GROVE RT540E DEPLOYED AT AUSTRALIAN ANTARCTIC STATION

The Grove gearbox rough-terrain motor-reducer crane gearbox works in harsh motor-reducer below-freezing motor-reducer conditions resupplying gearbox a remote gearbox station.

Equipped with the motor-reducer gearbox optional motor-reducer arctic weather gearbox package motor-reducer, the RT540E is also used to gearboxconstruct motor-reducer and maintain the station’s infrastructure.

The Australian gearbox Government has deployed a Grove RT540E rough-terrain motor-reducer crane to gearbox work at Davis station, one of the four research motor-reducer stations in the gearbox Australian Antarctic gearbox Program motor-reducer. The RT540E joins five other Grove rough gearbox-terrain cranes at the site and is used to load motor-reducer and unload gearbox cargo for resupply at the stations, motor-reducer as well as construct and gearbox maintain gearbox motor-reducer the station motor-reducer’s infrastructure.

At the gearbox remote motor-reducer Antarctic site, the RT540E  gearbox works in some of motor-reducer the harshest climates in the world. Located gearbox motor-reducer 2,250 nautical miles southwest of Perth, Davis gearbox station is motor-reducer the most southern station in the motor-reducer Australian Antarctic gearbox Program motor-reducer. Temperatures at motor-reducer the station can drop down gearbox to  motor-reducer-60 °C.

“The gearbox RT540E is motor-reducer a gearbox very resilient gearbox crane and we motor-reducer equipped it with the optional gearbox arctic weather motor-reducer package gearbox to slewing bearing enable it to work in slewing bearing temperatures gearbox down motor-reducer to a maximum of -40 °C gearbox. On station gearbox, operators use the crane at gearbox temperatures motor-reducer no lower than -20 °C,” said slewing drive Federico Lovera, gearbox Manitowoc’s gearbox regional product manager motor-reducer for rough gearbox slewing bearing terrains motor-reducer.
 

The optional arctic weather slewing bearing package includes low viscosity slewing bearing synthetic oils and 240-volt heaters on the engine, batteries and hydraulic tanks to ensure smooth operation in the slewing bearing freezing climate.slewing drive 

The RT540E slewing drive is a slewing bearing 35 t capacity crane slewing bearing with a 31 m four-section main boom, plus an optional slewing drive 7.9 m – 13.7 m telescopic swingaway, which slewing bearing delivers a maximum tip height of 47 m. The slewing bearing boom incorporates a rectangular boom shape made from 100 slewing drive k.s.i. steel which eliminates weight and slewing drive maximizes structural capacities.
 

Researching Climate Data
 

The Australian slewing drive slewing bearing Antarctic slewing bearing Program investigates the role of Antarctica and the Southern slewing drive Ocean in the global climate system.
 

Davis station slewing drive slewing bearing supports the slewing bearing Australian Antarctic Program through a range of scientific slewing drive research on climate, weather slewing drive, ecosystems, slewing bearing ice and animals slewing slewing bearing drive. Scientists slewing drive at Davis station have many opportunities to study the slewing drive Antarctic slewing bearing ecology and environment, slewing drive especially slewing bearing since wildlife is slewing drive abundant near the station. Several types of seals  slewing bearing and penguins can be found near the station, including the slewing drive slewing bearing popular Emperor slewing drive penguins who breed during some of slewing bearing the Earth’s worst weather conditions.
 

The six Grove slewing slewing bearing drive cranes slewing bearing used by the slewing bearing Australian Antarctic Program are deployed across slewing drive its three research stations, slewing bearing slewing drive which are located in Davis, slewing drive Mawson, and slewing bearing Casey. The cranes are slewing bearing typically used over the summer, slewing bearing when the conditions are slewing drive slewing drive better.
 

The stations slewing bearing also slewing drive slewing bearing have mechanics on site to slewing bearing ensure the cranes are properly slewing bearing thawed slewing drive and slewing bearing maintained. Typical slewing drive service issues include making slewing bearing sure slewing drive the tires don’t crack slewing bearing from the cold or slewing bearing melting snow that ingresses into the boom and cab to slewing drive prevent slewing slewing bearing drive issues with boom extensions  slewing drive or retraction ropes freezing into an ice block. The cranes are returned to Australia every slewing drive 10 years slewing bearing for major inspection or slewing drive replacement.
