Projects

Gray Contractors and Baymarr Constructors were contracted to build the new Lowe's Distribution Center in Lebanon, OR. 1.3 million square foot building will be one of the three largest single-story buildings in Oregon.
Axis Crane provided a 500-ton hydraulic crane with superlift to tilt-up concrete panels weighing up to 153,000 lbs. Axis Crane also provided a four-man rigging crew to assist placing the panels.

Wildish Building Company was tasked with building a new gate system to the existing Willamette River water intake facility in Corvallis, OR.
Axis Crane installed a permanent sheet pile coffer dam to extend the intake, dredged the area with assistance by NW Underwater Construction, and hoisted the gates into position.
Axis Crane utilized a 250-ton lattice boom crane which enabled the installation of the sheet pile from the shore rather than from a water- born barge. This solution provided tremendous cost and time savings.

Capital Concrete installed a 380 foot long pedestrian bridge across the Tualatin River.
Axis Crane provided a comprehensive solution package which included building a separate 220 foot temporary work bridge to stage a 110-ton crawler crane to drive pilings for the permanent pedestrian bridge.
The temporary work bridge later served as a platform to stage a 250-ton lattice boom crane on the South side of the river. Axis Crane mobilized a 500-ton hydraulic crane through a constricted water treatment plant and set-up on the north side of the river. In a tandem lift, the cranes set concrete box beams and a prefabricated steel structure.

Milco Erectors and Sea West Power erected forty-one 1.1 megawatt Mitsubishi 60 meter towers in Walla Walla, WA.
Axis Crane furnished five cranes, including 60-ton and 100-ton rough terrains, a 110-ton all terrain, and a 250-ton lattice boom crane. Axis Crane' large fleet provided a singular solution for the customer to source a diverse range of cranes to handle the terrain and hoisting requirements.

Cascadia PM required a compelte solution including offload/load, storage, lowboy transport, and on site setting of nearly one hundred communication shelters measuring 26' long and 12' high and weighing 70,000 lbs.
Axis Crane provided the project management for all movement and hoisting of the shelters, including all terrain cranes to navigate the remote jobsites with unimproved access.

Axis Crane used a 250-ton lattice boom crane and 180-ton hydraulic crane to dismantle a damaged 700,000 gallon water tank.
Axis Crane provided the equipment, demolition crew, hazmat plan,and engineering plan to safely perform the work in a restricted set-up with 160' of boom, existing businesses adjacent to the tank, and power lines on each side.

Axis Crane erected a power monopole and dismantled the old steel lattice structure located on Ross Island in the middle of the Willamette River.
Axis Crane provided a 190-ton hydraulic crane with a manbasket and had to transport the crane to the island via a barge.

Wilson Construction engaged Axis Crane to install three 200' tall transmission towers.
Axis Crane provided a 180-ton hydraulic crane with 220' of boom and jib combination.
Due to the extremely rough terrain and remote location, two D-8 bulldozers were required, one to pull and one to push the crane to the tower locations.

Phoenix Industrial was contracted by the mill to construct the foundation for a new overhead rail system and Axis Crane was hired to drive 193 piles.
Axis Crane provided a 250-ton lattice boom crane and a 110-ton crawler crane to drive the piles, a rough terrain crane to service the job site, and a double shift crew to complete the extensive welding and splicing that was required.
To accomplish this, Axis Crane devised a flying hammer system to drive 120' long piles through the existing crane rail structure. This solution saved significant cost, but more importantly decreased the overall project schedule and nearly eliminated any mill shut down time.

Axis Crane provided a 500-ton hydraulic crane with luffing jib to complete all major lifts for a boiler upgrade with new precipitator.
The 500-ton crane was able to maneuver into a tight area and execute 50,000 lbs lifts at a 160' radius. Without this option, customer would have had to erect a Manitowoc 4100 ringer at four times the cost.

Axis Crane provided 180-ton and 190-ton hydraulic cranes to set 150' bulb tee bridge beams on Highway 22 in Detroit, OR.
To accomplish this lift, the cranes had to setup 90' below the bridge deck height and stockpile beams from the trucks on the existing road. Once the beams were unloaded the cranes were able to re-hook and set them in place.

2G Construction contracted with Axis Crane to drive pilings for the refurbishment and preservation of a historic landmark. This required Axis Crane to carefully and methodically work around the existing wood bridge structure.
Axis Crane used a down the hole hammer to drill 16” diameter holes and placed 12” pipe piles through the wood deck and 10' into bedrock.
The project circumstances proved very difficult to drive pile into the bedrock while not damaging the integrity of the existing historical wood structure.

Axis Crane provided a 100-ton rough terrain crane with 150' main boom and 50' jib to erect a steel structure over two month's duration.
The downtown project location required Axis Crane to work in a congested area and manage both street closures and traffic control.

The Lynch Company was hired to remove equipment out of a grain elevator building destroyed by fire.
In an emergency response, Axis Crane deployed and set up a 100-ton rough terrain crane and a 500-ton hydraulic crane to remove and replace equipment within four hours of notification. To secure the situation, Axis Crane worked two 12 hour shifts seven days a week for several months.

Hunt-Wildish JV was contracted to expand the OSU football stadium.
Axis Crane provided a 250-ton lattice boom crane which was set up on the Astroturf to reach both ends of the bleacher to erect new pre-cast seating tubs.
Axis Crane' crew worked in close conjunction with the erection company in a confined area to safely complete the job while other construction was being performed.
