    Shop Crane/Hoist build, need ideas!

    Something to also keep in mind is if you are using a chainfall or a motorized hoist, because a chainfall is a lot lighter than the same size air or electric hoist.

    Deep South Crane

    Thanks for the heads up on where the versa crane will be at, I'll have to drive by and take a look when they get it up. Any Idea of when they will lift the upper structure off of the coker?

    Deep South Crane

    The owner of the crane is http://www.deepsouthcrane.com/ I believe that their smaller versalifts are based on older Demags, but I think that they build the bigger one themselves.

    Deep South Crane

    This Versalift from deep south is in Beaumont TX on a turnaround right now to preform a 900 ton lift, they are replacing the vessel in the middle ( between the two booms ) with a new unit ( to the right of the versalift ) The lift is set for next week depending on weather.
