Projects - Machinery Moving

500-ton press

Our gantry is one of many methods we use to move and accurately set heavy machinery, such as this 500-ton press

 

Big Red Machine

Fenton crews handled the delicate job of moving and installing the “Big Red Machine” at the Great American ballpark

Fan Motor Replacement

This motor-fan replacement required many Fenton skills, including steel demolition, building reinforcement, fan-motor removal and new-motor installation, along with penthouse fabrication, assembly & installation.

 

38,000-pound electric motor

This 19-ton motor was moved using a series of specialized rigging maneuvers, which required removal from its original location, transporting 110 feet, horizontally, then lowering 200 feet, through a small opening to the turbine room floor below.

 

 

Boiler Project

Fenton trucked this 45-ton boiler system, featuring an economizer, silencer and ducting, to an opening in the boiler house. Our crew then used a crane and dollies to roll the boiler off the trailer and into place.

 

Mixing Pipe Skid Move & Installation

A large skid (12'x12'x60') was moved  by Fenton from the fabricators’ shop, transported to its destination, then moved into the facility for which it was built. Due to its extreme size, Fenton devised special lifting techniques to assure the skid would not bow or torque in any way.

 

 

Air-Dolly Press Move

A specialized air dolly, which works much like a hover craft, was used in this application to move a heavy press over flooring that otherwise might not have supported a “direct-weight” move.
