How to Maintain a Hydraulic Boom - Tadano

26/2/2015

 
Hydraulic boom maintenance for all terrain and rough terrain cranes can often become an afterthought amidst busy work schedules. As TADANO discussed in “Rough Terrain Crane Maintenance and Extreme Working Conditions,” maintenance schedules can often even be accelerated if a crane is working several shifts around the clock.

This is even more important with the pinning style booms that use location sensors and requires more precision than conventional cable extend and retract boom systems.

Crane Anchored Inertia Reels

11/5/2013

 
Picture
The Crane Association of New Zealand places a great deal of importance on training and safety. Over the past 12 months we have watched the strong uptake of the Best practice guidelines for working at height in New Zealand released in April 2012. The Crane Association was involved with this document at a consultation level.
Over the past 12 months we have had a number of members provide feedback regarding working at height. Specifically the unloading of trucks. These members have been looking for viable options to keep staff safe. The issue has been that it is normally easy to load in a known environment with methods and procedures in place but on arrival at a construction site the picture is often very different due to space constraints.

One solution members may not be aware of being used within industry has been Inertia Reels. The Crane Association supports this approach and today release a guideline to our members choosing this option.

You can download from the members area our Guideline for the safe use of Crane Anchored Inertia Reels. (Crane Association Members Only)

Critical Lifts Defined

3/1/2010

 
Note: This information was updated in the 2015 Crane Safety Manual. Refer to Complex Lift which replaced the terminology referred to here as a critical lift. The Crane Association has left this information here for historical record. See the latest Crane Safety Manual for the latest information and advice on Multiple Crane Lifts. 
Category One

1. A relatively simple basic lift requiring one or more cranes.
2. A relatively routine, simple basic lifts not involving significant height or reach using two or more cranes. A relatively routine, simple basic lift is normally one which because of weight, length or physical size requires two cranes e.g. lifting a 40ft container from each end off a truck and placing it on the ground.
