a total of eight endless wire rope slings with a length of 8 meters and a rated capacity of 262 tons each. The slings were rigged in pairs to shackles with a load limit of 250 tons. “This meant that our CC cranes were
perfectly prepared to lift the gantry crane, which enabled the technicians to disassemble it piece by piece from the bottom up with the help of demolition-type cutting torches,” said Zunino. “Once a chunk was removed from the gantry crane on both the left and right sides, the two cranes would set the remaining gantry crane down on the ground.” During the lift, the maximum load handled by the CC 6800 was 730 tons at a radius of 16 meters, while the CC 3800 1 handled a maximum of 320 tons at a radius of 18 meters. The meticulous planning used by the Vernazza engineering team for
the job, coupled with close coordination with the customer’s technicians, made it possible for the project to be completed as planned and scheduled. “Needless to say, we also have our
own highly qualified employees to thank for that, as they completed the lift with impeccable professionalism,” said Zunino, of his 12-people team at the site: one crane operator and signalperson per main crane, a job manager, a technical manager, and six operators for the assist cranes. All in all, their assignment at the shipyard lasted around six weeks – two for setting up the cranes, two for carrying out the work, and another two for tearing down the cranes.
