R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services Completes Rigging and Machinery Relocation Project

R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, a specialized contractor providing expert heavy rigging and machinery relocation services, completed the relocation of a machine shop for a prominent university in New Jersey (NJ).

The client selected R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son) due to their impeccable safety record, expertise and professionalism as well as their ability to economically move the equipment under a tight schedule.

The scope of work basically consisted of the moving of various machine shop equipment from one building of the campus to another nearby building. The equipment that needed to be moved consisted of one (1) Sheldon Lathe machine, one (1) Do –All machine, two (2) grinders, six (6) file cabinets and one (1) Quincy air compressor and associated air dryer.

To move the majority of the equipment, R. Baker & Son utilized a crew of three employees along with pallet jacks and a forklift. The forklift was a Hyster model with a 5,000 lb lifting capacity. The machinery was carefully rigged and moved to the other building and then set in their specified locations.

The Quincy air compressor provided R. Baker & Son with a bit of challenge as it was located in the basement and the compressor was wider than the door openings. R. Baker & Son dismantled the compressor by removing the tank from the rest of the compressor components and then carefully rigged these items out of the basement using skids, cables, rigging equipment and the forklift. The compressor parts were then brought to the other building and then re-assembled.

The project was completed in two days without incident or injury. All equipment was moved to the nearby building without any damage.

R. Baker & Son Completes Relocation and Installation of Intrepid Brass Propeller

R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services, an expert rigging, demolition, machinery moving and equipment relocation contractor, recently completed the relocation of the USS Intrepid’s propeller at the USS Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York.

Under a previous contract, R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son) had previously staged the propeller while a steel display frame was being fabricated. The propeller is solid brass, weighs 28,000 lbs and is 15 feet 6 inches from blade tip to blade tip.
This next phase of the project required R. Baker & Son to lift the propeller from a horizontal position into a vertical position and mount the propeller onto the frame. The frame then needed to be relocated to another part of the carrier for permanent display.

To accomplish this task, a 5 man expert rigging crew was mobilized to the site. In addition, a 5,000 lb Hyster forklift, two (2) scissor lifts, chain blocks and other various rigging equipment were delivered to the site.

Utilized the various rigging equipment, the R. Baker & Son rigging crew lifted the 29,000 lb propeller from a horizontal position into a vertical position. Because the propeller was located in the bay of the carrier, there was very little headroom and the crews only had only about 6 inches of clearance once the propeller was stood straight up.

Once in a vertical position, the propeller was held in place via chain blocks while a 3,800 pound shaft was inserted. Once the shaft was in place, the assembly was then carefully landed onto the steel display frame.

The entire frame and propeller assembly then needed to be moved approximately 150 feet to its final location. In order to accomplish this, the epoxy floor first had to be protected with hardboard. Following protection of the floor, R. Baker & Son’s expert rigging crews utilized several 15 ton Teflon skates along with the 5,000 lb forklift to carefully move the assembly to its final location.

The project was completed within the 1 day timeframe set by the client. The project was incident and accident free. For more information on R. Baker & Son’s capabilities and projects completed, visit www.rbaker.com

R. Baker & Son Completes Critical Installation of Generator for Private Client

R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services, an expert rigging, machinery moving and equipment relocation contractor recently completed the rigging and rough setting of a 4,000 lb backup generator for a private client in New Jersey.

R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son) was contracted by a private client to offload, rig and set a 4,000 lb generator onto a concrete pad. The client contracted R. Baker & Son to perform the work due to their impeccable safety record (EMR 0.79), professionalism and cost effectiveness.

Prior to the commencement of work, R. Baker & Son conducted several evaluations and the development of a critical lift plan. An evaluation of the area where the crane and equipment would be placed was conducted to ascertain ground stability and the potential for underground utilities. The weight of the generator was also considered to determine proper selection of necessary slings and associated rigging equipment. Based on the weight of the generator and the calculation of height and radius from center pin of crane to desired placement of generator, R. Baker & Son determined that the appropriate sized crane needed to be a 50 ton hydraulic crane
The work began by coordinating the delivery of the generator to the site with the mobilization of the crane and rigging crew. The project needed to be completed in one day so timing was crucial.
R. Baker & Son mobilized a three (3) man expert rigging crew along with a 50 ton hydraulic crane to the site. In addition, ancillary rigging equipment (shackles, nylon straps, etc.) and safety equipment (fire extinguishers, safety kit, etc.) were also delivered to the site.

The flat bed truck delivering the generator and the rigging crew along with crane were expertly coordinated to the site and all arrived on time in the morning. The generator was then carefully lifted from the flatbed and then carefully placed onto the concrete pad. The generator was rough set.

The project was completed within the 1 day timeframe set by the client. The project was incident and accident free. For more information on R. Baker & Son’s capabilities and projects completed, please visit www.rbaker.com

Historic Look Back at Large Rigging and Equipment Moving Project for R. Baker and Son

The following story is an historical look back at one of R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services larger rigging accomplishments. For more details and photographs go to http://www.rbaker.com/rigging.php

During the early hours on a clear September Saturday morning with the majestic downtown Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, a new chapter unfolded on the flourishing Jersey City waterfront. The landmark Colgate clock, which was originally mounted on an eight-story manufacturing building built in 1924. Standing seventy feet high and fifty-four feet wide is the world’s largest working vertical face clock as noted in the Guinness Book of World Records. The clock was moved to its new location where it will continue to provide the Metropolitan area and Hudson River travelers with the time of day and an unforgettable site for years to come.

The Colgate-Palmolive Company, in taking great care to preserve the historic harbor landmark and keep it running during the harbor front redevelopment of the firm’s 34-acre site mandated that the giant clock and adjacent 90 by 60-foot billboard be relocated and up and running within a 48 hour period to minimize the length of time the clock would out of service.

To accomplish this monumental feat, the operation's logistics and rigging were entrusted to R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services of Staten Island, New York. To protect the clock’s complicated and sensitive mechanisms and meet the overall project goals, R. Baker & Son decided to move both the sign and clock and its 70-foot high steel frame in one piece rather than dismantle and reassemble them.

R. Baker & Son went to great lengths during the planning stages to assure that all concerns and aspects of this complicated project were addressed. A structural survey was performed and an engineered rigging and lifting plan was developed. Plate bearing capacity tests over the course, which the crane was to travel, were performed. Wind speed was charted for a period of two weeks prior to lift. Precise calculations were developed in order to determine static load strength to determine the exact pick points to accomplish a perfectly level lift in order to walk the two structures to their new location.

R. Baker & Son utilized numerous specially manufactured spreader bars and rigging systems in order to lift and walk these massive structures, utilizing a 250-ton conventional crane along with a 150-ton hydraulic assist crane. To perform this delicate transfer R. Baker & Son coordinated the services of dozens of highly qualified personnel made up of iron workers, engineers, electricians, operators and local law enforcement officers.

Upon final setting and field certification of welds and anchoring systems a post inspection analysis was performed to verify that all aspects of the project were performed to the highest standards of quality. With work beginning at 6:00 am on Saturday morning and completed by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday evening R. Baker & Son successfully completed the goal set before them to have the billboard and clock up and running for the hundreds of thousands of metropolitan area commuters to set their watches by on Monday morning.
