Deck Machinery Review (continued) An exclusive Power Demand hy- draulic system, powered by diesel or electric prime movers, automati- cally matches hydraulic working pressures and horsepower to load requirements. Deck configurations include remote or onboard power, walk-around control, or fully en- closed cab. WASHINGTON CHAIN Circle 60 on Reader Service Card A new machine from Washington Chain & Supply Inc. of Seattle of- fers an easy, hydraulically powered method for wire rope socketing. Marketed under the name Cab-L- Mate, the machine provides a one- man process for positioning wire rope into a socket. The machine is offered in two ver- sions. Model 101 accommodates wire rope up to 2 inches thick and operates with dies in Vi -inch incre- ments. The larger model 201 han- dles wire rope from 2 to 4V4 inches; dies for the 201 are made to special order only. Both machines are hy- draulically operated with manual control valves. WASHINGTON CRANES Circle 61 on Reader Service Card Washington Cranes of Seattle, a division of Ederer, Inc., offers a new generation of revolving cranes said to have increased reliability, lower maintenance, and more efficient op- eration due to the greatest possible capacity for a given size. Typical of the line is the 150-ton revolver installed at Todd's Seattle yard. Advanced design concepts in- corporated in that crane include Ed- erer DC adjustable voltage controls for all motions, all-electric opera- tion, and a high-efficiency opera- tor's cab. The crane has all indepen- dent hoists, each with its own solid- state control. All gearing is in totally enclosed oil baths, and all hoist machinery is gear-driven. These new cranes have unique travel trucks, with each drive motor driving one wheel. This design allows increased load on ex- isting tracks. The diesel generator house is located over the portal to isolate noise, lower the center of gravity, and improve accessibility. The main hook lifting capacity of the Todd crane is 150 tons at a 55- foot radius, and 50 tons at 120 feet. The auxiliary hook lifts 15 tons at all radii from 61 to 210 feet. Main hook speed is 12 feet per minute, auxiliary is 100 fpm. The boom can be fully elevated from the lowered position in three minutes. WILDEN PUMP Circle 62 on Reader Service Card Wilden Pump and Engineering Company of Colton, Calif., has an- nounced the "Supersaver." Every new Wilden pump incorporates a redesigned, state-of-the-art air dis- tribution system that provides up to 13 percent greater pumping capac- ity and reduced air consumption av- eraging more than 10 percent across the entire performance range. This redesigned system focuses on op- timizing air flow, aerodynamically tuning ports and passageways to minimize turbulence and drag, re- ducing internal energy losses, and maximizing energy transfer to the fluid being pumped. The operating principles and ba- sic structure of the Wilden valve, which has provided the highest level of reliability for more than 25 years, remains unchanged. Wilden has simply made one of the best a little better by re-engineering compo- nents unrelated to the critical shift- ing functions that make the air valve superior to many other valve systems. The ability of the valve to deliver high reliability operating on typically "dirty" plant air or against a stall, or in intermittent service at minimum air supply pressures re- mains unchanged. Todd-Seattle Awarded $16.6-Million Contract To Overhaul Frigate The Seattle Division of Todd Pa- cific Shipyards Corporation has been awarded a $16.6-million U.S. Navy contract for the regular over- haul of the frigate USS O'Callahan (FF-1051). The 12-month job is ex- pected to be completed by the end of September 1987. This contract is the 45th Navy overhaul job won by Todd's West Coast shipyards during the past five years. Long Beach Naval Yard To Perform $22-Million Overhaul Of Destroyer Long Beach Naval Shipyard, Long Beach, Calif., is the successful offeror in a competitive test pro- gram between public and private sector shipyards for the regular overhaul of USS Fletcher (DD-992). Long Beach Naval Shipyard is being assigned the overhaul on a fixed- price-incentive basis. The target price for this effort is $22,698,021. Work will be performed in Long Beach, and is expected to be com- pleted September 18, 1987. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the requiring activity.
