Some of the most challenging lifts are not defined by size alone, but by the environment they are performed in. Recently, Sterett Crane completed a large cylinder change out inside a facility where space was extremely limited with zero room for error. The project demanded expert planning, steady execution, and experienced management from start to finish.
The Challenge
This cylinder replacement took place indoors and within a very tight footprint, surrounded by existing structures, equipment, and operations. Clearances were minimal, radius was restricted, and every movement had to be calculated in advance. In these conditions, precision is not optional. It is essential.
Planning Makes the Difference
Success on this project began before the cranes went on site. Our project management team developed a detailed lift plan that accounted for limited access, restricted headroom, and exact placement requirements. Every step of the process was carefully reviewed to ensure the lift could be executed safely and efficiently. As always, we are proud of our project management and lift planning teams, whose expertise, preparation, and attention to detail make complex lifts possible.
Steady Execution
With the plan in place, our operators and rigging crew executed the lift with steady hands and constant communication. The cylinder was carefully removed and replaced without incident, keeping the facility protected and the project on schedule. The operation was completed safely and exactly as planned.
