After the new crane passed the acceptance
test at sKt’s location in Moormerland
on May 30, the installation of the
crane started at the end of June with the
delivery of both bridges for the crane. the
crane has a width of 28 m (92 ft) and
a lifting height of 15.5 m (51 ft). With
dimensions like these, it can be presumed
that a logistical challenge was imminent.
the delivery, the clearing of the hall, the
relocation of all existing cranes in the hall,
the pre-assembly, followed by the setting
up of the box girders and trolleys and the
assembly took two weeks. “the work of
the three sKt assemblers and crane operators
was exemplary. they assembled the
bridges, which have a total weight of 140 t
(154 Us tons), in a safe and timely manner,”
says Michael Kubbe.
Following the testing and acceptance by
a crane expert, the new crane has been
operating since mid-July. the first workpiece
that was mounted onto the faceplate
with the help of the crane was a mill
head segment manufactured at siempelkamp
Foundry – one more good example
supporting siempelkamp’s strategy of
not just making use of synergies but of
opening up new ones!
