catkom3 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I went for a little run in the car today,to Methil in Fife to try and get some photo's of one of the biggest crawler cranes in the World,the demag CC12600 capable of lifting 1600 tons at 22meters,it's next nearest rival can only achieve that at 10meters,but it's real ability is it can still lift 200tons at 102meters i dont think there is another crane capable of doing that,this is the second time this crane has been in Scotland and also the second time I've seen it,the first time it was at Clydebank lifting an oilrig onto the top of a ship,which subsiquently sailed down the Clyde only to hit the Erskine Bridge,due to security I could only get within about 400 meters to it,you get some sense of scale with the two guys in the centre, Any other day this would be a big crane,but not today, This I guess is what it will be lifting once everything is completed, Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Flipping good job as well!! Where does the crane normally live, Joe? Also, how many bits does it get transported in when it is broken down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Oh Tris,what a question mate,first Van Seumeren are Dutch,so lives in Holland,but like trucks they don't pay for themselves sitting in the yard,i do know when it was at Clydebank,it's next job was in South America,??,it normally travels by barge I think,each front boom section is roughly 10ft x 40ft = 3m x 12m but I think weight wise one rear section fits inside each front section, here are some good photos of it from a Dutch heavy lift enthusiast Jan VanWees,http://www.janvanwees.nl/Spanje/Spanje.htm and a pdf http://www.anthonycraneusa.com/loadcharts/Demag/Crawler%20Cranes/CC%2012600%201600%20Ton/CC%2012600%20Demag.pdf Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 trying to track down an ebay purchase. bought a new bumper for the c2, (bollard, don't ask) seller shipped it, to the right address, nothing has arrived, UPS tracking says it was delivered and shows a signature, (Not my signature!) so I do not know where the bumper is. Luckily my cousin happens to be a manager at UPS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All dealt with though leaving one very red faced and not speaking to me mind , hey ho grow up I say. I know the feeling Sean. I've had two members of staff leave recently after I told them precisely what I thought of their performances an behaviours. No great loss mind. ...today i've been doing exactly what I was doing yesterday, and the day before that. Not a right lot after a trip to Rotherham Hospital on monday morning.

Tractorman810 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 They should know better, I am no different when I am out side so why would I change in here , I will not just add extra products to a job so they can cover up just how slow they really are , not my problem they are bone idle at the end of the day, and when you decide 45 mins after your ment to start to arrive in the office and tell me your flexing off 2 hrs early, which he can no probs, when you actually knew yesterday , so we had time to rearrange the teams then , aaaarrrggghhh enough said , it's like dealing with kinder garden age people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS. Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 well its been my first week back since baby cameron was born, he arrived 10 days late, apparently he gets that from me , so been changing nappies and feeding him while carlys been getting a rest. So yesterday i started what was supposed to be a small job, the person im carrying out the work for owns a small plant company but decided it was to big for his largest machine which is a jcb 8020, told me on the phone its only 40 tonnes and the earths getting dumped up at the local farm, that was 160 tonnes ago, ended up taking my 3cx and 8085zts down, along with hiring a 9 tonne dumper, doesn't look nearly finished, and hate to think how much is still to come out, should have just stayed at home with cameron and let carly go back to work...would be so much easier!
