5-17-24 N62478-24-Q-2688 Question and Answers 1

Question: "Crane must not exceed a single axle load weight of 22,650 lbs due to pier loading restrictions"; if the equipment is equipped with tandem axles, will theses 2 axles be treated as 1 single axle or as 2 single axles?

Answer: We only want single axle load because some of the piers in question only allows single axle loading, and does not have tandem axle load factors.

Question: Is there a specific axle spacing that would qualify the 2 axles as single axles?

Answer: To meet single axle requirement, the axle spacing needs to be over 6’ (Front and rear axle).

Question: Maximum lift is stated to not exceed 4,000 lbs, but there is not a maximum Lift Radius that this load will need to be lifted to nor a minimum boom length required.

Answer: Maximum 70’ boom, and 40’ radius to deliver brow and shore power cables.

An example of a type of crane that fits the requirement it would be a Broderson 15 ton crane or a Grove 18 ton crane.
