We
were approached by xxx of Leibherr Cranes to assist in dismantling
one of the tower cranes at Greenore Harbour County Louth.
The 250 mm (12 inch) diameter pivot pins in the luffing jib
could not be moved and had to be removed using a thermal lance.
Time was of the essence as a ship was on its way to collect
the crane for delivery to Hamburg and if delayed a charge
of several thousand pounds a day would have been levied on
Leibherr.
A team was dispatched
to Greenore, the pins removed and the deadline met.
