Overcoming Poor Weather Conditions in Michigan to Lift 12 Components
Using the 1,400-ton Demag CC-6800, Deep South set 12 components at a mining facility in Michigan over the course of 5 months. The components ranged in weight from 85,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds. Despite very poor weather conditions, this project was completed on time and in budget.
Pictured here is the first ore bin hopper, which was 100,000 pounds and set at a 282' radius.

Deep South lifted and set double-rail bridge truss sections weighing 800,000 pounds each along a railroad line that crosses the Tug Fork River at Hatfield Bottom near Matewan, WV. Our crews engineered and fabricated custom lifting beams suitable for removing the existing truss bridges and lifting the new bridge spans into place and used our 1,760-ton capacity Terex-Demag CC-8800-1 crawler crane.

For more than 50 years, Deep South Crane & Rigging has been distinguishing itself throughout North America. Founder Camile Landry has an intense appreciation for cranes, and he has always been intrigued by projects that require a higher level of skill and expertise. In the 1980s, he saw a need for a new generation of cranes. He envisioned a high-capacity crane with a smaller footprint and a tighter tail swing. He wanted to see a crane that could be transported easier than other heavy lift cranes.
