weave effectively protects the inter-
nal core yarn from ultra violet light damage.” WSTDA will most
likely consider additional UV testing also.
Likewise, the standards acknowledge what the industry al-
ready knows—that UV exposure
may damage roundsling cores and
cause loss of strength. For example,
WSTDA’s Recommended Standard
Specification for Synthetic Polyester
Roundslings, WSTDA-RS-1, Section
4.9.1 states: “Roundslings should be
stored in a cool, dry, and dark place
to prevent loss of strength when not
in use through exposure to ultravio-
let rays.” And B30.9-6.10.3 makes a
similar recommendation.
Current evidence All types of synthetic slings have
at least one thing in common –
filaments or yarns. Whether laid,
plaited or braided (rope slings), wo-
ven (rope jackets, flat web load bearing material, and roundsling
covers) or loose (roundsling load rated core yarns), they all arrive
from the yarn manufacturer as large spools of bundled extruded
filaments. As makers of wire rope and chain slings rely on the
manufacturers for technical data regarding their raw material,
so do synthetic slingmakers, who rely on the yarn and webbing
manufacturers for technical information.
Manufacturers of critical parachuting equipment, using the
same woven yarns of nylon and polyester that the sling industry
uses for roundsling covers, give us some insight into UV’s affects
on synthetic roundslings. The Parachute Industry Association
(PIA) spent nearly $500,000 to answer similar questions about UV
protection. A small portion of what they learned is very helpful to
us in anticipating what we will learn and what we will do with what
we learn from future association testing.
FIRST Sling Technology directed the same questions that were
submitted to the AWRF Technical Committee to Bill Gerrow,
president of Performance Textiles Inc. of Greensboro, N.C. and
Duxbury, Mass., and the Executive Adviser to the PIA. He has
numerous credentials in textile engineering, more than 40 years
of industry experience, and has written various expert articles for
publications such as the Textile Research Journal. According to
Gerrow, and based upon scientific research and evidence, these
are some of the replies that we may expect to receive regarding
roundsling cover questions.
• Will the color of the roundsling cover make a difference in
UV protection? –No. “It is not as simple as picking the right color.
Any given color can be good or bad. The exception is the neon-
style colors which always have a shorter life. Solution-dyed yarns
are better than piece-dyed products. There can be a good dark and
there can be weak dark materials. There can be good light colored
products, and there can be bad light colored products.”
• Will the thickness of the roundsling cover make a dif-
ference in UV protection? –Yes. “The heavier the material, the
longer the life.”
• Will the weave of the roundsling cover make a difference
in UV protection? –Possibly. “The chemistry used in process-
ing the webbing is extremely critical. Each company (manu-
facturer) has their proprietary for-
mulations. Finally, the chemistry
and processing of material have as
much to do with the end results as
the choice of yarns.”
At the heart of the matter Future safety advancements de-
pend on the study of roundsling core
yarns. Traditional (color-coded by
cover) roundslings have a polyester
core which is a UV-resistant poly-
mer. But with the introduction of
Extra High Performance (EHP) core
yarns, there are many questions that
slingmakers need to ask of the core
yarn manufacturers of products such
as Spectra®, Hybrid®, Technora®, and
Dyneema. Slingmakers and sling users will ultimately rely on the
answers to come from their yarn suppliers, regardless of the cover
– transparent or opaque, polyester or nylon.
As the industry conducts additional UV testing, we hope to
learn exactly how much protection different cover materials offer
the rigger. As more is learned, usage procedures may change, just
as the practice of cut protection has advanced from simply protect-
ing slings from sharp edges to protecting them from all edges.
Whatever the approach, maintaining the integrity of the core
yarns and making it possible for riggers to thoroughly inspect those
core yarns is the heart of the matter. Sling users should continue to
use protection suitable to the given mechanical and environmental
conditions. They should invest in education and training from
firms specializing in slings and other rigging gear. And, when it
comes to synthetic slings, they should always remember that it’s
the yarns that “men’s lives depend upon.”

18 CRANE HOT LINE MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com
Moving mobile cranes to and from
job sites poses significant chal-
lenges for crane owners across
North America. Many all-terrain
cranes are designed and built to meet Euro-
pean transport requirements that are vastly
different from the requirements in the United
States and Canada. In general, European reg-
ulations allow for heavier axle loadings with
short compact axle spacing. U.S. regulations
vary widely from state to state, but in general
axle loading is reduced and spacing increased
to spread the load out over a greater distance.
To further complicate crane transport, each
state, province, and some local municipali-
ties have their own rules and regulations. For
this reason, geography is important when
designing products for transporting cranes.
The dolly or trailer must have the proper
axle spacing to accommodate over-the-road
permit requirements for the region.
The use of crane boom dollies is one tool
crane owners have for making their cranes
transport-acceptable. With a dolly, the boom
is swung to the rear of the crane where it is
carried by the dolly. With special overweight
and oversize permits in hand, dollies can help
crane owners move even the largest cranes
rated up to 600 tons. However, dollies have
also been used on cranes as small as 50 tons.
In addition, in some states, dollies can be used
to transport counterweight. This allows some
truck cranes, such as the Grove TMS9000E
and Link-Belt HTC-8690, for example, to
move over the road with everything they
need and without a separate counterweight
truck. While this is true in many areas of the
country, Ohio is one state where counter-
weight is not allowed to be carried by a dolly.

requirements. In Texas
this machine can be legally
permitted with a simple
two-axle dolly. In many
states a standard tri-axle
dolly is required. To meet
bridge law requirements in
Missouri and Florida the
crane is required to have
a spread-axle dolly. This
same crane can be moved
in Pennsylvania without
a dolly at all. While in
Minnesota, the GMK5275
cannot be permitted even with a dolly as the
axle spacing is too close together to meet
the state requirements. However, Minne-
sota does allow larger six-, seven, and eight-
axle cranes to be moved with a boom dolly.
Frost laws are another consideration for
crane owners moving equipment in most
Canadian provinces and some northern U.S.
states. Frost laws temporarily reduce allow-
able axle loadings in the spring when the
ground is thawing. For some cranes, this may
be the only time a dolly is required for it to be
moved. In Michigan, for example, Nelson has
built numerous dollies for smaller cranes that
allow the machine to be moved with all of its
counterweight most of the time. During frost
law season the counterweight is hauled on a
separate truck while utilizing the same dolly
on the crane.
Weight laws are not the only differences
that must be taken into account when de-
ciding the best way to move a crane. In the
United States, boom dollies are exempt from
having anti-lock brake systems (ABS) because
the device is classified as a load divider dolly.
However, ABS is required in Canada.
Likewise, many dollies in Canada are at-
tached to the rear of the crane carrier with
a pintle hitch. When the dolly is towed the
“tower” of the dolly or boom support must
roll fore and aft as the crane maneuvers and
turns while traveling. This makes this dolly
style heavier than the standard dolly. Among
the advantages are that the dolly and coun-
terweight are towed behind the crane with
the boom to the front, making it easier to
hook the boom up in preparation for work.
Nelson has built this type of dolly with up to
five axles.

transport its Liebherr LTM1200/1.

A Link-Belt RTC-8065 rough-terrain crane, owned by D. W. Burt Concrete Construction, Salisbury, Md., uses a Nelson Pin-n-Go system.
Selecting a dolly or other transport device When selecting a boom dolly, there are
a few key specifications to consider: the
method of attachment to the boom, float
kits, and brake compatibility. Any boom at-
tachment should be approved by the crane
manufacturer. Nelson Manufacturing works
directly with the engineering departments of
all of the major crane manufacturers serv-
ing North America to make sure that we are
handling the crane boom or an RT crane
carrier properly. Any and all welding to the
boom or carrier should be approved by the
crane manufacturer prior to completing any
of this work. In many cases these booms are
manufactured from high tensile steel and
field welding is not allowed.
The crane must also be equipped with
a boom float kit which allows the boom to
float up and down and swing when turning.
When it comes to brakes, most European-
built cranes automatically supply air to
the dolly when the air lines are connected,
which releases the parking brakes. (Dolly
wheels should be chocked to prevent the
dolly from rolling during connect and dis-
connect processes.) Also some crane mod-
els have a higher crack pressure on the air
brake. In this situation, if the dolly brake
valve is not compatible the dolly will try to
stop the crane by itself during light brake
applications. This can cause skidding of the
dolly tires making the crane difficult to drive
and causing excessive tire and brake wear on
the dolly.
On the largest all-terrain cranes—such as
the Terex Demag AC 500 or AC 700, Lieb-
herr’s LTM1400 or LTM1500, and the Grove
GMK6350 and GMK7550—dollies are suc-
cessful in getting these machines road legal
in only a handful of areas. In most cases the
booms must be removed and transported
separate from the crane. Nelson Manufac-
turing offers a line of boom launch trailers
designed to remove and install the boom
without the use of an assist crane. This can
save thousands of dollars per trip as a second
crane does not have to be dispatched just to
install the boom on the AT. After operators
become familiar with this system they can
often “launch” the boom in 30 to 40 minutes.
Again weight laws play a critical role in
determining the number of axles and the
axle spacing of the boom launch trailer. Front
jeeps, detachable axles, and spreader beams
are sometimes required to permit some of
the larger booms on the boom launch trailer.
Nelson has recently introduced a lighter-
weight boom launch trailer for use with the
more popular crane models. This weight-op-
timized design offers all of the same features
and conveniences of the traditional boom
launch trailer, but does not require a “super
load permit.”
Rough-terrain cranes are typically hauled
on hydraulic removable gooseneck trailers.
However on certain models it makes sense
to use a Nelson Pin-n-Go trailer. This sys-
tem includes a gooseneck and a backend that
pins onto the crane, turning it into a self-
supporting load. On some cranes, such as
the Link-Belt RTC-80100 and Grove RT9130,
the Pin-n-Go system pins to the crane with
the removable outrigger boxes removed. On
other machines, such as the Grove RT875E,
lugs are added to the front and rear of the
crane to connect to the system. By using this
system, the weight of the “trailer” is reduced
because there is no deck. Using the system
can also be faster than chaining a crane down
to a gooseneck trailer.
Prior to purchasing any heavy equipment,
including cranes, buyers should consider the
method for moving the equipment. Your
crane dealer or dolly manufacturer can help
you determine what’s best for your specific
application and location. It’s also a good idea
to submit axle spacing and weight to your
state permit department before purchasing
a crane.
Before purchasing any crane, among the
two most important questions you should ask
yourself are: Where will I take this crane and
how do I get there? Lift charts, price, and
reliability mean nothing if you cannot get the
crane to the job.

In the current economy, many crane
owners are choosing to sell off idle
equipment rather than wait for busi-
ness to pick up, making this a buyer’s
market. Though exports of new construction
equipment took a beating in 2009, the good
news is demand remains high from the inter-
national community for good-quality used
U.S. equipment. Even better is the fact that
our nearest neighbors, Canada and Mexico,
are still at the top of the list of buyers. The
key to selling cranes in either market is to
know what’s hot and how to package it.
“There’s a tremendous amount of equip-
ment on the market,” says Eddy Kitchen
of Kitchen’s Crane & Equipment, Chester,
Va., speaking from the seller’s perspective.
About 60 percent of Kitchen’s exports go
to Central and South America, as well as
Mexico. “There are a lot of scam artists out
there saying ‘I can do this’ and ‘I can supply
you with this crane,’ ” he continues. “The
bottom line is it’s all about relationships,
how you take care of the client, and the
relationship you have with them.”
The buyer’s perspective is just as telling.
“The world is small, so they’d better have
a product we need,” Jim Lucas of Encore
Trucking & Transport Ltd., says of sellers in
general. He and his brother Don serve west-
ern Canada with their Edmonton, Alberta,
crane and transport company. Jim Lucas
is candid in his comments: “Those of us
who are prepared to buy, even sight unseen,
from the American market, are equally pre-
pared to go elsewhere, so nobody can rest
on their laurels,” adds Lucas. “Nobody can
get complacent these days.”
The current situation All types and vintages of cranes are pass-
ing through the auction yards of Vancouver,
Canada-based Ritchie Brothers Auction-
eers. Rob Mackay, Ritchie Bros. president,
says the company continues to see a cross-
section offered up for auction. He stresses
the advantages of marketing to a global au-
dience via the auction experience: “Given
the state of the North American economy, a
seller must reach beyond the local boundar-
ies of their country to maximize value.”
Woody Weld of Allied Crane & Machinery,
Mesa, Ariz., a wholesale provider of boom
trucks, service trucks, and large telehandlers,
says Mexico took a bigger hit during the
economic downturn than other countries
in the region. “However, both [Canada and
Mexico] have great potential for the future,
with Mexico and Central and South America
being much larger potential markets.”
Canada, the largest buyer of U.S. con-
struction equipment as a whole, seems to
be a more robust market these days. Asked
for his take on the market, Lucas says the
picture is askew because the economy has
slowed. “There are more deals, but in a used
market, [sellers] tend to think their [ma-
chines] are dear. I beg to differ.” Then, there
are the buyers with limited funds who want
to be sure they’re making the right decision.

Slate Affair is a Vermont company specializing in slate construction and repair of decorative roofi ng. The idea behind purchasing the Tadano TM-1052 10-ton boom truck was for its versatility, says Tower, who regularly uses the remote control for positioning loads or with a personnel basket. “It has opened doors to other work. When a building’s under construc-tion, you’ll fi nd they’ll ask you for everything from lifting materials for other contractors to the homeowner coming up with ideas for new projects—all because the crane is there already. I wanted to eliminate having to hire people to do work when most of the work involves just moving things. Now, I do less moving with more profi ts and less downtime because I’m not having to pay so many guys.”

The demand for U.S. construction equipment remains high near
our borders. Canada and Mexico both top the list of buyers, but so do
several other countries in South America. It pays to do your homework
before putting out the For Sale sign, however, as countries differ on
where they stand regarding equipment imports. Brazil, for example,
won’t allow the import of anything that isn’t new.
“Brazil invested many years to create strong local manufacturing,” says Raphael Castillo, managing
partner in Latin America for The Alta Group, a fi rm that represents leasing companies and vendors in
other countries. “Brazil has very tough controls, and the import of used equipment is forbidden there.”
It’s a completely different story in Mexico, however.
The fi nancial system there is diverse, and there are many funding sources available for fi nancing the
equipment you do sell. Plus, says Castillo, cross-border leasing is acceptable, but it pays to look at the
taxes involved in the sale. The good news, he says, is that there is a double-taxation treaty between
the U.S. and Mexico, which qualifi es a bank-affi liated lessor to receive a reduced withholding tax rate.
“The issue with the lessor being in the U.S. is how to deal with the credit risk and country risk.
Mexico has good infrastructure, credit bureaus, etc.,” says Castillo, adding that the seller must have
the ability to team up with a local institution there to provide equipment fi nancing on his terms. “Most
[U.S. sellers] are planning to sell for cash, and we would suggest they go into a leasing situation in
Mexico. Most leasing companies that exist today in Mexico are organized as multipurpose fi nancing
organizations.”
Castillo suggests studying the largest players when deciding who to work with. Then, he says to
structure the deal, the seller should go through a checklist, including how to deal with taxes, how to
fi nance the deal, what kind of customer he’s working with, and how he’s going to get paid. “You need
a local player who can fi nd buyers and screen them,” he says. “This organization can provide a lease or
long-term fi nancing, as well as short-term fi nancing.”
Beyond that, Castillo says, the seller should look at the specifi cs of the sale, such as whether there
will be a contingency plan if an accident should happen with the machine, or how to work with a risk-
management organization if he is retaining an interest in the equipment.

Lucas continues. “For a lot people it’s a big
decision, and they have buyer’s remorse.
People second-guess themselves. It’s easier
to make mistakes when you’re dealing far-
ther afield.”
The Association of Equipment Manu-
facturers (AEM) compiles data for off-road
equipment into quarterly export trend re-
ports. Although U.S. construction equip-
ment exports fell by more than one-third
in 2009, the association notes that South
and Central America and Asia are among
those regions experiencing the smallest
2009 yearly declines.
After Canada, the top buyers of U.S.-made
construction machinery were Mexico, Aus-
tralia, Chile, Brazil, and China, in that order.
Dennis Slater, AEM president, believes it
is crucial that the federal government ease
the reins on international business in order
to move American products. “Many of our
smaller companies increasingly rely on ex-
ports to keep their businesses operating,”
Slater said earlier this year, in announcing
the launch of a pilot program with Ex-Im
Bank to help companies maximize their ex-
port opportunities.
Headed for Southern Climes Kitchen says 75 percent of the cranes his
company sells to Central and South America
are purchased directly by the end user, “be-
cause I’m selling not just cranes, but plat-
form trailers and gantries also, and I’m doing
a lot of repeat business.” Often the customer
knows he’ll need a crane in addition to the
other equipment, so Kitchen will try to fill
that need as well. “I just shipped three RT
cranes and they actually were to the end
user, but [the sale was] arranged through a
crane sales company in South America.”
Kitchen says there are some companies
with the financial resources to shop for later-
model units, but they still aren’t buying new.
“They’re saying ‘get me something between
three and five years old that has relatively
good hours and has been well maintained.’”
Machine safety enhancements have not
been in high demand, he says. He explains
that the typical anti two-block is adequate,
while cameras and computer systems are
nice but not necessary. “They’re looking for
value more than anything else,” he says.
Kitchen’s Crane & Equipment gets calls
for crawler cranes rated at 220 tons and up
and all sizes of RTs, ranging from 30 to 110
tons, reports Kitchen. “And I’m getting [re-
quests] for older, larger-capacity AT cranes.
Some of them don’t even want late-model
machines. They want 1980s to 1990s equip-
ment that have the capacity.”
Meanwhile, truck cranes don’t draw many
buyers because in parts of South America
there are local truck crane manufacturers.
The import fees to bring in a crane under 60
or 70 tons would be almost double the cost
of the crane simply because South Ameri-
can countries want to promote their own
domestic construction equipment sales.
In Mexico, buyers represent both end users
and resellers or dealers. Ritchie Bros., too, has
found that these shoppers are looking for RTs
as well as hydraulic truck cranes. Construc-
tion equipment safety standards are more
relaxed in Mexico than in the United States.
Couple that with a depressed economy, and
Mexican buyers tend to seek older used ma-
chines. They typically go after models that are
more than five years old, Mackay reports.
Kitchen finds that demand from Mexico
is down in comparison to Central and South
America. He attributes it to a reduction in
job starts and a devalued peso. One cus-
tomer, with whom he has a good business
relationship, simply can’t afford to purchase
anything right now because of the exchange
rate between the peso and the dollar. The
inquiries he does get from Mexico are from
contractors who have jobs on the books.
“They’ve won the contract, and now they
need the equipment,” he says.
However, the demand for transport
equipment is strong, due in part to the wind
turbine manufacturing business in Mexi-
co, which needs to transport components
throughout the country. “I’m still getting a
lot of interest,” Kitchen says. “There are still
transport projects where they need trailers,
specialized rigging equipment, hauling, and
transport equipment. Some companies that
have been successful in different sectors are
gearing up for the wind market that is sure
to come their way. There are already proj-
ects taking place, and there will be more.”
The Great White North In Canada, inventories of used cranes
are higher than in past years, says Mackay,
however, the country is still a good market
for late-model, low-hour machines. Buyers
want these types of cranes from all catego-
ries, including mid-size to large RTs, which

well as others, directly from CraneWorks, Inc.,
Houston, Texas.
still represent the largest sector. The lifting
capacity on truck cranes sought by Cana-
dian buyers continues to climb; 40 tons plus
is the norm now, says Mackay.
The parts business is part of what at-
tracts Lucas to purchasing cranes from the
United States. After the salesman has sold
their first crane, the availability of parts and
service is what sells the second one, says Lu-
cas. “If parts and service aren’t there, we go
elsewhere, or we have real reservations about
buying a second crane.” Encore often turns to
CraneWorks, Inc., Houston Texas, for late-
model used picker cranes. “If parts and ser-
vice aren’t there, we go elsewhere, or we have
reservations about buying a second crane.”
Lucas says he buys cranes based on what
the work calls for, however, “I try to stay
with the same make. It makes sense to have
the same style of crane. It requires less fa-
miliarization time [for the crew] and you
know there are certain parts on your shelf
that will fit four or five cranes.” He explains
that narrowing the number of makes of
cranes in a fleet cuts down on a host of
maintenance problems and the need for op-
erational and maintenance expertise as well.
“But when you don’t have money you can’t
be as selective. That’s when you end up with
a Heinz 57 fleet,” he says.
Canadian crane owners face many of the
same safety standards as American end us-
ers, so Canadian buyers demand today’s
technology, even in used equipment when-
ever they can get it. “Your crane is not wel-
come in many of these plants if it isn’t up
to snuff with all of the safety features,” says
Lucas. “We need all the safety features the
new cranes have. In Alberta, we have strict
standards; we have a very thorough certifi-
cation program every year.”
Encore’s fleet is made up of used cranes
that originated in a variety of countries,
such as Italy and Japan, as well as the United
States. But because Encore prefers to work
directly with the seller, being able to speak
the same language as the seller is an advan-
tage when buying from the United States.
“We don’t use a broker; we talk directly with
these guys,” says Lucas. Other benefits to
buying used equipment from the United
States include the time factor and an expec-
tation that the equipment will be in good
running condition when it arrives.

Plant demolitions are not unfamiliar to R. Baker & Son All
Industrial Services, but a run-of-the-mill job last year at an
active New Jersey petrochemical plant was far from boring
for the R. Baker crew. The job involved dismantling two 300-
foot towers; a 160-foot tall by 16-foot diameter column; tubed heat
exchangers, tanks, boilers, and a cooling tower; rail loading equipment
and other vessels; pumps and associated piping; and steel work.
In fact, when Bryan Simoes, project manager for the Red Bank, N.J.,
company, says, “This was a good project for us,” you hear the pride in
his voice, and know he actually means it was an opportunity for the
crew to shine in a challenging situation. “Not having anything fall to
pieces was an accomplishment. It will be a memorable job because
everything went very well,” said Simoes.
An ‘awesome machine’ Because of the site’s close proximity to active lines and equipment,
the crew opted to rent a 600-ton Terex Demag AC 500-1 hydraulic all-
terrain crane from United Crane & Rigging, Baltimore, Md. Simoes
said they were actually looking at using a crawler crane, but were lim-
ited on space required for boom assembly. “We were able to assemble
a luffing jib in a whole lot less space than, say, 340 feet of lattice boom,”
he said. “And it met the criteria for tonnage. We were only allowed to
use 75 percent of the crane chart as a safety factor.”
The crane was set up with 183 feet of main boom and 157.5 feet
of luffer with a Superlift, giving the crew a total of 340 feet of boom.
Some 308,000 pounds of counterweight was used. Though they chose
to rent the big crane, the R. Baker crew is familiar with the Demag,
having used a 500-2 model on a stack job in Syracuse, N.Y. Simoes
considers United’s 500-1 an awesome machine. “It’s really easy to set
up,” he said.
Assisting the Demag in taking down the towers and stacks was
a 120-ton Grove GMK 6200-1, also from United’s rental fleet and
chosen because of its capacity. “We also used the same crane as a
[personnel] basket crane,” said Simoes. “We had around 320 to 330
feet of boom on it.”
The trickiest lift at the New Jersey petrochemi-cal plant was of a rusted
90,000-pound sulphur recov-ery unit made at a 75-foot
radius. R. Baker crews used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader
bar to lift it. “That structure was made for a spreader bar pick,” said Bryan Simoes, R.
Baker project manager.

Region Report
< Continued from page 28
Scaffolds were installed so that R. Baker & Son crews could dis-mantle two 300-foot stacks in 50-foot sections. One crew would precut the inner stack, and lift it along with the outer lattice, while another hot-cut the structure into sections, which were lowered to the ground with the help of a 600-ton Terex Demag AC 500-1, rented from United Crane & Rigging.
Always safety first The job called for the complete dismantling of one plant in order
to make way for a new build next to the old one, all within an active
plant. Roadways, lines and utilities, including a high-pressure sulfur
line and a hydrogen line, bounded the work area. Because of the
working environment, safety was first and foremost on this project,
reported Damon Kozul, senior vice president for R. Baker. In addition,
fall protection was a major concern due to work at high elevations. It
was necessary for crews to work from personnel baskets in order to
safely dismantle the towers and column.
“Prior to any work, numerous safety meetings and inspections
were conducted,” explained Kozul. OSHA engineering surveys, critical
lift and rigging plans stamped by a professional engineer, and a site-
specific Health and Safety Plan, and Work Plan, were all developed.
Underground lines were marked, the area was secured with fencing,
and proper signage was placed. Each day, work permits were issued,
safety equipment was inspected daily, job safety analysis reports were
made, and safety toolbox talks were conducted.
R. Baker’s staff spent considerable effort developing the critical lift
and engineered rigging plans. They performed an engineering inspec-
tion of the towers and column to determine structural stability and
integrity, and reviewed existing drawings. They then calculated where
the cuts would be made on the column and towers. Cranes were cho-
sen for the job based on pick heights, crane swing radius, and rigged
load weight.
It’s out with the old To allow for crane access, structures around the towers and col-
umn had to be demolished. Once that was done, dismantling com-
menced. The plant’s massive absorber desuperheater was dismantled
by high-pressure water cutting and taken apart in three sections. Two
70-ton hydraulic cranes from R. Baker’s fleet were mounted with per-
sonnel baskets so that the crew could tackle the cutting work. Once
pre-cutting was completed, the Demag was mobilized. Each of the
structure’s three sections was rigged and lowered to the ground by
the AT crane.
The dismantling of the two 300-foot tall towers then began. Scaf-
folds were installed to facilitate the intricate rigging and removal of
stack sections in 50-foot intervals. The goal was to attach rigging
points at two elevations within each 50-foot interval. “We took the
top part and the 50-foot stack first,” recalled Simoes. “We then went
up, set I-beams up to support the cables we ran down it, and installed
three suspended scaffolds on one cable so each man could travel up
and inside the lattice work.”
Simoes said the crew would precut the inner stack, then lift it along
with the outer lattice. Then personnel baskets were attached to two
190-ton R. Baker hydraulic cranes and the crew hot-cut the structure
into sections, which were lowered to the ground via the Terex Demag
for final demolition by excavators with shears.
“We used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader bar on the towers until we
reached a certain height,” continued Simoes. “Once you add length to
them you lose capacity, so we went to a Mod 110 spreader beam.”
The trickiest lift of all for the crew was not the highest but the heavi-
est. “It was around 90,000 pounds at a 75-foot radius,” he explained.
“We used a Modulift Mod 50 spreader bar to lift it only because it was
a sulphur recovery unit and everything was rusty. That structure was
made for a spreader bar pick.”
The crew was also charged with removing obsolete piping and
pipe racks, but dove in only after confirming that each line was de-
energized, drained and disconnected. Pipes to be cut and cut points
were verified twice in a coordinated effort with R. Baker and the cli-
ent’s personnel.
Work started from the open end of a pipe to ensure that it was not
an active line, and crew members worked in personnel lifts with fall
protection. Pipe sections were secured by rope, come-along, or crane.
“We took a 95-foot long piece of 24-inch Schedule 80 pipe off the rack
with the Demag,” said Simoes. After being cut free, piping was lowered
to the ground by the crane to avoid any free-fall of dismantled sections
within the live plant.
Staying busy Check out the portfolio of R. Baker & Sons All Industrial Services,
and you’ll find a lot of dismantling work, especially detail disman-
tling. In fact, in its service profile, the company touts itself as “the
premier specialized contractor for dismantlement, decommissioning,
and demolition in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.” Crew
capabilities listed include total plant and facility dismantlement, de-
commissioning, demolition, plant relocations and re-installations as
well as heavy equipment rigging and machinery moving, millwright
services and onsite concrete crushing.
This line of work “keeps us busier than some because certain rig-
ging and demolition companies don’t like to get into units like this
inside of live plants,” said Simoes. Asked whether the company would
be contracted to install the new plant in place of the old, he said they
will definitely bid on the job, although it was delayed. Originally, the
new plant “was supposed to be on our heels,” said Simoes.

TADANO AMERICA CORPORATION
44 CRANE HOT LINE MAY 2010 • cranehotline.com
Introduced by Manitowoc last month at Bau-
ma, the 350-ton Grove GMK6350L packs
strong lifting abilities, especially at tall heights,
for a six-axle class all-terrain crane. Positioned
near the top of Grove’s AT product line, the GM-
K6350L represents a fresh take on the Manitowoc,
Wis., manufacturer’s current six-axle crane off ering.
“After updating the smaller all-terrain cranes in
our product line over the past several years, we be-
gan looking at the Grove six-axle crane,” says An-
dreas Cremer, all-terrain crane product manager for
Manitowoc. “Th e GMK6350L will be the fi rst of two
new six-axle cranes we will introduce to the market
in the near future.”
Th e AT’s completely new design will replace the
GMK6250L with nearly 30 percent better capacity charts and 26 more
feet of boom length. It is being marketed as an ideal machine for erect-
ing tower cranes such as Potain’s MDT 308 topless crane, which has a
230-foot boom erected in 15.75-ton sections. Th e Potain crane has a
maximum height under hook of 213 feet, allowing the GMK6350L to
position the sections when working with its boom at 245 feet.
“Th e GMK6350L is setting a new benchmark in this class. Our cus-
tomers look for improved cost of ownership and getting the most out
of their investment,” adds Cremer.
On the road Th e all-terrain crane has a fully automatic transmission for onsite
drivability, the only crane in its class to do so, according to the com-
pany. Th e Allison 4500 SP is a strong, reliable, and cost-eff ective drive-
train solution. Its electronic controls allow it to adapt to its surround-
ings and provide self-diagnostics for easier maintenance. An integral
retarder off ers enhanced braking on hills.
“We continue to off er a fully automatic Allison transmission which,
in combination with our Megatrak suspension, makes this crane a real
all-terrain machine,” says Cremer. “Steer-by-wire” technology on axles,
including the fi fth and sixth, uses fewer components, allowing better
space utilization.
Additional design features include a new carrier cab. Th e style is
similar to Grove’s four- and fi ve-axle all-terrain cranes. Th e cab ac-
commodates up to three crew members and features ergonomic in-
strument positioning for better driving. In addition, visibility, heating,
air conditioning, aerodynamics, and noise reduction are all improved.
Transport issues have also been taken into consideration. Options
like the new self-rigging auxiliary hoist and removable outrigger box
were designed especially to help North American customers in trans-
porting the crane, says Cremer. Th e crane’s boom hangs over the front
of the 50-foot-long carrier by 5.7 feet. Axle spacings are favorable with
10.5 feet between the fi rst pair of axles and 8 feet between the second.
Maximum counterweight of 102 tons is made up of two 11-ton, fi ve
10.5-ton, and two 10-ton slabs in addition to the 8-ton base plate.
Th e optional auxiliary hoist can be rigged together with the coun-
terweight without the help of an auxiliary crane, which saves additional
transport. Power for the superstructure comes from a Mercedes OM
926 LA, and for the carrier, from a Mercedes OM 502 LA.
On the job When it comes to setup, the crane off ers fi ve outrigger positions
to provide greater fl exibility on even the narrowest of sites. In addi-
tion, the suspension can now be controlled from the outrigger control
boxes to improve the effi ciency of rigging tasks.
Excellent reach is available via a 263-foot, seven-section Twin-Lock
boom that includes patented Megaform designs for optimized rigidity
and capacity. For further reach, a 95-foot jib, consisting of a 69-foot bi-
fold swingaway plus a 26-foot intermediate section, is available. In total
this gives a maximum available length of 358 feet. Th is combined with
excellent lifting duties means the crane is well-suited to lifting large
loads at tall heights. A second, heavy-duty jib with a capacity of 42 tons
and off settable to 38 degrees, is also off ered.
Control comes from Grove’s ECOS system and an EKS 5 with full
graphic display monitors lift activities. CraneSTAR, Manitowoc’s
telematics-based remote monitoring system also comes on the GM-
K6350L. Main applications for this model will be tower-crane erection;
placing auxiliary services, such as A/C units, and elevator equipment,
on downtown buildings; and chimney work; as well as general lifting.
Before embarking on the all-new design, Manitowoc engineers in-
terviewed customers around the world to get a clear picture of their
requirements for six-axle cranes. “Th e new [crane] is the result of their
input. With [it], we are going to meet the need for a long-boom ma-
chine with quick set-up times without the need to rig a jib or Mega
Wing Lift,” says Cremer, who also notes the crane’s “outstanding” ca-
pacities at heights, such as 31,600 pounds with 245 feet of boom.
Th e crane was drawing interest even prior to Bauma. “Th e market is
already very excited about this new model and we already have a lot of
requests,” Cremer reported at press time.

When the Association
of Equipment Man-
agement Profession-
als (AEMP) hosted
an asset management symposium
in 2007, roundtable discussions
revealed a stumbling block to the
adoption of telematics systems in
construction fl eets: Th e majority
of those present were reluctant
to adopt the technology because
of the diffi culties with integrat-
ing it into “mixed fl eets.” With
that in mind, construction indus-
try OEMS agreed to work with
AEMP to develop a process for re-
trieving and importing basic data
elements in a standard format.
“Th e key for many end users is
to get the data into their database
so information such as hour-me-
ter readings, location, fuel con-
sumption, etc., can coexist with
that from other manufacturers’
machines and legacy machines
where data is still collected and entered manually,” says Pat Crail,
fl eet information manager for Th e John R. Jurgensen Cos., Cincin-
nati, Ohio. “Th e ability for this data to coexist in the database is crit-
ical, as most users drive their fl eet management reporting system
from these databases.”
Subsequent OEM-end user summits revealed the majority of
fl eet-level reporting could be accomplished with a standard means
of retrieving and importing data elements such as cumulative oper-
ating hours, cumulative fuel consumption, cumulative miles trav-
eled, and current location, the basic elements that drive the majority
of fl eet-level management reports, explains Crail. A standard which
would allow end users to programmatically retrieve this data in a
standard format was completed last fall. Participating OEMs and
telematics providers plan to support delivery of data using the stan-
dard format by October of this year.
Curiosity generates inquiries Th ough it’s early in the introduction process, and this spring AEMP
was just beginning to publicize the standard’s availability, the inquiries
were trickling in from the construction industry. New providers and
additional industry segments are upping the level of interest as well,
Crail reports. “I’m sure we will be hearing from the crane industry in
the near future. We welcome all inquiries and feedback, as this eff ort is
intended to further the industry as a whole.”
Crane Hot Line continues to monitor the reaction to, and interest in,
telematics from the crane industry. Among crane owners, much of the
discussion so far has focused on questions about who owns the data
and who has access to the information, as well as data that is specifi c to
cranes, such as load moment readings and overload data.
Crail says the concern about how the crane owner-generated infor-
mation might be used by OEMs has not yet been an issue, because
in his estimation, the transfer of data using the standard is a relation-
ship between the OEM or telematics provider and the end user. “Th is
data will not be aggregated in a central server or database, but rather
is treated as a privileged communication between the OEM/telematics
provider and the equipment owner,” he says, adding that the nature
of this relationship and its terms will be spelled out when end users
register for access with their respective telematics providers.
“It’s not like we’re talking about a central data repository with de-
tailed lift information sitting out there somewhere for government
agencies to access,” he says. As to the crane industry specifi cally, “I do
not believe there should be much concern that this data would some-
how be used against an owner,” Crail continues. “We are talking about
basic data that all fl eets already track: operating hours, location, and
fuel consumed. Th e standard does not delve into areas such as LMI
readings, data from picks, or any of those sorts of data.”
You can fi nd more information on the standard, download a ver-
sion of it, or get access to a user-driven telematics standard support
site, at AEMP’s website.
www.aemp.org
Telematics Standard Unifies Basic Equipment Data Elements
How it works Telematics providers supporting the AEMP Telem-atics Data Standard will allow end users to transfer telematics data from a provider’s server to their own systems. Providing this basic information in a com-mon XML document allows end users to develop one Application Programming Interface (API) to parse the data and import it into their databases for use by the fl eet management application. This, in turn, al-lows telematics data to feed the existing reports that equipment managers use to manage their fl eets. The same API can be used to retrieve the data from each OEM using unique authentication credentials and server information for each, which reduces imple-mentation expense. “The standard will allow end users to take advan-tage of telematics data solutions in a mix-fl eet envi-ronment with minimal development expense,” says Crail. “The API that integrates the data into the end user’s database can often be developed by the end user’s in-house IT department. Users without a ro-bust IT department can hire developers, like McFady-en & Associates, to develop their API at a relatively low cost compared with the old method of writing a unique application for each provider.”
Crail says the programmatic integration of data that the standard provides “will allow users to feed their ex-isting fl eet management reports with more timely data that is more accurate because this method eliminates all of the potentials for error that can occur whenever you have people reporting with pen and paper.” End us-ers can also cut down on data entry time, and the stan-dard will ultimately provide more timely and accurate fl eet-level management reporting, he adds. Crail notes that rather than replacing existing tele-matics web portals, the AEMP telematics standard is in-tended to complement them. The data provided by the standard will allow users to automate once- or twice-daily updates to their fl eet-level reports, and data from each manufacturer will coexist with that information from other providers, as well as legacy machines whose data is still being entered manually. The telematics pro-viders’ web portals will still provide the more detailed information required for deeper inquiries into a par-ticular machine or group of machines. “Information such as real-time GPS location for dis-patching mechanics; fault code history; machine health information, etc., is still extremely valuable at the ma-chine level, and the OEMs’ applications provide a great means to access this information,” he emphasizes.

SAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO. MARCH
2010 – The president of Millennium Crane
Rental and a crane operator were charged
with criminal negligence that caused the
death of a worker in April 2009. Legal
proceedings have started against the
company, marking the fi rst time in On-
tario charges have been pressed against
a corporation since a 2004 amendment
allows criminal prosecutions of corporate
executives, directors and managers who
act wrongfully or neglect to uphold their
responsibility to keep workplaces healthy
and safe.
The city worker killed in 2009 was one
of two installing a sewer pipe at a landfi ll.
An 80-ton all-terrain crane that was load-
ing concrete into the hole tipped in while
it was being repositioned, and pinned
the worker. Millennium Crane Rental also
faces fi ve charges under the Occupational

to ensure the crane operator was properly
licensed. – The Sault Star

ing up a load of solid steel coils more
than 5,000 pounds each was killed at a
steel plant. According to police, a crane
operator was trying to navigate the load
onto the truck when one of the steel coils
fell on the truck driver and crushed him.
– Tennessean.com
CHANDLER, ARIZ. MARCH 2010 – A
construction crane being used to re-
move three large trees from the yard
of a home turned over on a residential
