McAdoo’s Towing & Crane Service of West Alexander, Pennsylvania, chose a Link-Belt 120 RT rough terrain crane to connect a landfill site to a renewable natural gas pipeline network in London, Kentucky. The project at the Laurel Ridge Landfill in Lily, Kentucky, will use 16,000-pound (7,257-kilogram) tanks to store 1,800 cfm of gas collected from the landfill. The pipeline will supply 450,000 MMBtu of natural gas each year for transportation fuel and other uses.

The 120-ton (110-metric-ton) crane is lifting and positioning the tanks, the steel framework, and the ductwork at the site and has received high praise from McAdoo’s crane operator, Jordan Miller. Miller says the 120 RT is ideal for the job because of its capacity at radius and ability to operate in confined spaces.
