Today Wagstaff Crane completed a lift that was very unique and challenging. At a water treatment plant in Davis Country Utah, our 550-ton crane equipped with Mega-wing and full counterweights picked a digester lid that weighed 125,000 pounds at a 70' radius. This unique lift was planned weeks in advance and according to the lift planner the lift went, "as perfect as we had planned".
I was able to capture some pictures of the lift along with this video. The video is a short clip of the pick in action. The complexity of the rigging was what made this specific lift so special. In order to ensure that the concrete lid would not crumble under its own weight, we rigged the dome in 38 different spots, distributing the weight equally throughout the lid.
Wagstaff Crane has prided itself on experience and safety for over 50 years, today we were able to see a safe lift completed safely because of some very talented and experienced employees!
