Storage Bin

by Ben Holdaway, Wagstaff Crane Service

Container being lifted in to place

The 66,000 lb. GMO Storage Bin was quite large, but didn’t have a tail lug on it so we had to choke some slings for the tail crane. The main crane had some trunnions at the top we used.

Our main concern was headroom because the client wanted to use 100’ less luffing jib than what we started with for the job.

We thought about taking the luffing jib entirely off, but after looking at the charts we found that if we put out more main boom our capacity drops by 10K, but our headroom increased by 10 feet.

Headroom showed we would have 20+ feet, but we were literally within inches.
