No Easy Task

Due to the location of this project at 640

N. Wabash, Chicago only granted us a

15 hour window to get all the hoisting

done and be off the street. “This is a

small window for us to set up and break-

down a 500 Ton crane with luffing jib.”

said Eric Lucas, Salesman and Engineer

for Imperial Crane. The crane was

configured with 154’ main boom and

138’ luffing jib to handle 15,000 Lbs.

while working at 140 Ft. load radius.

We used our Liebherr LTM 1400.

F. E. Moran was the Mechanical

Contractor on the project. “I would like

to thank Eric Lucas, Wes Austin, and

their crew for working hard to get this

lift done. Incredibly, Imperial was able to

demobilize from the jobsite prior to 4:00

pm which avoided any issues with the

City,” stated Aaron Post, Project

Manager, F. E. Moran.

New Manitowoc 100 Ton Crawler Crane

Imperial Crane bought two new 100 Ton

Manitowoc crawler cranes to add to its

fleet of 20 crawler cranes.

This crane is perfect for one of our long

time customers, Fabcon. Fabcon spe-

cializes in setting pre-cast panels and

that crane moves around the jobsite

great. “Fabcon usually has at least three

crawler cranes out on rent at any given

time” stated Bill Tierney, Vice President

of Imperial Crane Services, Inc., and

longtime Fabcon representative.

Tadano ATF-80-4 100Ton All Terrain CraneWhen Stresscore needed a crane that

could maneuver around a jobsite well

and still had enough capacity to get

their job done, we sent out our new

100 Ton Tadano All Terrain Crane.

Imperial is the Midwest Dealer for

Tadano. When we first took on the

Tadano Dealership ten years ago, we

had five in our fleet and sold one in the

first year. Now we have over 50 in our

fleet and sold 10 last year. Our parts

department is one of the most state of

the arts parts departments in Chicago.

“Tadano is the number one crane sold

in the world and is quickly becoming

the number one crane sold in North

America” stated Lance Bohne, Co-owner

of Imperial Crane Services, Inc.

Imperial Crane has 30 new Tadano’s

ordered for 2008. The cranes range

from 30 Ton to 80 Ton for Rough Terrain

Cranes and from 100 Ton to 400 Ton All

Terrain Cranes. Because of the backlog

for Tadano cranes that is all we could

get for 2008. We have another 30 cranes

coming for 2009.

Max Reach for 360 Ton Liebherr

Imperial’s 360 Ton Liebherr needed all

of its 197 feet of main boom to set an air

conditioning unit for Voris Mechanical.

The crane was working at a 180 Ft.

radius with 15,000 Lbs.

Having 200 Ft. of boom on a crane can

save a customer thousands of dollars

buy not having to put the jib on the

crane. The job was at Manheim Middle
