August 24, 2016 - Maxim Crane Works is employing a fleet of Manitowoc crawler cranes on the new Miami Dolphins football stadium.

 

The job began with four 660-ton Manitowoc 18000s, each equipped with a MAX-ER that brought their capacities to 826 tons. Then the Newport, Ky.-based company added a 772-ton Manitowoc MLC650 to the jobsite. Often the cranes lifted together in tandem, with the heaviest load weighing 800 tons.

 

“This is a challenging project and the cranes are often working around the clock, 24/7 shifts,” explained Frank Bardonaro, president of Maxim Crane Works. “Having multiple cranes of these sizes with synchronized working speeds and qualified operating engineers were they key reasons we were able to secure the project.”
