Four Twin Cargo Cranes

Intercontinental Engineering-

Manufacturing Corporation (Inter- con) recently received notice from the Maritime Administration to proceed with the manufacture of four pedestal-type, twin cargo cranes. The option follows the ini- tial contract requirement for six twin cranes presently in process.

Singlely operated, each crane is rated at 30 long tons at 121-foot out- reach, and 60 long tons at 121-foot outreach when operated in dual (two single cranes teamed) mode.

All functions of the twin cargo cranes are electrohydraulically pow- ered.

One shipset of twin cranes will be installed aboard the Navy's auxilia- ry craneship T-ACS 9, with the remaining shipset on T-ACS 10.

Contract completion is scheduled for December 1989.

SHOCK ABSORBING, OIL SAVING

PIPE SUPPORTS —1/8" to 36" DIA.

No one can duplicate the field-proven performance of Stauff's complete line of pipe and tubing supports. Reported 40% faster to install than competitive supports, the Stauff Standard and Heavy Series provide maximum shock and vibration absorption plus greater noise reduction. Superior chemical resistance reduces the risk of line leakage and systems downtime, too. Available in a wide variety of tube and pipe sizes, versatile Stauff supports can be mounted in many configurations for single or multiple line applications.

Pipe Supports: another high performance component from
