The project, led by Cedar Rapids-based All Temp Refrigeration, contracted Emerson Crane Rental’s new Grove GMK6300L-1 crane for the job.

The 2.5 tonne air exchanger was lifted and moved to a radius of 70 metres using the 300 tonne capacity all terrain crane.

John Emerson, owner of Emerson Crane Rental, said, “The Grove all terrain crane performed flawlessly at a very long radius.

“It remained very stable with the full boom telescoped. The [team’s] expertise and dedication ensured the job was completed with minimum disruption to the plant’s operation and within a tight timeframe.”

Training

The Aspen Equipment Iowa service team and a Grove factory technician provided training to Emerson Crane Rental on using the crane.

Emerson Crane Rental has been a customer and partner of Aspen Equipment for over 15 years, acquiring numerous cranes from the dealer and rental house. These include the new GMK6300L-1, a National Crane 1400, two NBT60XLs, a Grove TMS9000E, a TMS9000-2, a GMK5275, and a GMK6400.
