Sterett Crane is proud to have played a key role in the construction of the new Highway 63 Flyover in Columbia, Missouri, supporting critical infrastructure improvements that will serve the region for years to come. Our team was selected to handle the precise setting of bridge girders, a phase of construction that demands experience, coordination, and dependable equipment.
Project Overview
Bridge girder setting is one of the most critical stages of highway construction. Each lift requires exact placement, detailed planning, and seamless execution to maintain safety, schedule, and structural integrity. For the Highway 63 Flyover, Sterett Crane worked closely with project partners to ensure every girder was set accurately and efficiently.
The Equipment: LTM 1220 and LTM 1250 Mobile Cranes
To meet the demands of the project, Sterett Crane deployed two trusted mobile, all terrain cranes from our fleet:
These mobile cranes provided the lifting capacity, reach, and maneuverability needed for bridge construction in an active roadway environment. Their versatility allowed our operators to complete multiple picks while maintaining tight tolerances and consistent productivity.
Precision on Every Lift
Sterett Crane’s experienced operators and rigging crews executed each girder set with precision and care. Detailed lift planning, constant communication, and strict safety protocols ensured smooth operations from the first pick through final placement.
Strategic crane positioning and coordinated execution helped keep the project moving forward while minimizing impacts to surrounding construction activity and traffic flow.
