Demag AC 160-5
Tiong Woon
For the installation of two large steel trusses over a wide road in the centre of Singapore (SG), Tiong Woon deployed a new Demag AC 160-5. It is approximately 02:00 hours, the load has arrived and the crane is set up in the middle of the road. The lifting operation will begin shortly.
It is a 160-tonne crane mounted on a 5-axle carrier. The outrigger base measures 8.135 x 7.5 metres.
The crane is powered by a Scania DC13, a 13-litre 6-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 405 kW (550 hp). In transport mode, this crane is 14.5 metres long, 2.75 metres wide and 3.955 metres high.
Here, the crane was deployed with the full 46-tonne counterweight. The counterweight has a slewing radius of 4.43 metres.
The crane is equipped with a seven-section main boom with a base length of 12.4 metres and a maximum length of 68 metres. Here, the main boom is extended to 32.9 metres.
The truss of approximately 20 tonnes is hanging in the crane here, and the transport combination can return to the yard.
After the truss is erected, it is placed on the foundation points.
By this time, it is approximately 03:30 in the morning.
The crane was positioned above a metro tunnel; to distribute the crane’s weight over a larger surface area, extra-large outrigger mats were used.
One day later, the second truss was installed on the opposite side of the pedestrian bridge. Once completed, this pedestrian bridge will connect a total of three office buildings.
The same crane was deployed in the same configuration.
A fine operation by Tiong Woon!
