One of the ways we can do that is by physically removing the construction staging zone to the barges. “We run a full sailing schedule with no cuts to service during construction. “We made a decision early on to do the construction while we are completely operational,” said Broch Bender, spokesperson of the Washington State Department of Transportation. The barges are on site not only for the Pacific Lifter and other heavy equipment, but as part of the plan to keep the WSF terminal and dock fully operational during the scheduled construction of five years. The crane sits on a barge that is about 9 metres high, with the total height of the barge and crane combined about 106 metres off the water. There isn’t anyone who has an equal machine in this area.” You can pick a load, turn the crane body and the load moves with you. It allows you to have full rotational capability while you’re on the boat.
It’s not a fixed position but sits on a pedestal and the revolver structure is connected to the pedestal. A lot of equipment in this industry has maintained its ability to do good work because the physics are the same. “At the time it was constructed, it was the largest crane in North America. “It was constructed in 1969,” Kustaa Mansfield, part of the marketing and business development team of Pacific Pile Marine said. It was brought this summer by tug and barge, starting its travel from the Gulf of Mexico, via Ensenada, Los Angeles and finally in Seattle. It sits on a 122 metres by 63 metres by 8.5 metres pedestal, with a capacity of 1,042 tons.
The Pacific Lifter is an American Hoist and Derrick 509 revolver. The crane will star in the rebuild of the Colman Dock facility, Washington State Ferries’ largest ferry terminal. The largest floating crane in western North America is now on site in Seattle. Topics: Colman Dock facility, Construction, ferry terminal, Floating Crane, Seattle
