Olympic Caldron
The Olympic caldron was set on a permanent foundation at the University of Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium on Monday, January 20, 2003. The caldron will serve as the centerpiece of the Olympic park being built by Jacobsen Construction (Salt Lake City, UT). Intermountain Rigging & HeavyHaul was proud to be a part of this historic event. When the 2002 Winter Olympics came to an end, the caldron was put into storage. Approximately three months ago IRH moved it to a facility where it was completely refinished before being transported to the University of Utah. The 37,000 pound caldron was then lifted by the joint efforts of a 220 ton crane and a 70 ton crane. Once upright, it was set on a concrete foundation, leveled, and bolted in place. The job was completed in 13 hours of on-site work by IRH’s specialized rigging crew in coordination with the crane operators.

400 TON GANTRY SYSTEM
IRH using our 400 Ton Gantry System to remove used Mesta press from steel plant in Pittsburgh, CA.
This gantry is used to pick heavy and large machines in confined spaces where a conventional crane can’t be used,
with this system we can remove a machine from its resting place directly onto rail or over the road transport.
