Overhead Cranes....by Reid Callaway
Atlanta Construction Art
Midtown Atlanta construction projects using huge tower cranes, crawler cranes and other heavy equipment progress at a rapid pace in the early part of 2017. Batson Cook, Holder Construction, C.W. Matthews, JE Dunn and other construction companies race to "getter done." Whether it is building or highway construction, things are on the move. Being a crane operator for many years gives me special insight into the problems and skills required to work heavy construction at this level. What a thrill it is to get to operate these massive machines! The power you feel as you move small leavers and huge weighty components move. Being part of a team to get projects completed and then being able to look back at them and see what you helped create is very fulfilling.
A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting them to other places. The device uses one or more simple machines to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed in the transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight, in the construction industry for the movement of materials, and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy equipment.
