Automotive Process Unit Installation

Service:

Heavy Lift & Transport

Scope of Work:

Installed multiple 40,000-lb process units on second-level platform. Involved offloading, inplant transport, and precise placement.

Key Challenges & Solutions:

  1. Staging & Access: With a high volume of units arriving at varying times, strategic staging was critical. PSC collaborated with the client to establish a zoned/quadrant layout, ensuring efficient sequencing and access throughout the installation phase.
  2. Precision Lifting Requirements: All lifts were required to maintain ±6” level tolerance using all designated lifting lugs. PSC engineered and implemented a custom 3-beam modular spreader bar configuration to meet these lift criteria.
  3. Limited Undercarriage Access: Due to geometry and plant layout constraints, traditional rigging methods were not feasible. PSC and the client developed a custom transport frame, allowing the integration of two 3’ axles and a Traksporter mounting bracket, enabling precise navigation through the facility.

Equipment Utilized:

  • Liebherr LTM 1130 All-Terrain Crane
  • Tadano GR-1200XL Rough Terrain Crane
  • Traksporter System
  • Modular Spreader Beams
