March, 2009:
This March, Advanced Crane Technologies will be mobilizing at the Priest Rapids Dam in Washington state to rehabilitate (2) 350 ton powerhouse bridge cranes. Grant County P.U.D. awarded Advanced Crane Technologies with a contract to modernize the controls on (2) seven motion bridge cranes including state-of-the-art flux vector controls on the hoists. This new system will allow one crane operator to handle the 700 ton loads shared by both cranes from the cab of one crane. We are also including a 15” color touch screen interface for the operator which will display loads on the hooks, hook height above the floor, control system status and alarms as well as other diagnostic functions. Also part of this contract are all new motors, brakes, festoons & operator cabs. Advanced Crane Technologies anticipates completing the rehab project this fall.

December 2008:
Advanced Crane Technologies successfully load tested the newly rehabilitated 50 ton tailrace gantry crane at the Lower Monumental Dam in Kahlotus, WA. The scope of our contract included replacing the trolley with a new 50/5 ton trolley, new controls, new power cable reel, new diesel generator, rehab of the gantry trucks & drive machinery. Advanced Crane Technologies also completely modernized the operators’ cab with new windows, HVAC, video systems and load cell displays. The rehabilitated gantry crane was load tested at 125,000 pounds.

August 2008:
ACT completed a contract to supply a new spillway monorail crane system for the US Army Corps of Engineers at its Gavin’s Point Dam located in South Dakota. This custom designed 10 ton capacity crane travels over 750 feet along the spillway, servicing stop logs and gates. As part of the contract, Advanced Crane Technologies removed the existing crane and conductor bar system; installed the new crane complete with a new 42’ spreader beam and replaced the monorail electrification system which runs under an active roadway above the spillway. This crane is similar to the one ACT supplied to the US Army Corps of Engineer’s Garrison Dam in North Dakota, last year.
