What crane configuration and lift sequence were used in a bridge girder placement?
Bridge girder placement typically uses twin crawler cranes in synchronized lifts or single large crawler cranes with tandem picks, following sequential placement from abutment to pier.
Bridge girder placement commonly employs twin crawler crane configurations for synchronized lifting operations. Two identical cranes, typically 400-500 ton capacity units, are positioned on either side of the bridge alignment to provide balanced lifting capacity and control. The cranes coordinate through radio communication and experienced operators to maintain level positioning throughout the lift cycle.
