Manitowoc has launched two new Grove all-terrain cranes - the five-axle GMK5150 and GMK5150L - at the bauma exhibition in Munich.

The 150-tonne capacity cranes have a compact design, with the GMK5150L featuring a 60 m boom and the GMK5150 a 51 m boom. The GMK5150L replaces the GMK5130-2, while the GMK5150 replaces GMK5110-1 in the company's product line.

Maximum counterweight for the GMK5150 and GMK5150L is 45 tonnes, helping the cranes achieve an overall load chart increase of 20 perecnt over the GMK5130-2.

Up to 10.2 tonne of counterweight can be carried by the GMK5150 in its taxi set-up, while the GMK5150L can accommodate up to 7.9 tonnes of counterweight in its taxi configuration.

The GMK5150L and GMK5150 are powered by a single engine, reducing their overall weight and allowing them to carry more counterweight, says Manitowoc.

Deliveries of the new GMK5150 and GMK5150L will start in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Scheuerle has developed a SPMT widening adaptor for high and wide loads, which is claimed will reduce the amount of trailers needed and the carbon footprint for specific transport projects.

The development, which was initiated at the request of Mammoet and introduced at bauma 2016 this week, makes it possible to increase the track width of a split SPMT - thereby increasing the width of the loading platform without the need to add more SPMT trailer units.

Scheuerle's new SPMT variation is quite literally split down the middle along its entire length. Double sets of articulated arms are attached to the inner walls of the two halves of the split SPMT and to runners that slide over a central tube down the centre of the SPMT. The central tube keeps the articulated arms aligned as they move to either increase or decrease the track width.

The split SPMT with a widening adaptor has a minimum width of 3 m and a maximum width of 6.4 m, which means that one row of split SPMTs can replace two rows of conventional SPMTs.

Furthermore, by removing the widening mechanism and placing it on top of the two reconnected SPMT halves, the width is reduced to 2.43 m, which allows the split SPMT to be shipped on a standard flatrack shipping container.

Mammoet says that the advantage with the new system is that it removes the need for multiple SPMTs to be connected side-by-side to create a wider loading platform to ensure stability, as is often the requirement when transporting high and wide loads with a high centre-of-gravity - such as large pipe rack modules.

The widening adaptor, which allows for variable spacing of split SPMT trailers, increases the width of the loading platform without the need to add more SPMTs and Power Pack Units (PPUs), says Mammoet.

The split SPMT with widening adaptor was tested and approved by Mammoet at the end of last year and the first units will go into operation in the first half of 2016.

ALE has transported seven engines and seven generators from Lardos to the South Rhodes power plant on the Greek island of Rhodes.

LE claims that the engines, each of which weighed 287 tonnes and measured 6.5 m x 14 m x 4.3 m, were the largest pieces ever to have been delivered to the island.

ALE used a variety of conventional trailers and SPMTs to move the heavy units 35 km through the narrow streets of Kiotari to the plant, where the modules were connected and installed using jacking and skidding systems.

The route around Kiotari presented several challenges en route, explained ALE, such as narrow streets, bridges, roads that needed reinforcement and overhead cables.

In order to overcome these challenges, ALE coordinated transport and routing designs, while working closely with the local authorities and utilities networks, meaning that the 14 pieces were delivered safely and on time.

The Netherlands headquartered industrial lifting and logistics provider Mammoet has purchased four Grove RT550E rough terrain cranes from Manitowoc.

The cranes have already been commissioned to start work on a large steel mill and other industrial plant projects in Belgium.

At less than 12 m long, 2.55 m wide and weighing under 29 tonnes, the RT550E offers the highest capacity in its class at 45 tonnes and the longest boom at 39 m, claims Manitowoc.

The five-section boom can telescope partial loads between any two boom positions. It can also be fitted with an 8 m fixed swingaway jib to extend its reach to 47 m.

Manitowoc states that the hoist offers a higher single line pull, increased speed and line pull speeds are improved by up to 70 percent compared to similar cranes in this class.

Wouter van Noort, managing director of Mammoet Benelux commented: "The RT550E is an ideal product for us with its small footprint and quick and easy set-up times." He added: "One of the main reasons we selected this crane was because it has the longest boom in its class, so we did not require an additional jib section. Additionally, because we are a rental company, we required a crane that was easy to transport to different jobsites at the lowest possible cost. Because of its compact dimensions, the RT550E was the perfect choice."

Emirates SkyCargo has launched a weekly freighter service to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

From Phnom Penh, cargo will be transported via a trucking network to reach other cities and regions in Cambodia, explained the airline.

"Cambodia's air cargo market is growing at a robust rate with Europe and the USA being key export markets," said Hiran Perera, senior vice president at Emirates SkyCargo.

According to Cambodia Airports, which manages the country's three international airports, the volume of airfreight shipments to and from Cambodia increased 14 percent in 2015 to 38,065 tonnes.

Emirates SkyCargo will initially deploy an MD 11 freighter aircraft on the new service, providing outsourced capacity for 80 tonnes of cargo. The aircraft's wide body will also enable it to uplift outsized cargo and carry larger consignments, says the airline.

Dutch heavy-lift specialist Mammoet and engineering consortium Techint-Technip, or CTTP76, are to assist with integration and lifting operations for 20 modules for the hull of a Brazilian offshore vessel.

The partners will provide expertise for  complex installation procedures on energy firm Petrobras’ planned P-76 Floating Production, Storage and Offloading, or FPSO, vessel.

Both firms will provide specialized heavy-lifting expertise for the transportation and lifting of the modules, which each weigh up to 1,935 tonnes. Mammoet will supply its PTC 200-DS ring crane for the lifting operation and the crane itself will be disassembled and transported from the USA to Brazil in containers.

Integration work will be executed at the Techint UOT offshore yard  in the city of Paranaguá in Paraná State, Brazil.

“Although Mammoet Brazil and CTTP76 have only just signed the contract, Mammoet’s large fleet and global presence make it possible to start mobilization immediately. We are very pleased with the award of this high profile contract and we look forward to working with the highly dedicated project team of CTTP76,” , said Michel Booden, Mammoet Latin America sales director.
