Mammoet and The Ruhlin Company have completed the replacement of an overhead crane at a metals facility located in Mansfield, Ohio, US.
The project involved removing an existing 350t crane and installing a new 408t model.
By lifting the replacement crane as a single unit, the companies avoided on-site assembly work, reducing disruption to ongoing operations at the plant.
The removal process used a Mega Jack 800 in combination with self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs).
Installation of the new crane finished in under 48 hours.
Mammoet Heavy Haul Dispatch Britton Campbell said: “Impressive execution all around. Removing a 350t crane and installing a 408t replacement in under 48 hours — while minimising operational disruption — speaks to the value of detailed planning and the right equipment strategy. Strong collaboration between Mammoet and The Ruhlin Company on a critical lift.”
Mammoet undertakes lifting, transport, installation and decommissioning projects for various structures, from heavy components to smaller items.
The company operates internationally and is part of SHV, which has business interests in multiple sectors across 58 countries. SHV employs about 55,000 people worldwide.
The Ruhlin Company offers general contracting, construction management and design/build services for public and private sector clients.
