Skagit Crane Provides

Improved Fuel Economy —Literature Available

A new capability and improved fuel economy are now available to users of the model 343 ped- estal crane manufactured by

Skagit Division of Continental

Emsco, Sedro-Woolley, Wash. The capability feature is provided by an optional remote-control con- sole that allows an operator to better position himself during operations. This is especially im- portant when lifting operations are difficult and/or when wave motion demands more precise timing for raising the lowering loads. This capability is available for all Skagit pedestal crane mod- els.

The improved fuel economy of the model 343 is achieved by using a smaller diesel engine than the one specified for Skagit's original units. Field testing proved the design of the crane's hydraulic system to be so effi- cient that the required operating results are achieved using the lesser horsepower engine.

Skagit's pedestal crane was de- signed and engineered totally to operate in an offshore environ- ment. The 35-ton-capacity model has the right combination of per- formance features to pick and spot loads with the strength, re- sponse, control, and efficiency re- quired in offshore work.

The remote control unit con- sists of a portable panel that duplicates the controls and indi- cators in the operator's cab. An umbilical cord connects the crane to the remote control panel. The crane can be operated either re- motely or from the crane oper- ator's cab, but as a safety meas- ure, not at the same time. The console measures approximately 1 foot by V/-2 feet, weighs about 25 pounds and has shoulder straps so the operator has use of

Why Washington?

Washington State has over seven national forests, two major mountain ranges and a seemingly endless assortment of lakes, rivers and beaches Our state is a prime area for uncrowded skiing, hiking, fishing and other outdoor activities. The mild climate makes many of these activities practical on a year round basis.

Why Seattle?

Seattle offers a blend of business, culture and sports activities. One of

America's "most livable cities," Seattle is located between the Olympic and

Cascade Mountains. It offers water sports, over 400 parks, three large lakes, theaters, restaurants, excellent schools, "old fashioned" real estate values and eight professional sports teams.

Why Lockheed?

Lockheed Shipbuilding is small enough to provide a working environment of informality, personal contact and supportive co-workers.

The accent lies on responsive management which prides itself upon respecting the value and importance of each employee. Lockheed holds a contract from the U.S. Navy to build the first of a new class of both his hands during remote operations. Fuel consumption, ac- cording to Skagit's engineering department, should now be 20 to 25 percent less than the earlier original unit, depending on the individual operator's technique and other application variables.
