RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION Ӏ SECTOR REPORT
j the boom, you can usually distribute the required parts throughout the entire construction site from a fixed stand. Models range from the Igo 13 with a 20m jib and a maximum load of 1.8 t to the Igo T 130 telescopic crane with a boom of 50m and a maximum load of 8 t.” The most recent introductions
in Potain’s self-erecting range are the Hup M 28-22 and, in June last year, the Igo T 99. “The Hup M 28-22 is one of the most popular Potain models for carpenters, roofers and construction companies,” says Leullier. It offers a maximum payload of 2.2 t and a maximum load of 850 kg with a 28m boom length. The crane has an integrated double-steering transport axle (25 or 80 km/h) with +/- 20° swing, controlled by the crane’s remote control. “It is compact with a length of 11.6 m," says Leullier. "The boom sections are offset from the side of the mast, which gives a low transport height. There is radio remote control for crane adjustment, erecting, crane operation, maintenance and disassembly, and there is intelligent setup software for simple and smooth assembly.” f
Link-Belt Telecrawler builds Washington Condo in tight space
Hardesty Concrete Construction of Sterling, Virginia purchased a Link-Belt 50-ton TCC-500 telescopic crawler crane to pour concrete, lift materials and erect structural steel for a six-story, 25-unit residential condominium in metropolitan Washington, D.C. “We needed something that had a footprint under 19 ft.
(5.8 m) and could reach out 120 ft. (36.5 m). We used the fly on this crane for steel erection of six floors above grade. It has been a lifesaver for us,” said Chris Huntt, hoisting and logistics manager for Hardesty. Space was extremely tight, with less than 180 degrees to swing because of existing structures and parked cars. Happily a Link-Belt TCC-500 requires no additional space to set outriggers since the track width of a fully extended machine is over 15 ft. (4.6 m). From the rear of the site, the crane is able to reach the
front of the jobsite with 110 ft. (33.5 m) of boom and pour concrete with a 1 1/2 cubic yard bucket.
