At the onset, this dual crane pick job seemed challenging, but #doingtheimpossibledaily is just part of our DNA. Omega Morgan is known for its crane expertise. The box was lifted, set, and put in place exactly as required. Instead, both operators communicated constantly and successfully to complete the project. Of course, none of the potential problems occurred. The Result: Proven Experience and Customer Satisfaction Once the box was tilted completely upright, the GMK7450 was disconnected and the cold box was moved to position and set onto the correct pad. With its connection at the top of the box, the CC2500 did the heavy lifting, while the GMK 7450 handled the tail rigging during the tilt-up of the cold box tower.

Once the dual lane trailer put the cold box in position, we hooked the CC2500 into its top end while the GMK 7450 attached to the base end. Still, we needed close teamwork to be successful. Using both, the goal of precisely lifting and setting became more realistic.

Instead, two of our crane crews had to work together closely to make sure that everything worked without any issues. This combination of weight and size meant that a simple crane wasn’t enough. Once at the site, the expectation was for an exact pick and set without delay or damages.

Linde needed Omega Morgan to transport a 133-foot rectification cold box, which weighed almost 300,000 pounds, to its site in Hillsboro. The job was as straightforward as it was challenging. The Challenge: Heavy Equipment to Move and Lift
CRANE LIFT BOX FULL
Careful planning and close cooperation between our crane services teams and everyone involved allowed us to finish the job to the customer’s full satisfaction. Linde, a campus close to our Hillsboro yard, contacted our Portland, Oregon office to lift a 133-foot cold box and set it in just the right spot. Imagine what happens when you multiply that complexity by two! One recent job required us to answer just that question. A heavy crane lift requires just the right equipment, and extensive crew expertise.
