Wagstaff Crane is becoming very well known for its ability to make a large lifts with its two 550 ton cranes. These two sister cranes have made multiple double picks that are absolutely amazing and very delicate. The most recent double pick was at a refinery in the Salt Lake area, the load weighed 330,000 pounds and was handled quite easily by these two large mobile cranes. Each crane was dressed up with full counterweight and used our heaviest rigging slings to perform the impressive pick.
The operators that were performing the pick were very talented and used an open ended cell phone call to communicate throughout the lift. The crew that was working to help set up the crane and land the load was very impressed with the versatility and power of the two GMK 7550 cranes. Below is a picture of the load in mid-air. Each crane was lifting close to 170,000 pounds once the rigging and hook are accounted for. Pretty impressive!
