If I understand the comments on the following post correctly, the upper SPMT was used to move the crane in the buildings and the lower SPMT was used to move the upper SPMT between buildings. They used rail docks to in each building to load and unload the upper SPMT on+off the lower SPMT.
Ryan Boots posted two photos with the comment: "Never seen that before. cliffs burns harbor."
Scott Cuma: I was told they're moving the crane from 1 building to another in the Hot Mill

Mammoet 0:21 time-lapse video @ 0:11 We get by with a little help from our friends! Using rented trailers from Berard, #Mammoet crews provided an innovative solution to relocate an overhead crane weighing 200t in one piece at a steel plant in #Indiana. Our 500t gantry mounted on 12-axle double-wide #SPMTs carefully lifted the overhead crane from its current location, carrouseled 90 degrees, lowered the gantry and then drove the loaded crane out of the building. The grade elevation outside the building was just over 1 meter (4 ft.) lower than the inside floor elevation, so the SPMT/Gantry combination drove on top of a second set of 12-axle double-wide SPMTs using ro-ro ramps. This expedited the transport operation and eliminated the need to build dirt ramps to drive in and out of the buildings. The task was efficiently completed within the planned three days. Josh Pace: They did good. They may start carrying extra hydraulic hoses now though. Blew a hole in one and only by luck I was able to repair it. Their end fittings were different than what we have but their connections to fit one hose to another was the same so I was able to cut out the hole and crimp a new fitting on. Bill Kloss shared |
