In August 2019, RMS Cranes & RMS Rigging successfully completed the move of a 300,000 lb transformer from one side of Colorado Springs to the other. Utilizing a 200 ton Jack & Slide System, the load was trans-loaded from rail to our 6-axle Goldhofer SMPT trailer, which then needed to be trans-loaded to our Goldhofer 12-axle dual-lane trailer for crosstown transport. The haul across Colorado Springs required night travel due to the overall size and weight of the configuration. The move took approximately 7 hours to complete the 10 mile journey as a total of 18 traffic lights needed to be moved with bucket rucks and light technicians. Once the load made it to the sub station, one more trans-load to the SPMT was required before a 500 Ton hydraulic crane offloaded and completed the project.

Check back here soon to see the project on video! Block 162 ProjectDenver, CO | 2018 - 2020In August 2020, RMS Cranes finished dismantling two Potain tower cranes at Swinerton Builders project Block 162 in downtown Denver, CO. The crew had 9 days to complete the dismantle of two 460’ tall tower cranes with a total of 7 tie backs. Each set of tie backs were 70’ long and had to be removed from the finished structure. We were able to successfully remove 6 sets of tie backs from the building with the tower cranes. The MR-608 dismantled the MD-485B and then RMS & Viking RCE, climbed down and untied the MR-608 to 135’ HUH and dismantled with a 300 ton Liebherr LTM 1250 6.1 assist crane. In order to complete this task in 9 days, everything had to line up perfectly. The crew worked endless hours and the camaraderie and teamwork was impeccable.
