Here's a good one for you.As mentioned already, I was lucky enough to get in on the open day at the Liebherr container crane factory last Sunday. Here are a few pics.
Lots of interesting things.
Christy Lucey does the haulage of the giant pieces to Fenit harbour. Cranes are sent all over the world. They are currently building one for New York Port.
Plasma and Oxy Acet are used to cut very heavy plate. Plasma up to 20mm I think and Oxy beyond that.
The pic is some 40mm being sliced into pieces.
Magnets lift the big sheets with ease.
Robotic welder does the big welds. Hand welding used for small attachments.
They even cut the gears and cogs etc on site.
Lighter stuff like access platforms etc are sub contracted out to other firms in southern Ireland.
Cabs are brought in complete from Italy.
Generally, the container cranes have a life expectancy of 30 years, many last much longer than this.
Huge shot blasting facilities to shot blast the gigantic sections as they are rolled through.
I will do no bother.Tinny will be on another trip for steel :D:D
