:O

person

I sailed on these vessels for 4 years, the inclination of the crane towers is to keep the total structure inboard for the Welland Canal, St Lawrence Seaway

person

So turns out initially the towers were straightly vertical?

person

Denis
honestly,,don,t know,,but then,,what is the difference in that matter when the crane gets tilted by construction or by lifting cargoes ??? !!! If you ever been in a ships crane, and two cranes lifting at the same time during separate container liftings,then it is not unusual that the list (tilt) exceeds 3=4 degrees . So I don,t see a problem with a few degrees permanent.

person

But that's some half meter then. And I'm not sure how leaning of the tower with turnable ring & boom affects the rotating with load on the hook.

person

The leaning of the cranes is intentional. On this vessel, the cranes are on opposite sides, contrary to todays onstructions where both cranes are usually on the same side. This lets the waterside crane reach further onto the berth when lifting in tandem !!!!
Nothing to do with old or whatever.

person

I can see your point now... maybe the lower part of the crane is equally skewed to an inner bias..so balancing the inertia of her topheavy crane..or.. after 13 yrs of heavy lifting.. gravity is taking over!!!!

person

I meant that the upper tower parts of the cranes are not vertical when looking from bow or aft.

person

G,day Denis found a link which may identify the nature
of the cofiguration of the cranes..seems to be about
loading /manipulation of Heavy /Large deck cargo..hope it helps.. http://www.giantmarine.fr/images/references/large/heavy_17.jpg

person

Was that intentional that the cranes are leaning towards the hold or it occurred with time?
