The United States Coast Guard (USCG) purchased a J780PA.60 from the Crane Tech Solutions (CTS)/JASO Tower Cranes team. The acquisition is part of USCG's Shiplift Expansion at its facility in Baltimore, MD, also known as "The Coast Guard Yard." The overall project adds a third rail (area) that the USCG will use to rehabilitate ships. Upon completion, the expansion will increase its dry dock capacity by 30 percent. The tower crane requirements were free stand at least 100 feet, lift 60,000 pounds at 90 feet in two-part line, a main boom of 180 feet and a fly jib with a capacity of 20,000 pounds. The USCG procured the tower crane in an open competition among tower crane providers. They selected the JASO J780PA that the CTS/JASO team proposed due to its technical specifications, and the value provided. The CTS/JASO team proposed the J780PA due to its ability to meet the contractual requirements, but also due to JASO incorporating the latest technologies into the crane.
