tree rigging allows multiple steel beams per lift and expedites each hoist. The crane still has the reach needed to place up to five beams, spaced seven feet apart in one lift, to the far top reaches of the structure which saves the crew time in placement of each beam,” Hiatt explained.
The 238 HSL was set up with
200ft (60.9 m) of main boom, with 50ft (15.2 m) of jib offset at 25 degrees. The heaviest loads are the 40ft steel columns that weigh more than nine tons each.
Fast paced permanent
construction techniques are key for business and for the health sector. Schools face another set of deadlines: kids can’t wait for months to go to school, and when the young population of an area soars, the first task is to make sure there are enough classrooms for them to learn in. The approach used here – of modular, temporary, buildings – will be familiar to anyone who’s spent time in site offices; it is also increasingly used for leisure facilities, like ‘pop up’ street food markets. Orange County, Florida, has one of the largest school districts in the USA. Recently, Beyel Brothers supplied two all terrains, a
Two raimondi flat-tops at work on commercial cluster in Toronto
JESS Equipment Inc., the Canadian equipment management company operating under the Straw Construction Group, supplied two Raimondi fl at-top tower cranes, an MRT234 and an MRT294, to an urban redevelopment project in Greater Toronto Area, Canada. The jobsite, situated in North York,
part of the Greater Toronto Area, is for the construction of three new rental buildings across the street from the Yorkdale Shopping Centre. “The decision to utilise these two Raimondis on this important project is based on the superior lifting capacity of the machines, as well as the fast lifting and loading speeds,” said Sante Paglia, director of Jess Equipment Inc. Paglia added that, due to the dimensions of the site and the project’s tight completion deadline, it was essential to choose high performing machines with signifi cant hoist speeds.
The MRT234 presents a maximum lifting capacity of 12t and is freestanding at a height of 35.6m. The machine has been confi gured with a jib length of 48.4 metres and a tip load of 5.6t. Equipped with a 55kW winch and a drum capacity of 700 metres, the fl at-top maximum lifting speed is 22 metres per minute. The MRT294, which freestands at a height of 36.2m, is at work with a jib length
of 42.37m and a 7.6t tip load. The 16t maximum lifting capacity crane is fi tted with a 75kW winch and 700-metre drum boosting a maximum lifting speed of 26 metres per minute.
The machines had a staggered installation
schedule, in line with the jobsite progress. Both cranes, erected by Total Crane Hoisting & Rigging Inc., will remain onsite for a total of approximately 18 months. “With the jobsite located in close proximity
to Yorkdale Shopping Centre, one of the busiest centres in Toronto, as well as the Highway 401, one of the most traffi cked highways in Canada, the biggest challenges of
the project were to ensure smooth operations when accessing the site and to guarantee that the cranes do not swing outside the boundaries of the site,” Paglia explained. Upon completion, the site will feature three contemporary towers hosting 760 residential rental units, commercial spaces, and several modern amenities. “Currently, we have seven Raimondi cranes
within our fl eet, all at work at different jobsites around the Greater Toronto Region. We are proud to participate in this landmark project by Fitzrovia and have utilised two of Raimondi’s heaviest lifting machines in order to ensure its successful delivery,” he concluded.
