UK-headquartered transport engineering and heavy lift specialist Allelys has used its AK912 to complete its first project since the mobile crane underwent a full refurbishment.
HLPFI reported last month that Allelys had acquired the Gottwald AK912, but now the company has put the crane to use for the first time by lifting two generators and two transformers from a vessel onto a 12 axle, four file SPMT at the port of Sutton Bridge in the UK.
According to Danny Skidmore, chief operations officer at Allelys, refurbishment included every component being “rigorously checked, tested and replaced where necessary.”
Using a 41-m main boom configuration, the two generators – each weighing 365.9 tonnes – were lifted first, with the two 164-tonne transformers being transported subsequently. Allelys then used a 900-tonne gantry system to offload the units from the SPMT onto load spreading mats for temporary storage.
Allelys opened a third office in the UK, in Felixstowe, last month.
