lenge. The other key issue is finding per-
sonnel – ideally experienced, qualified and
competent – but some companies take what
they can get and train them as needed.
“There are actually tower cranes stand-
ing with no operators,” says Ronald Gray,
who established the Tower Crane School of
Phoenix earlier this year in Arizona. “They
can’t find anybody. I’ve never seen anything
like this in my life.” He adds that there are
also a lot of operators at work who lack
experience.
“There is definitely a skills shortage,”
confirms Chalupny. “It’s definitely a prob-
lem for the industry. But it hasn’t really
affected us. We have our own program of
bringing people in and training them. We
have our own training center.”
Morrow minimizes its staffing needs by
offering mainly bare rental, and it subcon-
tracts erection and dismantling. Others,
such as General Crane, offer full service
with operators and erection crews. While
staffing has “always been a problem in
Florida,” says Jim Robertson, managing
partner of General Crane, he finds it is
easier to find tower crane operators than
mobile crane operators. Even harder to
locate are technicians and mechanics. To
tackle this problem Robertson has recruit-
ed technicians from the United Kingdom,
Austria, Germany, and Canada. However,
the situation north of the border seems no
easier. “There is an immense labor short-
age in Canada, and in many cases, there is a
surplus in projects available and a shortage
in workers qualified to do the job,” says

The demand doesn’t seem to be nearly as severe in boom trucks, It’s been decades since the crane industry has seen the perfect
storm in the used market. Two key factors are among the many rea-
sons for this high – or low, depending on your side of the cash regis-

new cranes and the super-healthy global construction market.
Money in the bank

Crawler cranes are the most difficult to find, say dealers. And the
bigger they are, the harder they are to come by. Rough-terrain and
all-terrain cranes are also in high demand. “The RTs are pretty hot,
but the hardest-to-find cranes are the large ATs and large crawlers,”
says Bramer. “The trend is bigger, even in the RT market,” he con-
tinues. “Customers are requesting bigger RTs, crawlers and ATs.”
Dealers across the country draw the same picture: “RTs are
blistering hot,” says Welch. “The problem is everybody who owns
them has them on rent so they’re not selling off any used fleet – us
included.” The rentals are being scooped up by the energy sector
for work on oil rigs and in power plants and on wind farms. They’re
also dotting the landscape at road and bridge construction sites.
“Crawlers are extremely hard to find,” says Welch, “especially 250
tons and above. They’re like gold right now.”
While the energy sector demands large crawlers, the Gulf Coast
region craves pick-and-carry products to handle steel and pipe, says
Pete Gipson, south-central U.S. sales manager for IronPlanet, an
online used equipment marketplace and auction based in Pleasan-
ton, Calif. For these applications, even older, down-cab RT cranes,
like Galion 150s are twice as valuable as they were three years ago.
A positive three- to five-year outlook means used cranes will
remain a valuable commodity, says Gipson. With demand out-
stretching supply, that trend will continue. “Quality used cranes are
money in the bank,” he says.

Dozier Cook, owner of Dozier Crane in Pooler, Ga.,
currently has 140 new cranes on order, and 60 to 70 cur-
rently in stock for sale. “We have 15 to 20 cranes in our
fleet that are all either sold or are contracted for rental.
The reason there’s so many cranes listed for sale today
on websites is because it’s not uncommon for people to
advertise cranes for sale even though they’re still in their
rental fleets.”
In addition, rental fleet owners tend to “rent down”
for a year or two and then sell the machine. The reason
a crane is listed for sale is because if by some chance
the owner can sell it in the next week, there is the op-
portunity to replace it with a brand new machine with
little or no additional investment.
“I advertised a 2005 160G AT Tadano. As soon as it
hit the market, we could have sold it 20 times. I’m get-
ting a brand new machine in October, a 250-ton model
and that machine will replace the Tadano for not a lot
more,” says Dozier. “That’s the way the crane market’s
going for everyone right now.”

and South America are “sucking” both new and used equipment stock
out of the marketplace. In the U.S, the used crane market is also getting
pinched by Canada and Mexico.

cycle in check, he says. But, today, “the economy is booming in so
many countries,” and that boom is creating bottlenecks across the
world construction market. Because U.S. crane buyers have had ready
access to used stock in the past, the effects are felt even stronger.
But for dealers, that can be a good

Oil and Iron at Work in Canada

Tar sand mining operation creates a sticky situation for crane fleet
The mobilization challenge
The ability to mobilize and demobilize the cranes is key to the
success of Syncrude’s operations, says Provencal, who is directly
involved with this process. While each type of crane has its place,
all-terrain cranes represent the most economical lifting solution for
the company.
“The ability to drive [AT cranes] on public roads makes mobi-
lization practical and cost-effective,” he says. In addition, ground
conditions at the worksites are less than optimal, so cranes that can
negotiate rough terrain are also important.
“We have unique problems in the oil sand. The rolling resistance
is phenomenal; it’s like driving in sticky sand. But, we have to drive
in it to get to the shovels, trucks and slurry pumps.”
The rolling resistance is hard on cranes, trucks, graders and their
motors because it’s sticky all the time, he says. “Because of this,
we have higher maintenance costs than the average taxi fleet that
maintains a construction site or a plant on pavement or concrete.”
The site is dotted with mobile shovels and hauling trucks. Syn-
crude also has in place an extraction facility to wash the oil out of
the sand and upgrader to convert the heavy oil into a high-quality
light sweet crude. At the site, the crew mines, crushes, slurries and
pumps the product to its plant. The cranes, in turn, provide lifting

Spotlight: Cranes
Grove 40-ton RT is Handy for Pick-

and-Carry on New Construction Jobs
W
here rough-terrain cranes are concerned, 40 tons
and up is where it’s at. Anything less than that is
getting too small, says one end user. That’s one
reason he snapped up two models of the Grove
RT540E when they were offered earlier this year. Filling the
gap in the Shady Grove, Pa., manufacturer’s product line be-
tween 30- and 50-ton models, the crane also fits the bill for
end users.
“It’s an ideal machine to put on a new-construction job,” says
Dozier Cook of Dozier Crane, Pooler, Ga. “It’ll do just about
anything on most any job.” Cook says he bought the cranes
brand new when they became available because he had a spe-
cific job in mind for the cranes. They’ve been a popular addi-
tion to his fleet, as have his 35-ton and 50-ton Grove RTs, both
2007 models.
With a four-section, full-power main boom that extends to
102 feet and has a maximum tip height of 110 feet, the crane
has an 8’6” wide chassis. It is designed to provide optimal lift-
ing capacity in a compact package. “That 540E is a nice-looking
machine, and it’s got a good chart,” says Cook. “These days, 30-
tonners are too small; 40-tonners are middle-of-the-road.”
The E-Series cab has been updated with a modern frame
design, reports Chris Bratthauar, marketing communications
manager for the Americas, Manitowoc Crane Group, Shady
Grove, Pa. “Inside the cab, multi-gauge clusters give the dash
control panel a clean, automotive-style look,” he says. Features
on the RT540E include improved ergonomics and electronic
joystick controls. It also sports a 26- to 45-foot offsettable tele-
scopic lattice swing-away extension that stows alongside the
base boom. Its more efficient chassis design allows better ap-
proach and departure angles on the jobsite, adds Bratthauar.
“Market demand and voice-of-the-customer studies showed Falling in Grove’s RT line between the 35- and 50-ton models, the RT540E, a

At Crane Rental and Rigging
om
we have used lots of different
greases in the past to find
Lube - a - bo
the right grease to keep our
® booms sliding smooth. We
found LUBE-A-BOOM® to
perform to our standards
in the heat as well as the
severe cold. We tested
TMJDLKVTUHPUTMJDLFS LUBE-A-BOOM® on our
Grove GMK 5180 and
LTM1400 Liebherr. We found
it to outperform any previous
greases. We now use the
product company wide and
have not seen any problems
with boom wear pad wear and
we have not had to re-grease
as frequently as before.
