Power plant components transported by Crane Rental
24 December 2014 by Daniel SearleFlorida-based Crane Rental Corporation has moved equipment components from Charleston, South Carolina, to a power plant project at Port Everglades, Florida.
The company moved 14 components weighing a total of almost 6m lb, including a 675,000lb generator, a 338,000lb K-turbine, and a 655,000lb gas turbine.
The components were moved on a barge from Charleston, offloaded at Port Everglades, and transported to the power plant site. To complete the project Crane Rental Corporation used its 110t-capacity Grove 9000E hydraulic truck crane to lift mats and 55ft-long barge ramps into place, and hydraulic modular Goldhofer trailers.
