Insana Cranes chooses Link Belt for heavy lift
Pennsylvania, USA-based Insana Towing and Crane Service used its new Link-Belt ATC-3275 all terrain crane to lift a 73 tonne girder and a 60.7 tonne idler girder at North American Forgemasters (NAF) in New Castle, Pennsylvania.The two girders, plus a 56.2 tonne trolley, also placed using the ATC-3275, comprise a 172.4 tonne overhead crane installed as part of an expansion at NAF. The new overhead crane occupies a space that supports a 10,000 tonne Italian open die forging press that can process ingots weighing up to 100 tonnes.Rick Insana, Founder of Insana Towing and Crane Service, said, "Each machine has its own character and it's important for the operator to get to know them, and work with them to get the desired result. That outcome is the use of a smooth machine, capable of reaching its capacity in a safe manner. After making this lift, I'm happy with my choice of the ATC-3275."
