Methanol plant reconstruction showcases blockbuster crane dedicated to southern states

After 60 years, Chicago’s Mile Long Bridge is getting a rebuild

Atlanta’s busy I-285/SR 400 interchange gets a remake with an assist from the ALL Family of Companies on critical lifts

The Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 is gaining new fans for its capacity, reach, and versatility—this time in the Hoosier State, prompted by a recent bridge project near Indiana University Northwest.

Cranes and bulldozers rule different realms: one, the air and the other, land. So it’s not every day they collaborate on setting a bridge, but they did just that for a temporary cantilever bridge in Aurora, N.C., earlier this year.

To perform any job correctly, it’s important to have the right equipment. Even better if one tool can do many things. In the heavy lift industry, a versatile piece of equipment can have a positive effect on a job’s safety, productivity, and cost. ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. of Cleveland, a member of the ALL Family of Companies, recently proved this point using a Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1 mobile crane with VarioBallast® on the Uhler Conveyance combined sewer project in Akron, Ohio.

In the past decade, Orlando, Florida, has been in a near-constant state of road construction. State and local governments are tasked with staying ahead of the transportation needs of a swelling residential population and a year-round flood of tourists.

Rehabilitating “the old bridge” connecting Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, is such a huge undertaking that it has earned the nickname “The Big Lift.”

Widening a highway includes widening and replacing bridges, and for that, cranes are in high demand.

Built circa 1921, Pittsburgh’s Beechwood Boulevard Bridge, known locally as the Greenfield Bridge, underwent rehabilitation in the 1980s.

An hour northwest of Madison, U.S. 12 in Baraboo connects Dane and Sauk counties to the interstate system. In 2011, work began on the new four-lane Baraboo Bypass off U.S. 12. The bypass is being constructed in two phases: the 5.7-mile north section of the bypass was completed in 2011, and the 5.4-mile south section is under construction, to be completed in 2017.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is in the midst of a two-year, $77 million project to address deteriorated bridge conditions and increased congestion along Interstate 96 at the U.S. Highway 23 interchange in Livingston County.

The year was 1958. The National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) was formed. The iconic '57 Chevy celebrated its first birthday. And two, two-lane bridges on U.S. Highway 10 were built to cross what would be Interstate 75 in Bay County, Mich. That was the last time these structures were replaced.
