Deep South Crane & Rigging has added a 1,320 ton Terex Demag AC-1000, one of the largest hydraulic truck cranes in the U.S., to its impressive fleet of cranes. The high-capacity machine represents the cutting edge of hydraulic crane technology and is now available to support power and energy projects.
The crane features 330 feet of main telescoping boom with a possible 535.8 feet of boom luffing jib combination and provides an additional solution in areas where space is limited and a conventional crane would require assembly over existing parts of the refinery. The crane also offers a variety of configurations and has a load moment rating of 3,000 ton-meters. This extremely strong and versatile machine can be used in multiple industry sectors including refining and chemical plants as well as windmills.
"The Terex AC-1000 was built to meet industry demand for high-capacity cranes able to work in a limited area,” stated Jeremy Landry, Project Manager at Deep South Crane & Rigging. "Its ability to handle significant weight at an extreme tip height will allow versatility in planning jobs. We are proud to add this equipment to our fleet as a state-of-the-art solution to meet our customers’ needs.”

A High Pressure Exchange

Assembling the 1,500T VersaCrane™ TC-24000 off site and moving it via SPMT saved this client 15 days of downtime and allowed the refinery unit to run at full capacity until unit shutdown. During the scheduled outage, Deep South was tasked to replace two coke drums, each weighed 452,800 lbs and were 19’-2” outside diameter and 96’-0” long and were comparable in size and weight to the old drums.
