On the job with the SL4500

The SL4500 crawler crane was recently used in moving a vessel that weighed 202.5 tons.

With our large and diversified fleet of resources, Sterett Crane and Rigging supplied the project with multiple types of equipment, all operated by our highly skilled and experienced team. Besides the SL4500 crawler crane, the move required 16 lines of platform trailers, 800-ton gantries and a teleboom forklift.

The SL4500 was used as a tall crane to lay the vessel on the platform trailers, whose low deck height and exceptional maneuverability were key to transporting the vessel along a route with tight turns and overhead pipe racks. The vessel was relocated to the laydown yard where it was offloaded by our 800-ton gantries.

Sterett Crane and Rigging operators worked closely with the contractor, plant engineers and safety personnel to successfully moving the vessel to its intended destination.
