All of these are of course big users


of lifting gear. The major player Eilbeck, for example, has constructed and commissioned for the Melbourne project three tunnel works cranes for early works, plus 500t and 250t Full Portal Cranes for lifting the tunnel boring machines at the West Gate portal to the tunnelling works, as well as six large gantry cranes for the yard supplying the concrete tunnel lining segments. These latter are two 10 (5+5) t x 22m span overhead cranes, two 10 (5+5) t x 7.6m semi portal cranes, and two full portal cranes. They supplied another 18 cranes for the Sydney metro project. James Schmidt is engineering manager


of Sam Technology, part of the Schmidt & Muller Group based in New South Wales. It supplies gantry cranes for aluminium, steel and paper plants and equipment to aviation and the mining industry.
