The energy surge
Around the world power and energy-related
projects continue to be rapidly developed. Work
on these varies, from expansion work and carrying
out maintenance, to lifting vessels and placing
reactors. For these larger, heavy lift jobs, crawler
cranes are the most in demand. “A typical crane
for this type of work is the 1,600 tonne capacity
CC8800-1 crawler,” says Rüdiger Zollondz, Terex
cranes product marketing director. “There is also
the Twin version of the CC 8800-1, which has a kit
that adds another boom.”
A Lampson Transi-Lift LTL-2600 is being
used at the Sanmen Site for the China Nuclear
Energy Industry Corporation in Zhejiang Province,
China. Project and lifting work for the crawler
includes helping with the building construction of a
nuclear power plant.
Although crawlers are the most common
choice of crane type for work at energy projects,
rough terrains are also widely used. Due to their
ability to navigate through tight spaces and
comfortably work in confined areas means that
rough terrains are typically used for maintenance.
For other types of energy projects, such as
electricity transmission work, which includes
the installation of electrical power supplies,
boom trucks tend to be the favoured solution.
Demand for 40 tonne capacity truck cranes is
strong in other parts of the world. A SQ16ZK4Q
truck mounted crane manufactured by XCMG,
for example, has been working at a thermal
power project in Cambodia. The site is the largest
complex of sugarcane, ethanol and thermal power
plants in Cambodia.
As the number of energy projects
undergoing construction continues to grow, the
demand for lift service providers also increases.
The increasing work has also had an effect on
rental companies. Mumbai, India-based rental
company, The Bhoir Group, for example, has
taken delivery of its fourth Liebherr LR 1300
crawler crane in less than 18 months.
Flexibility is an important feature for
companies renting out cranes and equipment
for use in the energy sector. Zollondz adds,
“Customers working in the petrochemical sector
like cranes with long booms; however, they still
want the option of having a short boom. To meet
this demand we introduced the 75 tonne capacity
Quadstar 1075L rough terrain crane.”
Although flexibility is a common demand
from customers, in some situations, different
energy projects call for different crane models
altogether. As Kate Lampson explains, “The crane
model we use depends on the type of energy
project we are working on and the scope of the
project. For most projects we are seeing a demand
for the Manitowoc 4100, Manitowoc 4600 with
and without the ring attachment, Manitowoc
18000, Manitowoc 2250 with and without Max-Er
attachment and the Lampson Transi-Lift LTL-1100
and LTL-2600 models.”
Expansion and development projects throughout the energy sector are having a positive impact on crane manufactures and
rental companies alike. LAURA HATTON finds out more
Rüdiger Zollondz, bom uzunluğu
konusunda da esnekliğe yönelik bir talebin
varlığından söz ediyor: “Petrokimya
endüstrisinde çalışan müşterilerimiz, daha
uzun boma sahip vinçlere ihtiyaç duyarken,
aynı zamanda kısa bom seçeneğinin de
ortadan kalkmamasını istiyorlar. Bu talebe
karşılık vermek için, 75 ton kapasiteli
Quadstar 1075L arazi tipi mobil vinç
modelini geliştirdik. Bu makine, 41,8
m uzunluğunda teleskobik boma ve ana
bomda 45 m uç yüksekliğine sahip. Ayrıca,
8 m uzunluğunda, 20 derece açı yapan bir
sabit jib takma olanağı da mevcut.”
Esneklik, tüm müşteriler açısından
genel bir ihtiyaç olarak kendini gösterse de,
kimi enerji projelerinde farklı vinç tiplerinin
bir arada kullanılması gerekebiliyor. Kate
Lampson’a dönüyoruz: “Kullandığımız vinç
modeli, görev aldığımız enerji projesinin
tipine ve ölçeğine göre değişkenlik
gösteriyor. Çoğu projede, bilezik ataşmanı
takılmış ya da takılmamış Manitowoc
4100 ve Manitowoc 4600 modelleri, Max-
Er ataşmanı takılmış ya da takılmamış
Manitowoc 18000 ve Manitowoc 2250
modelleri, ayrıca Lampson Transi-Lift LTL-
1100 ve LTL-2600 modelleri isteniyor.”
Esnekliğin yanında, nakil kolaylığı
da kullanıcıların önem verdiği özellikler
arasında. Glazer devam ediyor: “İletim hatları
sektöründe, vincin karayolunda hareket için
özel izne ihtiyaç duymaması önemli. Çünkü,
vinçlerin çok sık yer değiştirmesi gerekiyor.”
Elliot Equipment, karayolu mevzuatı nedeniyle
sıkıntı yaşamamak adına, çeşitli modellerini
özel olarak düzenlemiş durumda.
