Crane Rental Corp. Hauls Transformer with Ease

Crane Rental Corp. recently embarked on a five-day journey in Central Florida to haul a 360,000-lb. transformer for 50 miles. The haul job was accompanied by six police and two civilian escorts. 

 

The dual-lane, high-capacity Trail King trailer used for this job featured telescoping axles that extend from 12 to 20 ft. to accommodate over-dimensional loads and more evenly distribute loads over bridges and culverts. It offers suspension beam, perimeter deck, dollies, or bolster options. A T800 Kenworth four-axle tractor with an automatic transmission, 500-hp engine, and 70,000-lb. planetary rear axles pulled the entire load, which was approximately 700,000-lb. gross.

Crane Training at CRC/ICHC

Industry veteran, Jim Headley, president of the Crane Institute of America will discuss the importance understanding learning styles has on developing an effective training program at the Crane & Rigging Conference/Industrial Crane & Hoist Conference (CRC/ICHC) in Houston, Dec. 3-4.

 

Many organizations employing crane operators use a combination of in-house and outsourced training solutions. When selecting training or developing your own program, safety managers should consider the differences between student-centered or instructor-centered training; what is unique to how adults learn; and what steps are essential to developing a sound training program.
