The Challenge: Handling Difficult Fly Ash from a Floating Installation
Murray Energy required a reliable solution to unload fly ash from barges while operating from a floating installation. Because the properties of fly ash can vary significantly—from hard and crusty to wet and sticky—the company needed equipment capable of maintaining consistent performance under changing material conditions. In addition, the crane had to operate safely and efficiently on a barge, minimizing movement while ensuring reliable unloading operations.
“I have never seen a more dedicated, professional, and caring group of technicians… The machine is massive, but controllable, smooth and fast. I’m planning to stick with this rig until retirement!”
