BURT crane and rigging jobs in 2000:

The SwanRight: When we were at General Electric in Schenectady, New York erecting a 300 ton overhead crane, someone had an eye on us!  The erection of this crane was the cover story in the July-August issue of "Craneworks" Magazine.
 

100 Ton LinkLeft: That is actually our 100 ton Link Belt crane sitting on our "Angel Wings" 100 feet above the Big Steam Gorge in Yates County, New York.  The State of New York mandated we transfer the weight of the crane and the forces generated when setting the 44,000 pound "Drop in" girder into the pier without affecting the steel.  Of course, we designed and fabricated the "Angel Wings".

 

 

175 Ton CraneRight: Erecting steel for the New York Route 28 bridge over the NY State Thruway.  We are utilizing efficiency in picking power as we place our 175 ton crane in the median of the road so we may keep the maximum numbers of traffic lanes open.  This minimizes the delays due to traffic stoppages.

 

80 Ton CraneLeft: Using our creativity placing a 42,000 pound CNC Milling Machine base in its pit with minimal interruption to normal operations at Zak, Incorporated.  Our 80 ton capacity Krupp 70 GMT-AT crane is the ONLY crane in the area small enough to fit in the building but still have the capacity to do the work!  Of course, we placed the 44,000 pound top of the machine right after this.

 

Krupp KMK5175Right: High above the city of Albany, New York removing and replacing two 10,000 pound rooftop units on the 15 story Crowne Plaza Hotel with our Krupp KMK5175.  This is the ONLY hydraulic crane that could perform as requested.  The actual duration of the mobilization and the work allowed us to have done the complete replacement and been back home before noon!

 

Normanskill Slide
Above: The Normanskill gradually eroded the slope below Delaware Avenue in Delmar, New York in the spring of 2000.  The movement of the slope was unpredictable.  One day, the bottom of the slope began to close off the new channel the creek had carved.  BURT crane & rigging received the call, disassembled our crane on one site in Saratoga County and moved to Delmar to remove soil to keep the creek open in less than five hours!  As were were clamming the soil, we could see the earth moving toward us with each scoop!

 

Helping those SalmonLeft: Helping those Salmon - As part of the project to restore the Atlantic Salmon to the eastern rivers, we were called upon to supply our 80 ton Krupp at the Townshend, Vermont Dam on the West River to set the concrete weirs that will direct the salmon on their way upstream to spawn. The salmon will be directed to a holding tank. The salmon will be taken by the Fish and Wildlife Service to the pool above the dam and released to continue their journey.
