New Addition to Heavy Equipment Fleet 
 

Telescopic Crawler Crane

Water Delivery of C.D. Smith Construction Crane | Custom Built Telescopic Crawler Crane Addition to Heavy Equipment Fleet

 

One-of-a-kind LINK-BELT Telescopic Crawler Crane

Construction cranes are typically transported and delivered on semis. But earlier this month, we documented one of the first instances of a C.D. Smith Construction crane being shipped by barge. In this case, the best way to get the right equipment on the jobsite was using the nearby waterway.

This particular Link-Belt telescopic crawler crane is one of a kind, specifically built for C.D. Smith. It's a 100-ton crane that typically transports in only four semi-loads, whereas our other 100-ton cranes need five. In under three hours from the time of delivery to the jobsite, we can have this crane put together and flying materials, setting forms, pouring concrete and setting up to 45,000-pound precasts (the equivalent of ~5 elephants) without requiring an assist crane. 

Telescopic Crawler Crane Custom Built & Delivered by Barge for C.D. Smith Construction Fleet Heavy Equipment Operators.

Construction cranes perform hundreds of lifts over the course of a commercial project, and this one will be used daily. One of the benefits of this particular telescopic crawler crane is that it can work with the tracks fully extended, in the middle or fully retracted for tight spots. Additionally, most heavy equipment operators with the proper training and experience running hydraulic boom machines are comfortable on construction cranes of this size. Our operators will be putting in many hours on this one!
