CRAWLER CRANES Ӏ BRIDGE WORK


can swing around and track sideways and track backwards easily. I can pick and carry with no problem. “The TCC-1200's Link-Belt Pulse


system displays its parameters, counterweights, boom length and more,


is simple to set up and is really easy to understand. The parameters are stored automatically, so when you arrive in the morning all you have to do is switch on; you do not have to enter them all again. And the cameras mounted on the boom


and on the chassis mean that I can see all around the crane while I am tracking forward or backward or sideways. It is so much fun to operate these cranes and manoeuvre around the jobsite. It's something very special." Gutierrez said.


MULTIPLE CRAWLERS USED IN LOUISIANA


Link-Belt crawlers are assisting a $360 million bridge replacement project near Shreveport, Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Transport and Development announced that a temporary trestle replacement bridge neared completion earlier this year. This will then allow construction of the new Jimmie Davis Bridge.


The design-build contractor, Primoris


Heavy Civil of Spring, Texas, is working on drilled shafts, concrete pile delivery, drainage upgrades, and a significant amount of earthwork on both sides of the river as part of the new bridge build. Cranes at the site include a 250 ton


capacity 298 HSL lattice crawler, a 200 ton 248 HSL lattice crawler, and a


120 ton TCC-1200 telescopic crawler with a five-section boom. The purpose of the project is to double the vehicle capacity of the river crossing and support economic development through the efficient movement of people and goods. The new bridge is anticipated to open


by early 2027.
