Link-Belt recently announced that a pair of its RTC-80160 Series II rough-terrain cranes have been put to use lifting and removing existing steel and concrete expressway deck sections and replacing them with newly fabricated deck panels for the first phase of the Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway in Toronto, Canada. The 62-year-old,18-kilometer east-west expressway, which runs alongside Lake Ontario, will be revitalized in multiple phases. Phase one involves a complete replacement of steel girders and concrete for existing on-ramps and road decking, with approximately 400 sections of deck panel constructed and lifted into place. Crews will work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to finish the project as quickly as possible.
According to a site superintendent on the project, “We chose the RTC-80160s because of their agility and ability to turn under a small footprint. They are very easy to maneuver into place and are easy to set up. I also like where they put the counterweights. It’s very compact.”
