Tadano ATF 400G-6 - Mayer
The largest crane of Mayer from Burgberg (DE), the Tadano ATF 400G-6, was on a nice Saturday used for a lifting job on a cheese factory. The crane just finished here the erection of the 118 tonnes of counterweight.
The outrigger base measures 8.9 x 8.5 meters.
The counterweight weights 118 tonnes and that has a 5.6 meter tailswing. The full counterweight weights 138 tonnes. The counterweight exists out of three smaller plates, of 7.5, 9 and 8.5 tonnes. Attached to that are two 11-tonne cheek weights and on top an 11-tonne wide slab. On top of the wide slab are two stacks made out of 10-tonne slabs, in total maximum eight pieces.
The superstructure is powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 926 LA, a 6-cylinder diesel engine with a 195 kW (265 hp). The engine poweres in total three hydraulic pumps to operate the crane functions.
The job was to install a new tank, that comes here already around the corner by a combination of Mayrock.
For the tilting of the tank was the FAUN ATF 60-4 of Mayer used.
The tank is now fully given to the 400-tonne crane and can be installed. The mass is approx. 13 tonnes.
The main boom is here extended 50.5 meters. In this configuration, the crane can lift maximum 54.2 tonnes to a 10 meter radius and 12.8 tonnes to a 48 meter radius.
The tank is installed on a radius of approx. 30 meter radius.
The 60-tonne crane was repositioned to assist by the installation of the tank.
After the tank was installed in a short time, the crane could be derigged. The Volvo FH 460 takes only a 10-tonne slab in the box.
The 4-axle Volvo FH16 660 with 5-axle semi low loader takes five 10-tonne slabs.
The 3-axle Volvo FH16 660 with 3-axle low loader is bringing the wide 11-tonne slab, the two 11-tonne cheek weights and the attachment frame.
The DAF XF 460 was pulling this time the 3-axle trailer with 25 tonnes of counterweight and the four outrigger pads. Earlier we have seen this trailer being pulled by a Iveco Stralis 560.
In the beginning of the afternoon could the crane alreadz return to the yard.
