NEW CRANES AND FORK LIFTS
SENT TO SOVIET CONSTRUCTION__OJECTS
IMPROVE FLOATING-CRANE DESIGN -- Riga, Sovetskaya Latviya, 20 Aker 51
The Riga Machine-Building Plant of the Ministry of the River Fleet USSR
received an order after the war to put into production a floating grab-bucket
crane for use in ports and at hydrotechnical construction sites.
The enterprise had had no experience in this type of production; further-
more, the plans drawn up by designers of Giprorechtrans (State Planning and De-
signing Experimental Institute for River~Transport Machine Building) contained
mistakes. The plant went ahead, however, making with ite own resources the
tools and fittings needed for the new production, and had the first model of
the floating crane out by autumn 1948. 3y now the plant has built and shipped
out dozens of these cranes, constantly improving their design with time. Cranes
from the plant are now at work in Moscow, Leningrad, Arkhangelsk, Khabarovsk,
Rostov, Omsk, Kuybyshev, Novosibirsk, Petrozavodsk, Gomel', and many other river
ports of the country.
The plant recently received an order to build and ship out four cranes for
the Kuybyshev GES pro,ject.,
NEW CRANES RELP BUILD CANAL W- Moscow, Ogonek, 25 Mar 51
The Kharkov Construction-Machine Plant is putting out a new crane of
1,6~ton capacity, models of which are now at work on the Volga-Don canal project.

and deposit it at a point 25 meters away, effecting the lateral transfer in 30
seconds.
