Ilike to watch those crime scene investigation shows – all ex-cept the one starring David Caruso, because he just gets on my nerves. I find it interesting how science, the law, police work, and plain ol’ interviewing come together to solve a mystery. It’s

not unlike what happens after a crane accident. I was struck by that similarity last spring when I attended the Asso-ciation of Crane and Rigging Professionals general assembly meeting in San Diego, Calif., and again this summer when I read a detailed account of a crane accident that took place two years ago. Except the

culprits are often timetables, environmental forces, bad habits, and poor communication, not criminal master minds, spurned lovers or greedy business partners. My favorite presentation at the ACRP meeting was made by Brad Closson of CRAFT Forensic Services. Closson’s background combines experience in the Navy, engineering, safety, and lift planning. He demonstrated a technique called polar plotting that can be used in pre-lift planning or accident reconstruction.

More recently, an article written by Richard Kor-man and published July 25, 2007, in ENR magazine caught my eye. The article outlines in detail the events leading up to a crawler crane accident in which three workers were injured. In both the article and Closson’s presentation, two points were clear. The decisions and actions of one member of the construction team – which

includes everyone from the rigger to the operator to the supervisor, etc. – impact others in often unknown and irreversible ways. In addition, a crane accident is never as simple as, “It just collapsed.” So what can be learned from this? I think the lessons are ones that many professionals in the crane business already know, but may not give conscious thought to all that often. We are all guilty of getting caught up in the specific demands of our jobs. We forget to come up for air and take a look around. If we did, we might see that we’ve been swimming against the current. Next issue we will feature an article that explores what crane owners should do after an accident. It will include suggestions for conducting an investigation, interviewing witnesses, keeping records and dealing with the media. We will include interviews with the aforemen-tioned Brad Closson and others including attorney Todd Peterson. Peterson, of Dryden, Margoles, Schimaneck & Wertz in San Francisco, was one of the featured speakers in a video presentation made during SAF-T, a conference hosted by Crane Hot Line’s publisher, Maximum Capacity Media. A side note to all of this and related to not coming up for air often enough – I highly recommend taking time out of your schedules to attend conferences such as these. I think they’re valuable opportunities to remind professionals of ways to stay safe and productive. Yes, you could get bogged down going to meetings all the time, but at a minimum, pick one a year to attend. There’s always something to choose from. Later this month the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association’s Crane & Rigging Conference comes to my hometown, Kansas City. I look forward to seeing you there. z

National Equipment Register (NER) now offers IronCheck, a service that allows

a prospective used-equipment buyer to re-quest a search of the NER database prior to purchase. NER has more than 85,000 stolen ma-chines registered in its database. An Iron-Check search reduces the chances of buy-ing stolen equipment. Prospective buyers submit machine information – such as make, model, type of equipment and serial number – and a search certificate is issued within one business day. The basic cost is $25 with additional searches available at a reduced rate. For a

fee of $40, a search can be processed within one hour. If the machine turns out to be stolen, IronCheck will refund the search fee. IronCheck expects users to help it work with law enforcement to resolve these cases. David Shillingford, president of NER, said that IronCheck will have three im-portant effects. “The first is that it will help protect good-faith buyers of used equip-ment,” he said. “It will also increase recov-ery rates as more used equipment sales are checked against the NER database and, fi-nally, it will make selling stolen equipment riskier and less profitable for thieves.” z

Thomas Lonergan, who most recently worked with his sons, Luke and Paul Lonergan, owners of The Empire Crane Com-

pany, Syracuse, N.Y., recently died of lung cancer. Lonergan, who never played golf or powered up a computer, preferred to sell cranes by talking face-to-face, discussing specs, and going over load charts. He began his career at LB Smith then became a dealer for Pet-tibone before he founded CranExon. Later, he worked in sales for Stewart Equipment, and in 1982 founded Syracuse Equipment. According to family, he had a great vision and in 1994 introduced Compact Truck’s CT-2, the first city class all-terrain crane, to the North American market. In 1999 he was the first Ameri-can crane distributor to be invited to China; eight years later, the crane industry in China took off. Involvement in the Big Dig in Boston was among the highlights of his career, for which he provided the Mantis telescopic boom crawler crane. During the last five years, Lonergan worked with his sons at The Empire Crane Company. Successful despite his reluctance to take advantage of modern technology, Lonergan preferred to head off in his car rather than fax a load chart to a customer or email an update to a client. Reportedly, that personal touch is what he will be remembered for by his customers, associates, and family. z

u EAST LIvERPooL, oHIo, JUNE 2007-A crane operator was unharmed after his 125-ton crane fell onto a barge, knocking the cab off the crane with him still inside. The operator had finished unloading a coal barge when the ground beneath the crane gave way. “I just rode it down,” he said, af-ter realizing what was happening. A second crane was brought in to pick the crane up off the barge. No one else was injured in the incident. – The Review

u STATENISLANd,N.y.,JUNE2007-A woman was struck by a utility pole after a passing truck-mounted crane snapped overhead lines and sent the pole sailing. The woman was hit by the 20-foot pole. She was then thrown into a fence. She was treated for head trauma and a broken arm. – Staten Island Advance

u BRINdLEy MoUNTAIN, ALA., JUNE2007–A crane operator was killed after the 100,000-pound truck crane he was driv-ing overturned. “He hit the right guardrail, then the left, then the right again and flipped,” the crane owner said. State troop-ers said the operator’s driving speed may have been a factor in the accident.

The truck crane landed upside down next to the road. The cab then split from the crane and rolled about 20 feet down an embankment. “We had to stabilize the cab, or it would have rolled and killed about 10 rescuers,” the volunteer fire department captain said. “We tried to lift it but finally had to cut [the operator] out.” It took rescuers 1-1/2 hours to cut the man from the cab. “He was conscious until they lifted him out, and then he went into shock,” the crane owner said. “He died as they were getting him on the helicopter.” Workers from the crane company worked for six hours removing the damaged truck crane. Two additional cranes and a wrecker were needed to lift and move the over-turned machine. – Decatur Daily z

Two Sun tower cranes are lathering up construction of Dial’s cor-porate headquarters. The 9-ton STT-293A-18s, rented by Sundt Inc. of Tempe, Ariz., from lewis Equipment, based in Grand Prairie, Texas, are on the construction site in Scottsdale, Ariz., moving building

materials around the jobsite during the year-long project.

Paula Cartie, na-tional director of mar-keting for lewis, says the cranes are favored for projects like this because they are a “consistent piece of machinery.” She says

customers like Sundt appreciate the ease with which the Sun tower cranes go up, as well as their capacity and high capabilities. “They’re [considered] one of the smoothest operating cranes on the market.” Straight-up tower cranes, the Sun models have 145 feet and 185 feet of hook height respectively. They’ll be coming down next spring or early summer, once the soap maker’s 340,000-square-foot multi-story build-ing is near completion. Four stories of office space and three stories of underground parking for several hundred employees are planned for the large-footprint facility. z

Editor’s Note: An astute reader noticed that some numbers didn’t jive in the August 2007 cover story. After checking the load charts for a 40-ton Terex T340Xl mentioned on page 14, Joe Myerjack, vice president of Empire Erectors and Electrical Co. Inc., Bronx, N.Y., realized the crane couldn’t have picked the 5,000-pound load at a 100-foot radius. The correct radius was 70 feet.

Brendan Casey has more than 18 years experience in the main-tenance, repair and overhaul of mobile and industrial hydraulic equipment. For more information on reducing the operating cost and increasing the uptime of your hydraulic equipment, visit his websites: www.InsiderSecrets ToHydraulics.com and www.HydraulicSupermarket.com.Before carrying out work, including inspections, on a

crane, gravity must be considered. Ensure mechanical safety stops are in place to prevent collapse of any raised or extended attachments. Any part of a hydrau-

lic circuit that is supporting a load can remain pressurized after the system has been shut down. Attempting to remove a hydraulic line or component that is supporting a load can result in the sudden release of pressurized fluid and/or uncontrolled movement of the load, causing serious personal injury and/or property damage.

Hydraulic pumps and motorsTroubleshooting loose bolts and fasteners; leaks at joints be-tween sections; & shaft seal leaks. Look for signs of fretting between bolt or fastener head and mounting face. If loose fasteners are suspected, confirm tension using a torque wrench. If the correct tension cannot be attained, inspect the condition of both male and female threads, and check the fastener for cracks using dye penetrant or other suitable non-destructive testing (NDT) method. When troubleshooting leaks at joints between sections, re-member that leaks can manifest themselves in two ways. Look for either free oil on the outside of the pump or motor or a build-up of dust and grime. Elastomeric seals harden over time as a result of the constant cycle of heating and cooling, a process known as aging. Aging results in a loss of compression-set, which allows leakage. Leak-ing seals may also indicate the system has been overheated. The reliability of elastomeric seals is contingent on fluid tempera-ture being maintained within acceptable limits. A single over-temperature event of sufficient magnitude can damage all the seals in a hydraulic system, resulting in numerous leaks. A third possible cause of seal leakage is over-pressurization. Check the hydraulic system’s over-pressurization protection devices for proper operation and adjustment. And keep in mind that where oil gets out, contamination can get in! Shaft seal leaks can be caused by aging or over-temperature events, as described above. The other main cause of shaft seal leaks is excessive case pressure. High case pressure in piston pumps or motors results in excessive load on the lip of the shaft seal. This causes the seal lip to wear a groove in the shaft, which eventually results in leakage past the seal. If case pressure exceeds the shaft seal’s design limits, instantaneous

failure can occur. The subse-quent loss of oil from the case can result in damage through inadequate lubrication. Causes of high case pressure include restricted or incorrectly routed case-drain line or excessive internal leakage (wear). On certain pump types, a leaking shaft seal can result in air being drawn into the system.

Hydraulic valvesTroubleshooting cracks in housing; improper return of spool to neutral position; leaks at spools or joints; & sticking spools. When troubleshooting cracks in the housing, remember that external cracks manifest themselves similarly to leaks in joints. Look for either free oil or a build-up of dust and grime on the outside of the housing. If cracking is suspected, clean off the housing and check for the crack using dye penetrant or other suitable NDT method. Internal cracking can allow internal leakage across the valve and may only be detected as a result of loss of operating speed or localized heating (where there is a pressure drop heat is generated). Cracks in valve housings can be caused by over-pressurization or through flexing or distor-tion of the valve’s mounting structure. Sluggish or improper spool centering can be caused by bro-ken return springs, bent or damaged control linkage, or hard or soft particle contamination of the hydraulic fluid. Inspect the control linkage; if no wear or damage is obvious, the valve should be removed for disassembly and inspection. When dealing with leaks at spools or joints, the same factors apply as it relates to the aging and the hardening of elastomeric seals. Leaking valve seals may indicate the system has been overheated. If the spool yoke is not fully encapsulated, corrosion or damage to the exposed spool-end can nick or otherwise damage the spool seal. Another pos-sible cause of leaking spool seals is excessive back-pressure in the tank line. The main cause of sticking valve spools is particle contami-nation of the hydraulic fluid. Particle contamination can be divided into hard particles, such as wear metals and dust, and soft particles, such as oxidation products and sludge. Hydraulic spool valves rely on the close tolerance between the spool land and body for internal sealing. If hard or soft particles invade this space, sticking of the spool can occur.

Guest Perspective

Hydraulic cylindersTroubleshooting drifting; rod seal leakage; leaks at welded joints; scored, nicked or dented cylinder rods; dented tube; and loose or deformed rod eyes or connecting joints. A standard test for cylinder drift is to put the cylinder in the mid-way position, turn off the engine and wait. If the cylinder rod moves more than a 1/2-inch in three minutes this indicates internal leakage across the load holding valve (if fitted) or valve spool. It is a popular misconception that cylinder rod drift is caused by leakage across the piston seals in a double-acting cylinder. This is incorrect! Rod seal leakage can be an indication that either the guide bush is excessively worn or the rod is bent. In both cases this

results in the weight of the rod riding on the seal, which causes it to fail. If the chrome surface of the rod is pitted or scored, the life of the rod seals will be reduced. Rod seal leakage requires swift attention. If oil is leaking past the rod seal, dirt and

other contaminants are being drawn in. These contaminants can damage the cylinder-tube bore and piston seals. Contamination ingested past the cylinder-rod seals can cause wear and damage

to other components in the system. Note that a small amount of oil passing the rod seal(s) is necessary to maintain lubrication between the rod and seal, which is essential for proper seal life. Leaks at welded joints can manifest as either free oil or a build-up of dust and grime around the weld. If cracking is suspected, clean-off the weld and check the crack using dye penetrant or other suitable NDT method. When inspecting a hydraulic system, check that the chrome surfaces of all cylinder rods are free from pitting, dents and scores. Damage to the chrome surface reduces the service life of the rod seals. Damaged cylinder rods allow dust that settles on the surface of the rod to enter the cylinder and contaminate the fluid. If the chrome is badly pitted or scored, the rod must be either re-chromed or replaced. Dents in the tube or cylinder barrel can cause interference between the piston and cylinder wall and ultimately, failure of the cylinder. In extreme cases, dents may result in rupture of the cylinder barrel. If in doubt, remove the cylinder for inspection and/or repair. When troubleshooting loose or deformed rod eyes or con-necting joints, remember that transmission of cylinder forces over thousands of cycles often results in worn, oversized or out-of-round eyes. If this wear is allowed to continue unchecked, significant damage can be done to both the cylinder and its anchor points on the machine. This type of wear is usually obvious when the cylinder changes direction, often in conjunction with a knock-ing noise when the slack is taken up. z

Staffing Up for Tower CraneS Population explosion has stretched the industry’s human resources

T he entire crane industry has experi-enced strong growth for the past few years, but no sector more so than tower cranes. Where contractors

often used long boom or luffing jib lattice cranes in the past, they are now increasingly using European-style free-standing tower cranes. Smaller self-erecting tower cranes have also emerged on the market.

There are no official industry statistics for tower crane sales in the United States, but an educated assessment indicates that the population has risen from about 500 units as of five to 10 years ago to more than 2,000 units today, including self-erectors. Not long ago, Morrow Equipment, the Salem, Ore.-based Liebherr distributor, and now-defunct American Pecco were the only major owners

of tower cranes for hire. In recent years, com-panies like Maxim, AmQuip, General Crane, Lewis Equipment, Coast Crane, Heede South East, Dielco and JF Lomma have each built significant fleets of tower cranes. Others, like Bigge, have just started buying with new plans to establish tower fleets. Despite the growth in the tower crane population, demand outstrips supply. Almost

everyone wants more cranes than they can get. Even Morrow, which already has more than 500 cranes, making it by far the larg-est fleet in the country, would have more if it could. President Christian Chalupny says that Morrow would take 50 to 100 more “if delivery times and prices were better.” Demand is high worldwide, so American buyers have to get in line to wait with the rest

of the world. One way to attract the attention of the manufacturers and perhaps jump the queue is to order big. Two years ago AmQuip of Bensalem, Pa., placed $30 million orders for tower cranes with Terex Cranes and Man-itowoc Crane Group. “We put together a very aggressive growth plan, and it has worked out pretty good,” says Dennis Bates, AmQuip’s tower crane vice president. Last year General

Crane of Pompano Beach, Fla., placed a 60-crane order with Linden Comansa America, more than doubling the size of its fleet to gear up for expansion into new territories.

Human resources But getting iron is just part of the chal-lenge. The other key issue is finding per-sonnel – ideally experienced, qualified and competent – but some companies take what they can get and train them as needed. “There are actually tower cranes stand-ing with no operators,” says Ronald Gray, who established the Tower Crane School of Phoenix earlier this year in Arizona. “They can’t find anybody. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.” He adds that there are also a lot of operators at work who lack experience. “There is definitely a skills shortage,” confirms Chalupny. “It’s definitely a prob-lem for the industry. But it hasn’t really affected us. We have our own program of bringing people in and training them. We have our own training center.” Morrow minimizes its staffing needs by offering mainly bare rental, and it subcon-tracts erection and dismantling. Others, such as General Crane, offer full service with operators and erection crews. While staffing has “always been a problem in Florida,” says Jim Robertson, managing partner of General Crane, he finds it is easier to find tower crane operators than mobile crane operators. Even harder to locate are technicians and mechanics. To tackle this problem Robertson has recruit-ed technicians from the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, and Canada. However, the situation north of the border seems no easier. “There is an immense labor short-age in Canada, and in many cases, there is a surplus in projects available and a shortage in workers qualified to do the job,” says Gonzalo Aleman from the Toronto office of Caribbean Tower Cranes Ltd. In regions where tower crane operators must be certified, there’s an additional degree of difficulty when it comes to re-cruiting and hiring. Graham Brent, execu-tive director of the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), says that by the end of the first quarter of 2007 there were 922 certified tower crane operators in the country. The CCO tower crane program started in Janu-ary 2005. Since then, 1,986 candidates have


Since Bauma took place in Germany last April, this has been a bumper year for new tower crane launches. New flat-tops, luffing jib cranes and self-erectors

abound. Here is a selection of new products now available. Manitowoc Crane Group’s Potain division showed two new flat-top tower cranes and a new luffing jib tower crane at Bauma. The MDT 218 is the fourth and largest in the MDT flat-top series and is available in either an 8.8-ton or 11-ton maximum capacity version. It lifts 1.6 tons at a maximum radius of 213 feet. The new MCT 88 is the first of new series of smaller “city class” flat-top cranes, designed to be quick to transport and erect, and take up little ground space on site. Maximum capac-ity is 5.5 tons (11,000 pounds), and it lifts 1.2 tons (2,400 pounds) at full radius of 171 feet. Potain’s new MR 295 is a luffing jib crane with up to 197 feet of jib. It is available in three ver-sions, with maximum capacity ranging from 17.6 tons to 27.5 tons. Potain also showed two new self-erectors. The Igo T 70 is the first of a new series with telescopic masts, to give a variable working height up to 105 feet. Maximum capacity is 4.4 tons (8,800 pounds), and it lifts 1.4 tons (2,800 pounds) at full radius of 131 feet. The Igo MC 13 is fitted with a trailer axle for towing to site and erects in less than 30 minutes, according to Potain. Maximum capacity is 2 tons (4,000 pounds), lifting height is 52 feet and jib-end capacity is 1400 pounds.

Flat-tops and luffers are also a theme of Liebherr’s latest models. Liebherr intro-duced its flat-top EC-B series in 2006 and this year has completed the series of 14 models with jibs rang-ing from 155 to 246 feet and maximum ca-pacities from 5.5 to 13.2 tons. More than 600 units have already been delivered worldwide. Liebherr also launched the smallest of its luff-ing-jib towers, the 125 HC-L 6/12 Litronic. Maximum load capac-ity is 13.2 tons, and it can lift 4,200 pounds to 98 foot jib-end. In its self-erector line, Liebherr introduced the smallest in its K-range. The 26 K.1, has a telescoping lattice tower for varying hook heights and a jib that can be raised

taken the written exam and 1,286 had taken the practical. This year there has been a big upswing in test takers. In the first quarter of 2007 there was a 130-percent increase in the number of written exams and a 74-percent increase in practical examinations given over the previous quarter. According to Brent, reasons for the increase include a growing awareness of CCO certification as a risk management tool; increasing population of tower cranes in the U.S.; an increase in the number of employers, owners and contractors re-quiring certification; insurance company incentives; and increasing state legislation requiring it. The growth in CCO certification comes despite the massive workload facing the nation’s contractors. “We typically see less certification when manpower demand is high because contractors don’t have the time,” Brent says. “They just want to get the job done. I’m sure there are a lot of contrac-tors delaying it until they are less busy.”

Full service rental One of the effects of the increasing re-quirement for certification is that there is a growing demand for rental companies to supply operators as well. Heede South East of Pineville, N.C., has 72 tower cranes and is moving increasingly from bare to oper-ated rental, says Michael Hundley, safety director and training manager. Heede now employs 21 operators, and all were scheduled to take the CCO test in early August. “It has been a major task to get all the general contractors to agree,” says Hundley. “We had to get them to bend over backwards but they’ve agreed.” Robertson says General Crane has also found it difficult to find time for training in order to prepare operators for CCO ex-ams. While some of the company’s opera-tors are certified, not all of them are. “We have our own training facility, but we are a six-day-a-week business. It’s tough to get the time [for training]. We will get there, but it’s tough to get them all [trained and tested],” he says. The Tower Crane School of Phoenix has been putting five candidates a month through the CCO process and Gray has been surprised to find that, on comple-tion of his 70-hour course, students are in demand to go straight into operators’ seats. He says: “I never anticipated they’d

Central Contractors Service Inc., which is part of the All Erection & Crane Rental family, is providing a Potain MD 485 B hammer head tower crane for the construc-tion of a condominium building in Chicago, Ill. The Allure at K Station is a 39-story condo being built by James McHugh Con-struction and is scheduled for completion mid-year 2008. The crane, which will ultimately rise to a maximum hook height of 440 feet, was selected for its high line speed and large hoist capacity, says John Martello, general manager of Central Con-tractors Service.

go right up their on there own, by them-selves, straight from school. But that’s what is happening. I expected them to start as back-up or an apprentice.” Not only does Gray believe that CCO certification should be considered a starting point for operators, rather than freedom to take charge of a crane, he also thinks there should be different categories for top slewing cranes and self-erectors. Currently, a candidate’s practical exam might involve operating a small self-erector, but if he or she passes, the student is then certified to operate any type of tower crane. “It should be a different license for self-erectors,” Gray says. “If you take the test on a self-erec-tor, you won’t have a clue what to do [on a free-standing top slewer]. You wouldn’t even know how to turn it on.” Graham Brent defends the status quo. “Job task analysis shows that the same skill sets are required for self-erectors as for top slewers,” he says. “It is for employers and site managers to ensure operators are familiar with the specific equipment that

they are required to operate.” Gray set up the Tower Crane School of Phoenix in partnership with Staf-ford Tower Crane of Scottsdale, Ariz. “We had to set up our own training company to ensure we have operators,” says Patrick Stafford, owner.

Beyond the operator Operators are just one part of the staffing equation, however. Tower cranes also need technicians to inspect and maintain them, and erection crews to put them up. And they need riggers to sling the loads

and signalers to direct the operator. When it comes to safety, the operator is often the least of the crane owners’ worries. Michael Hundley believes that riggers and signalers should have to be certified too. “Riggers on the ground are our eyes. They are what we depend on, and they don’t have to be certified. They are more important than the operator in my opin-ion,” he says. Hundley also thinks erection crews should require a specific qualifica-tion too. Brent supports this view, although the or-ganization does not currently offer certifica-tions for other crafts. “Most accidents tend to occur when [the cranes] are being erected, dismantled or jumped, which typically don’t implicate the operator,” says Brent.

Terex Comedil’s new mid-range CTT 231 flat-top has a lift-ing capacity of 11 to 13 tons. Set-up time has been reduced, Terex says, by using the new TS23 mast design and the upper section can be lifted into place with just four lifts by a suitable sized mobile crane. At full working radius of 230 feet, the CTT 231 lifts 4,630 pounds. Terex also showed a new ver-sion of its CTL 260 HD23 (lifting capacity 20 tons) at Bauma with a TS23 tower.

The famous 1989 San Francisco acci-dent that led to legislation in California occurred while a crane was being jumped to increase its height. The November 2006 accident in Bellevue, Wash., was attributed to inadequate design of the base. Recent high-profile accidents in the U.K., where there has been similar spectacular growth in the number of tower cranes at work and a similar growth in new entrants to the market, have also occurred during erection or jumping of cranes. Courses for erection and dismantling have been discussed within NCCCO “as part of future opportunities,” but recent

consultation revealed that a certification for signalers and riggers was a more press-ing priority. Rigger and signaler certifica-tions are now being developed. Most crane owners, including Morrow, AmQuip and Stafford Tower Crane out-source erection. They are aware that it is a safety critical operation, especially jumping (also known as self-climbing), and are aware that they cannot subcontract to just anyone. “For erection and dismantling we use Competition Erection, which specializes in that,” Patrick Stafford says. “It’s all they do. But I think there are a lot of inexperienced people erecting cranes.” He says that when

there is a shortage, often the only other option is to hire steel workers, who may not have ever seen a tower crane before. At AmQuip, Dennis Bates says: “We have three erectors that I’ve personally used for years and I know the guys. That helps too, having the relationship.” Sometimes contractors engage their own erection crews, rather than having the rental company organize it. In such cases, says Bates, “we are pretty selective on who we recommend to put our cranes up.” In all cases, a senior experienced AmQuip technician will be on site as a liason. A few crane owners, such as Heede and General Crane, retain control of the erec-tion, jumping and dismantling, rather than outsourcing it. At Heede, says Huntley, no crane is jumped unless the owner, Den-nis Kenna, or his son Michael, the head erector, is on site. “Michael takes charge of jumping. Nothing is jumped unless Mi-chael or Dennis is there.” General Crane’s Robertson says: “Jump-ing a tower crane is the most substantial alteration of equipment that there is. If we get to the point where we have to sub-out erection, we’ll make sure it is to people who know what they are doing.” Specialist erection crews typically cover a lot of ground between jobsites, work hard and at anti-social hours so as not to interfere with the progress of construction on site, particularly when a crane has to be jumped. Time pressures and overworking have been cited as factors in recent ac-cidents in the U.K., where even the most experienced and highly trained crews have made basic errors, sometimes with fatal results. Robertson says he makes sure his crews are never called out on a Sunday. “That’s our day to rest,” he says. So how-ever busy they are, they always get at least one day off a week. Despite good work being done across the industry, especially in the way of training, all these pressures add up. Increased de-mand, a growing number of new suppliers, and labor shortages combine to make tower crane operations an intense business. As a result, some industry veterans are fearful of a decline in standards. Vigilance is nec-essary all around. Manufacturers must be sure they are selecting high-quality dealers to bring the products to market. Working with well-trained and experienced crews must be a priority for crane owners. z


Business Issues

If you’ve been shopping around for a crane this summer, you already know the cupboards are bare. And the situation is not likely to improve for another year and a half, say dealers. While the waiting list for new cranes has been long for several years,

now used cranes are just as scarce. The demand has suppliers going mad trying to satisfy industry needs. “I talk to dealers all day, and we’re all just scrambling to meet people’s requests,” says Craig Welch, business development manager for Bigge Cranes in San Leandro, Calif. He says it’s that way across the board,

no matter the make or model. “Any crane that runs is in demand.” However, some cranes are a bit easier to get than others. Dealers say both hydraulic truck cranes and boom trucks have become more available as the residential construction market has softened. “This [up] cycle actually started with hydraulic truck cranes because the housing market was still in its boom,” says Don Bramer of Abco-Bramer Rental & Supply in Louisville, Ky. Though housing construction has leveled off across the country, the boom “has transitioned into more demand for cranes used for repair and upgrades to industry and infrastructure,” he adds. The demand doesn’t seem to be nearly as severe in boom trucks,

either, says Hugh Murphy of Crane Sales & Service, Omaha, Neb., who links this “soft” crane sector to the drop in residential con-struction. “I consider [boom trucks] to be more of a commodity item, geared to the slumping housing market,” says Murphy. It’s been decades since the crane industry has seen the perfect storm in the used market. Two key factors are among the many rea-sons for this high – or low, depending on your side of the cash regis-ter – cycle. Contributing to an already tight market is the scarcity of new cranes and the super-healthy global construction market.

Money in the bank Crawler cranes are the most difficult to find, say dealers. And the bigger they are, the harder they are to come by. Rough-terrain and all-terrain cranes are also in high demand. “The RTs are pretty hot, but the hardest-to-find cranes are the large ATs and large crawlers,” says Bramer. “The trend is bigger, even in the RT market,” he con-tinues. “Customers are requesting bigger RTs, crawlers and ATs.” Dealers across the country draw the same picture: “RTs are blistering hot,” says Welch. “The problem is everybody who owns them has them on rent so they’re not selling off any used fleet – us included.” The rentals are being scooped up by the energy sector for work on oil rigs and in power plants and on wind farms. They’re also dotting the landscape at road and bridge construction sites. “Crawlers are extremely hard to find,” says Welch, “especially 250 tons and above. They’re like gold right now.” While the energy sector demands large crawlers, the Gulf Coast region craves pick-and-carry products to handle steel and pipe, says Pete Gipson, south-central U.S. sales manager for IronPlanet, an online used equipment marketplace and auction based in Pleasan-ton, Calif. For these applications, even older, down-cab RT cranes, like Galion 150s are twice as valuable as they were three years ago. A positive three- to five-year outlook means used cranes will remain a valuable commodity, says Gipson. With demand out-stretching supply, that trend will continue. “Quality used cranes are money in the bank,” he says.

The rental shuffle Because they’ve got such valuable assets on their lots, many crane rental companies are slow to sell off used models because the rental market is booming right along with used equipment sales.

Bigge Cranes’ vast rental fleet normally would include a number of cranes earmarked for sale, but the company continues to rent the used machines as long as they can. “Right now I have four pieces for sale, but of those, three are currently on rent,” says Welch.

Dozier Cook, owner of Dozier Crane in Pooler, Ga., currently has 140 new cranes on order, and 60 to 70 cur-rently in stock for sale. “We have 15 to 20 cranes in our fleet that are all either sold or are contracted for rental. The reason there’s so many cranes listed for sale today on websites is because it’s not uncommon for people to advertise cranes for sale even though they’re still in their rental fleets.” In addition, rental fleet owners tend to “rent down” for a year or two and then sell the machine. The reason a crane is listed for sale is because if by some chance the owner can sell it in the next week, there is the op-portunity to replace it with a brand new machine with little or no additional investment. “I advertised a 2005 160G AT Tadano. As soon as it hit the market, we could have sold it 20 times. I’m get-ting a brand new machine in October, a 250-ton model and that machine will replace the Tadano for not a lot more,” says Dozier. “That’s the way the crane market’s going for everyone right now.” A boom of global proportions The used market is simply following that of the new crane market: high demand, lack of availability and high [market] values, says Gipson, of IronPlanet.

If it runs, they’re poring over it, says Craig Welch of Bigge Cranes, San Leandro, Calif., which continues to rent the cranes it would normally have earmarked for sale because they’re such valuable assets right now. Credit: Bigge Cranes

Many dealers blame the major demand for used equipment not so much on the lag time in new-crane delivery, but on demands outside the United States. They say countries in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America are “sucking” both new and used equipment stock out of the marketplace. In the U.S, the used crane market is also getting pinched by Canada and Mexico. “In the past, we’d be booming in the U.S., and Europe or Asia would be slower,” says Bramer. That balance kept the supply and demand cycle in check, he says. But, today, “the economy is booming in so many countries,” and that boom is creating bottlenecks across the world construction market. Because U.S. crane buyers have had ready access to used stock in the past, the effects are felt even stronger.

But for dealers, that can be a good thing, especially when orders come pouring in from across the world. At press time, Dozier Cook re-ported his yard had cranes that were destined for New Zealand, Ireland, Korea, Japan, and Ger-many. “We are selling to end users and equipment brokers around the world,” he says. Bramer says,

“We’re not selling overseas, although we do probably sell to brokers who are shipping overseas. And I think that has as much to do with the currency exchange rate as the overseas demand.” Dozier agrees, saying if a customer spends a million dollars shopping for a crane in the United States, it really only costs him 700,000 euros. Plus, he says, while North American crane buyers might shop for one crane for a specific job or a specific type of application, foreign buyers are scooping up as many of a certain model as they can on the spot. “I have eight crawlers right now going to Kuwait. The same cus-tomer bought five a month ago,” he says. “That’s 13 cranes, all crawlers. This guy spent three weeks here because he didn’t want to come over for each crane purchase.” He tells of an overseas buyer who purchased one of his truck cranes at auction for well above the asking price. “I had a Terex 40-ton, and I sent it down to auction in Orlando in February. We were pleasantly surprised that when the crane went on the block the bidding was so fast and furious it sold for a price greater than what we originally paid for it.” According to Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, this 1999 model crane was sold for $250,000. Selling in quantity like that, while a boon to dealers at the moment, simply creates a shortage at home. “I lose a crane deal a day because I can’t keep up with the demand,” says Dozier. And though they will always choose later-model cranes when they can get them, buyers are not as selective as they might have been in the past because of the current supply factor, says Bramer. “Some people pushing out older iron since it’s worth more now than ever,” says Murphy. Mexican buyers, in particular, are quick to take advantage of the situation, he continues End users are also buying aging cranes. Gipson of Iron Planet says many crane owners are forced to rebuild what they have because parts are more difficult to procure. He says some people hold onto old, tired cranes for just such unusual cycles as the industry is facing today. “They can refurbish those units and get them back in use, or they can rob components and parts and keep other units going. Crane users are a resourceful group. They’ll find a way.” z


“In the past, we’d be booming in the U.S., and Europe or Asia would be slower, which kept supply and demand in check.”

Syncrude Canada Ltd., based in Alberta, operates the world’s largest oil sands mining facility, according to its website, producing crude oil from the Athabasca forma-tion. Oil sand is a mixture of sand, clay, water, and ex-

tremely heavy crude oil called bitumen. From the particles of oil sand, which are coated with water and a thin film of bitumen, the company makes a product called Syncrude Sweet Blend. The process involves a lot of equipment, both for the daily mining operation and for maintaining that mining equipment. That’s where a fleet of 24 cranes comes in. At its two mining sites in Fort McMurray, the company processes hundreds of thousands of tons of ore to make the synthetic crude oil, which is distributed to different refineries in Canada and the United States. Syncrude’s crane fleet, which includes all-terrains, rough-ter-rains, and crawlers, is used primarily to keep the rest of the operation running. The cranes assist with maintenance and haul parts and com-ponents for mining equipment, including centrifugal pumps, heavy hauler truck boxes, large valves and piping. Because of the type of work the cranes do, they’re considered an important tool to support the core business of producing oil. “They’re not a production piece of equipment, they’re support equipment,” says Don Provencal, area supervisor. The fleet is comprised of five Grove crane from 65 to 100 tons; three 80-ton Tadano ATs; two Manitowoc 4100s and a 4000 crawler; and 13 Liebherr LTM ATs from 55 tons to 500 tons.

The mobilization challenge The ability to mobilize and demobilize the cranes is key to the success of Syncrude’s operations, says Provencal, who is directly involved with this process. While each type of crane has its place, all-terrain cranes represent the most economical lifting solution for the company. “The ability to drive [AT cranes] on public roads makes mobi-lization practical and cost-effective,” he says. In addition, ground conditions at the worksites are less than optimal, so cranes that can negotiate rough terrain are also important. “We have unique problems in the oil sand. The rolling resistance is phenomenal; it’s like driving in sticky sand. But, we have to drive in it to get to the shovels, trucks and slurry pumps.” The rolling resistance is hard on cranes, trucks, graders and their motors because it’s sticky all the time, he says. “Because of this, we have higher maintenance costs than the average taxi fleet that maintains a construction site or a plant on pavement or concrete.” The site is dotted with mobile shovels and hauling trucks. Syn-crude also has in place an extraction facility to wash the oil out of the sand and upgrader to convert the heavy oil into a high-quality light sweet crude. At the site, the crew mines, crushes, slurries and pumps the product to its plant. The cranes, in turn, provide lifting services for the crew that maintains the 65-yard bucket shovel and the 400-ton haul trucks. “Nothing can be manhandled,” says Provencal. “Everything has to be lifted. Our crane fleet assists the maintenance group in hoisting the different components including huge slurry pumps.” For instance, the pumps have to be taken out of a building, built [on the worksite] and then put back into the building. The cranes take the truck boxes off the haul trucks so they can be shipped to a welding shop, rebuilt and put back onto the truck body. The shovel bucket has to be taken off, loaded on track trailers, brought to the maintenance shop, repaired, brought back to the jobsite and replaced. “The cranes do a lot of traveling,” says Provencal. “Our base mine site is 15 square miles and they’re not highway-quality roads. So, there’s lots of mobilization and demobilization work involved.” And trying to do all of that traveling on a sticky surface tends to work against the life of a crane, but just how much remains a question. Provencal says the company hasn’t come up with an exact number to measure the effects of the harsh conditions on the equipment even though they’ve made an effort to. A harsh environment is not the only challenge Syncrude faces where cranes are concerned, reports Provencal. Attracting new crane operators continues to be one of the company’s biggest challenges in a growing industry requiring a large amount of skilled labor. Like everyone else, the company also faces challenges in obtaining new equipment. “The lead time for new equipment in our area is about 12 to 18 months,” says Provencal. “We have a practice of not purchasing used equipment. So, it becomes very important to plan and commit to long-term purchases.” z

VR90 - 36' lift height, diesel, 9000 lb, 48" Forks


Where rough-terrain cranes are concerned, 40 tons and up is where it’s at. Anything less than that is getting too small, says one end user. That’s one reason he snapped up two models of the Grove

RT540E when they were offered earlier this year. Filling the gap in the Shady Grove, Pa., manufacturer’s product line be-tween 30- and 50-ton models, the crane also fits the bill for end users. “It’s an ideal machine to put on a new-construction job,” says Dozier Cook of Dozier Crane, Pooler, Ga. “It’ll do just about anything on most any job.” Cook says he bought the cranes brand new when they became available because he had a spe-cific job in mind for the cranes. They’ve been a popular addi-tion to his fleet, as have his 35-ton and 50-ton Grove RTs, both 2007 models. With a four-section, full-power main boom that extends to 102 feet and has a maximum tip height of 110 feet, the crane has an 8’6” wide chassis. It is designed to provide optimal lift-ing capacity in a compact package. “That 540E is a nice-looking machine, and it’s got a good chart,” says Cook. “These days, 30-tonners are too small; 40-tonners are middle-of-the-road.” The E-Series cab has been updated with a modern frame design, reports Chris Bratthauar, marketing communications manager for the Americas, Manitowoc Crane Group, Shady Grove, Pa. “Inside the cab, multi-gauge clusters give the dash control panel a clean, automotive-style look,” he says. Features on the RT540E include improved ergonomics and electronic joystick controls. It also sports a 26- to 45-foot offsettable tele-scopic lattice swing-away extension that stows alongside the base boom. Its more efficient chassis design allows better ap-proach and departure angles on the jobsite, adds Bratthauar. “Market demand and voice-of-the-customer studies showed that the 40-ton RT was a necessary addition to the Grove prod-uct line,” says Bratthauar. Engineered for off-road construction projects of all types, the machine is ideal for “new-site” jobs, says Cook. “You’ll have them at sewage treatment plants, on condo jobs, any jobsite where you’re going from the ground up.” The cranes are a good choice for applications that involve unload-ing material, including steel, pipe and even steel buildings. They’re also used in general maintenance, Cook says. “It’s a handy machine because with it you can pick and carry a load where you can’t with other machines, like a truck crane. They’re really convenient in that type of situation.” The RT540E is equipped with 16-hp QSB 6.7-liter Cummins die-sel engine which is Tier III-compliant. It also has a new load-sensing hydraulic system that uses piston pumps for crane functions. Stan-dard on it is a graphical display LMI and anti-two block system with an audio-visual warning and control lever lockout. With almost 9,500 pounds of counterweight pinned to its su-perstructure, the RT also sports standard full-length steel deck-

ing with anti-skid treatment. It is engineered with a quick-reeve type boom nose composed of four Nylatron sheaves mounted on heavy-duty tapered roller bearings equipped with removable pin-type rope guards. Also standard is a Work Area Definition System, which allows the operator to pre-select and define safe working areas. Audio-visual warnings help avoid job-site obstructions should the crane approach the pre-set limits. Four hydraulic telescoping single-stage double box beam outriggers are designed with inverted jacks and integral holding valves. The outrigger system has three position set-tings and all-steel fabricated, quick-release-type outrigger floats that are 14.25 inches square. The RT540E differs from its European counterpart in that it is not CE marked. The crane was officially introduced in January, and deliveries began in February. z

Falling in Grove’s RT line between the 35- and 50-ton models, the RT540E, a 40-ton machine, was introduced in January in response to customer demand.

General Crane USA Growth Spurt Continues with 16 Liebherr Crawler Additions

In the past, Jim Robertson, managing partner of General Crane USA, Pompano Beach, Fla., said the five companies that make up the General Crane family have remained fairly low key. “We’ve stayed under the radar – but that’s all about to change,” he said, following last year’s major purchase of 20 Liebherr all-terrain and telescopic crawler cranes and 60 Linden Comansa tower cranes. And Robertson was right; the dynamics of the company has physically changed since last fall, growing north of its home state to Atlanta, Ga., and west to Houston, Texas.

The five companies that Robertson runs with partner Jason Retterath – General Crane USA, United Crane, Hunter Cranes, Merchant Transport and Cranes, and Las Vegas, Nev.-based Republic Tower and Hoist– operate separately with their own

management teams. “They each have their own niche,” Robertson said. But their needs were more or less the same: They required more machines to keep up with business.

Not only do the companies need more cranes for its existing projects and clients, but General Crane USA also is expanding into industrial applications, such as windmill erection, refinery work, and power plant construction. “We’re undergoing a major global expansion, adding mobiles to all our fleets,” Robertson said. With the new market segment at hand, he added, “We wanted to get back into the 100- to 300-ton crawler cranes.”

Since opening its doors, General Crane USA has owned just about every brand out there, but it has always owned a lot of Liebherrs. “Liebherr AT cranes are by far the finest product in the world – bar none,” Robertson said. Today, Liebherr AT cranes make up the majority of its mobile crane fleet.

With major purchases made on the AT front in 2006, Liebherr Nenzing crawlers are the cranes of the hour for the company, which relied on its experience with Liebherr all-terrain, telescopic crawlers, and the one Liebherr Nenzing crawler it had in its fleet

for the last five years – which Robertson said they love – to decide upon purchasing 16 new hydraulic crawler cranes from Liebherr Nenzing. “All our crawlers will be Liebherrs,” Robertson said.

Liebherr Nenzing crawler cranes have the longest boom and luffing jib combinations in the industry, which helps to make very long radius picks. Featuring high horsepower engines, Liebherr Nenzing crawlers provide a fast line speed and line pull, and they have the unique ability to luff and boom simultaneously with the load in a luffing jib configuration. Compared to its competitors, Liebherr Nenzing’s crawlers are production machines – especially when it comes to piece-count work, such as steel erection and precast.

From a safety standpoint, Liebherr Nenzing crawler cranes provide an extra safety factor that other cranes on the market cannot afford. For instance, a sling on an LR1280 was inadvertently cut by a forklift. The crane, which was hoisting 19,000 pounds of precast, was in a long boom and luffing jib configuration at a very tight boom-jib radius and did not lose its boom and jib. Although no manufacturer would ever endorse unsafe acts such as this, Liebherr Nenzing design and manufacturing culture is to build cranes that excel in every aspect and have the endurance to stand the rigors of the harsh duty cycle construction environments. This philosophy includes incorporating mast support arms that follow

the mast forward as the boom is lowered. These support arms and the ruggedness off the design of the mast, boom, jib and cranes superstructure resulted in the crane coming through the precast load loss incident virtually undamaged.

To date, General Crane USA has taken delivery of five LR Series crawlers – three 200-ton LR1160s, a 300-ton LR1280, and a 330-ton LR1300 – and has 11 more on order, including two 115-ton LR1100s, a 150-ton

LR1130, three 200-ton LR1160s, a 275-ton LR1200, three 300-ton LR1280s, and a 330-ton LR1300. According to Liebherr Nenzing, the LR1300, which is the latest addition to its product line-up, has out-sold all of its other models in its short existence. Robertson said it always incorporates additional equipment, such as luffers and derricks, into its crawler cranes. Upon delivery, these machines will go “where the need is,” he added.

Erection efficiency, overall maneuverability, and the cranes’ electronics, including the LMI system, were all features Robertson said he liked about the Liebherr Nenzing crawlers, but it is the all-around quality of the products and the Liebherr’s service reputation that keeps General Crane USA coming back. “We’re buying the Rolls Royce of cranes,” he said. “No one will argue with that.”

But will General Crane USA’s growth stop at the addition of its 16 new Liebherr Nenzing crawler cranes? Not a chance. The company will soon be making more major moves, with one to be named in the upcoming weeks, Robertson said.

TuffTronix’ motto is “When you need to be heard.” After doing some lis-tening of its own, the company in-tegrated hands-free technology into

the mobile crane industry last year, intro-ducing the Tower Crane Comms System. With the wireless tool, communication between crane operator and signal person requires much less effort and results in a safer, more efficient work environment. The Miami, Fla., company, whose com-munication products are designed for use in situations challenged by noise, weather, and obstructions, began to focus on the crane industry because of safety concerns and the need for better, clearer communication, says Michael Husson, who with Carl Boonstra founded the company. The product, intro-duced last fall, has already been upgraded. “The driving feature is totally wireless and totally hands-free,” says Husson. “The crane operator can focus more on what he’s doing, and the signalmen don’t have to worry about the safety situation or being inconvenienced by that extra piece of equipment.”

Hopping means no hauling Tower crane communications typically involves two-way radios powered by cables running down the crane tower from the cab, and the signal person has to haul the cables throughout the jobsite. The half-duplex two-way systems also require the operator and signal person to push a button to talk. An alternative to the standard technology, TuffTronix’ headset-based system involves no cables, and requires no setup. It can be packed up, transported to the jobsite, at-tached to a hardhat, and the operator and signal person are ready to go. The system utilizes 80215 Blue Tooth tech-nology on an unlicensed frequency-hopping spectrum, which requires no licensed two-way radio frequencies. It allows the crane op-erator and the signal person to communicate in a full-duplex conference call at the push of a button, says Boonstra. The signal person wears a wireless headset integrated into his or her hardhat. According to product literature, the

headset has built-in hearing protection, and is equipped with a noise-cancelling micro-phone that allows the signal person to work hands-free. The crane operator communicates via stan-dard microphone and speaker. Able to initiate or end the call simply by pressing a foot pedal, he or she can maintain contact with crane controls all the time. The operator is able hear the signal person clearly even in the noisiest construction site. “And, it’s expandable from two to six people, depending on the jobsite and what’s needed,” says Boonstra.

Hands-free, box-free Husson reports the company has made sig-nificant changes to the system since it was introduced last fall. Originally, a central com-puter, mounted in the crane cab, relayed infor-mation between the operator and signal per-son. But the central box has been eliminated so that the system “is the only wireless hands-free communication on the planet,” he says. “This is a safety-driven invention and the special thing about it is you can connect up to

six users that have full duplex communication, up to 100 yards between users,” says Husson. The system is significant for cranes in a blind lift or in a situation where weather or obstructions are a factor. With the Crane Comms system, the signal person does not have to worry about pulling cable around or having a line of site to the crane operator. “We’re in Miami, where there are very tall cranes which have to make lifts on the other side of the building [from the crane’s loca-tion],” says Boonstra. “Rather than relying on hand signals, our system allows communica-tion among several people scattered in differ-ent areas all watching to make sure the load gets moved safely.” Plus, he says, the headsets act as repeaters. If a crane operator is lifting something behind him and can’t hear well, he can move one headset in front of another. “The key is it’s not a line-of-sight system. Our system has the ability to go through a true range of up to 1,000 meters,” says Husson. “We feel this will make the job-site so much safer, so we’d like to see the insurance industry take note of that.”

Lending an ear At press time, the newest version of the Tower Crane Comms was in field test-ing. Working with Jeff York of Signal-Rite LLC, TuffTronix was running the system through its paces in California. York, who offers signal person training classes, says he likes the product as an alternative to stan-dard two-way radio technology in training classes because it is fully voice-activated. “Guys signaling the crane have one task they have to perform. Typically with a two-way radio, they have to hold something in one hand while they’re doing something with the other hand. It takes away from the training.” He says though some crane operators haven’t yet embraced the headset style, oth-ers consider it an efficient operations tool. “There are a lot of instances where the crane operator really needs to hear the crane. With this system, you don’t get all the [back-ground noise]. If somebody’s rattling bolt nuts or running a jackhammer, it’s muffled.” z

Lube-a-boom®

At Crane Rental and Rigging we have used lots of different

greases in the past to find the right grease to keep our booms sliding smooth. We found LUBE-A-BOOM® to perform to our standards in the heat as well as the

severe cold. We tested LUBE-A-BOOM® on our Grove GMK 5180 and

LTM1400 Liebherr. We found it to outperform any previous

greases. We now use the product company wide and have not seen any problems

with boom wear pad wear and we have not had to re-grease

as frequently as before.Dennis Brockhaus

A Tribute to What You Do When You're Not at Work

By Tracy Breen

T reestand hunting is by far the most popular way to hunt big game animals, especially whitetail deer. Advantages to hunting deer from an elevated plat-

form include concealing hunters and mini-mizing their scent. There are many styles of treestands. Although some are more versatile or more easily concealed than ladder stands, this type remains popular because it offers a safe method for hunting from an elevated po-sition. According to Tim McGehee of Loggy Bayou Stands, ladder stands make up about half of all treestand sales. Now more than ever, companies are producing models that are lighter weight and easier to conceal.

safety first Ladder stands are safer than other styles because once they are positioned in a tree, they are sturdy and easy to climb. There is no need to stretch your legs to get from one peg to the next and there’s no climber to come loose. The chances of falling or getting hurt are minimal. Ladder stands are also often more comfortable than other stands, with large platforms and padded seats. In the past, one of the biggest drawbacks of the traditional ladder stand was that it wasn’t high enough; most only measured 10 to 12 feet when fully erected. But manufacturers have recognized this need, and now ladder stands reach 15 to 20 feet. Extensions are also available. Today, most stands are made from light-weight aluminum, and it is possible to get a ladder stand that weighs less than 100 pounds. When strapped on your back, these ladders feel fairly light and can be easily transported. Some ladder stands weigh as little as 25 or 30 pounds, making them al-most as light as a climbing-style stand. Most ladder stands can also be broken into three or four sections that make setting them up quick and transporting them even easier. If a typical ladder stand is too cumber-some for your liking, some companies make small sections of ladder that strap to the tree. Simply bring a hang-on style stand into the woods and use these small sections of ladder to get into the tree. The small lad-der sections fit against the bark so they are

more hidden than a conventional ladder. There is no doubt hanging a ladder stand is more difficult than any other style of stand. In fact, the National Bow hunters Education Foundation recommends having three adults present when putting up a ladder stand. If you don’t have three buddies with you, make sure the base of the ladder is secure before climb-ing up to attach the stand to the tree. Most ladder stand accidents occur when hunters climb up to attach it to the tree and the whole stand falls backwards, resulting in an injury. Once a ladder stand is secured to a tree, it is by far the safest and quietest way to hunt. To minimize sound even more, hunters may put small sections of rubber tape or mole-skin on the ladder steps.

Concealing the stand There is no question that when hunting from a ladder stand, hunters often feel like

they are sitting out in the open, but there are ways to minimize the chances of being seen by deer. Here are some suggestions. Never strap a ladder stand to a single tree that doesn’t have a fair amount of trees around it to help break up the outline of the tree you’re in. For best results, find an area that has four or five trees close together. Strap the stand to the largest tree. The larger the diameter of the tree, the more the outline of the treestand will be broken up. Also look for heavy undergrowth near the tree base. If you find yourself in an area that has large trees but not enough vegeta-tion or small trees around it, you may have to improvise. Archery products companies make branch holders that can be strapped or screwed to trees. Branches should be placed up and down the tree near or on the ladder. A few branches should also be placed around the platform. Another option is using a treestand blind. In some cases, blinds can make the stand stick out more than they help it blend in, but under the right conditions they can as-sist with camouflaging you. Blinds conceal movement, making them a great choice when hunting with kids who have a hard time sitting still for long periods of time. Most ladder stands come coated in some type of rust inhibitor to make the stand last longer. Sometimes stands are a drab gray; other times they are black. The stand may look great on the showroom floor only to stick out like a sore thumb in the woods because of its color. For example, if you are hunting in a dark hardwoods forest, a gray stand can look like a large white object from a distance and can be easily spotted by deer. To eliminate this problem, get a couple of cans of spray paint and paint the stand the color of the trees in the area. Additionally, some companies provide stencils of limbs, leaves and branches, which really help the ladderstand blend with its environment. z
