Lifting Chiller Above Building in GIZA Egypt

Lifting 4 cooling rooms over a building in the Dokki area, Giza Governorate.
By crane: 200ton Gottwald.
Job Location: El Dokki, 4 Chiller Load
Weight: 12 tons, jib length: 42 m + winch 28 m - radius: 32 m.
This work was done more than 30 years ago
In Egypt at this time, no one was able to do this work
Except for our company and the Arab Contractors Company.
However, the workplace on Tahrir Street, Dokki District, Giza Governorate - is crowded with traffic
For this reason, a crane from our company was suitable for this work
We were the first in Egypt and we were the first in the field of cranes.
(Our history is long)

Detail
The boom carrier and crane carrier share a common level of detail. Underneath, the chassis has reasonable detail with the main transmission components modelled although it may have been difficult for YCC to get the information to achieve high accuracy. The wheels are excellent with detailed hubs (which are different on the driven axles) and tyres which have Michelin and the tyre details in the sidewalls.

The driving cabs set a very high standard and they look convincing, and the cab door hinges are a reasonable modelling compromise in terms of size. The wipers and mirrors are finely crafted, and the lights and number plates look great. Interior details are fine. Both carriers have tiny and delicate reflectors between the wheels.

At the rear the light clusters are also excellent and the warning notices and number plates add authenticity. The carrier decks have a high level of detail within the casting, and small metal wheel chocks fit into special holders.
The four stage telescopic boom is a very heavy piece of modelling. The structure is great with the corrugations in the walls modelled well. The decoration looks great, noting the imperfections mentioned earlier. Detail at the boom head is great with a hydraulically adjustable rear pulley block and anemometer. The pulleys are metal and very free rolling. As an additional detail two marker boards are supplied which fit into the boom head for when it is resting on the boom transporter.

Three different sizes of hook are supplied. They are metal and detailed with

excellent pulley

The boom foot is lifted by two massive hydraulic cylinders and these are all metal components. There is excellent hydraulic pipe detailing up the boom foot to the main boom connection point.

The operator's cab is finely modelled. Interior detail is very good and the work platform and handrails are metal and fine gauge. Work lights and an aerial add to the detail.

Four massive outrigger beams support the crane and these are made of metal and are heavy. Again there is fine detailing with hydraulic pipes and lines. The pistons have a smooth external appearance so look authentic. Heavy metal pads fix to the pistons.

The counterweight consists of a number of separate plates and these interlock together and are secured by tiny locking pins which look great.
The boom carrier has two lift assemblies which are modelled well and only perhaps the silver rivets would have looked better painted red. A red and white tow bar is provided. It does not have any connections and just rests on the carrier deck.
The crane carrier has the heavy turntable support modelled well with hydraulic cabinets and motors.
The crane body structure looks very strong and the connection points for the boom and counterweight have the hydraulic pinning system modelled. One amazing aspect is the degree of modelling detail in the area of the winch drum. much of it cannot be seen in normal view and is only properly visible from underneath. This includes a metal engine block which is a fine casting.
