ALL Family of Companies Adds 600-ton LTM 1500-8.1 Crane

Sized ideally to work in refineries, industrial plants and wind farms, the eight-axle crane has a seven-section telescopic boom that extends to 276 ft. (84 m).

To fortify its AT fleet, the ALL Family of Companies purchased the second largest AT crane manufactured today — the LTM 1500-8.1. Only Liehberr’s LTM 11200-9.1 AT crane (1,300-ton) surpasses the 1500-8.1 in size and power. With a rated capacity of 600 tons (544 t), it is the second largest mobile crane in the ALL fleet. Sized ideally to work in refineries, industrial plants and wind farms, the eight-axle crane has a seven-section telescopic boom that extends to 276 ft. (84 m). With the lattice jib, the Liebherr can reach a hoisting height up to 476 ft. (145 m) at a radius of 354 ft.

(108 m). The addition of a Y-guying system gives support to the boom, adding load capacity, particularly when lifting high but at a short radius. “This crane has an incredible chart and adds muscle to our Canadian yards — a territory that’s hungry for such a beast of a crane,” said Michael Liptak, president of the ALL Family of Companies. He added that the 600-ton crane will immediately go to work at ALL Canada Cranes & Aerials, serving its three yards. “Our Canadian operation has expanded with two new

yards — a second one in Ontario and another in Newfoundland and Labrador. We recently were awarded some major projects, making fortifying their fleet an easy decision.” Prior to this acquisition, ALL Canada’s largest mobile AT crane was a Grove GMK7550, a high-demand 550-ton (500 t) machine. The new Liebherr is highly anticipated and will fulfill a strong demand in the territory. For more information, call 800/232-4100 or visit www.allcrane.com.

ODOT to Begin Construction on Columbus Crossroads Project The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will begin a $200 million construction project to reduce congestion, improve safety and better connect neighborhoods at the Interstate 71 and 670 Interchange in Columbus this month. The public will first see orange construction barrels near the interchange when several ramps close. The I-71/670 Interchange is the first Columbus Crossroads Project, which will add a travel lane on I-670, construct 22 new bridges and 28 new retaining walls along with partial completion of two new urban avenues to improve access and mobility.

“The modernization of this interstate corridor through downtown Columbus is one of the largest transportation projects of its kind here in Central Ohio,”said ODOT District 6 Deputy Director Ferzan Ahmed. “Our goal is to provide a safer highway and reduce crashes and congestion.” Kokosing Construction Company of Ohio along with designer CH2M Hill was awarded the contract because they had the lowest bid and the best design proposal. The I-71/670 Interchange is a value based, design-build project, where the construction and design are combined in a single contract, which allows ODOT to deliver a better

quality project more efficiently. During construction, two lanes of I-670 and 71 will be maintained, but motorists should seek alternate routes or allow for extra travel time since many ramps will be closed, and there will be new traffic patterns on I-670 and for the Neil Avenue entrance ramp to I-670 east. A map of what ramps are open and closed during this first phase of construction is available for viewing at www.odot71670.org. For more information, call 877/381-7071.

The acquisition makes MH Equipment Ohio South the new authorized Yale life truck dealer in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky counties formally assigned to (YMH) Cincinnati. “MH Equipment Ohio South is excited to expand our dealership while developing new customer relationships within designated Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky counties,” said John Wieland, CEO of MH Equipment. “As a result of today’s acquisition, MH Equipment Ohio South will now offer both Hyster and Yale lift truck brands.” MH Equipment Ohio South is temporarily leasing YMH
