| Conquering the Post-Assembly Inspection of a Limited Edition Crane |
Post-assembly crane inspections happen on jobs across the country every day, but, it's not every day that the cranes include enormous, limited edition machines. Crane Industry Services was called on by Maxim Crane Works in 2015 to deliver a third-party, post-assembly crane inspection of their Manitowoc 31000, of which there are only two in the world, and by Derr & Isbell Construction for two Liebherr LR 11000s configured with the PowerBoom (P-Boom).
Working on the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga., all three cranes are making history. This is the first time the 31000 and the 11000s with the P-Boom configuration have worked on a project in North America. The stadium, which will be the home of the NFL Atlanta Falcons beginning in 2017, features a retractable roof design that opens and closes like the lens of a camera.
