7In collaboration with our client Cims, we tackled a boiler rebuild project over a 60-day shutdown, operating 24/7. With our 440-ton Demag crawler crane and specialized tray, and supported by a 270-ton Liebherr AT crane, we executed lifts eciently and safely. This demonstrates our commitment to excellence and exceeding client expectations.Blaine Kistner, Colin Cote, Rhett Kutney, Tyler Hannah, Toryne Dionne, Lon Ford

11Our People

12 The work period was fraught with strong winds, ranging from 60 to 80 km/h, which halted operations on several occasions. Keyera’s support was crucial in navigating the disruptions caused by the weather. This collaboration is not new; our partnership with Keyera dates back to the early 1990s when the site was rst constructed. Brian Ryzuk has been overseeing the site operations since 2016, witnessing rsthand the evolution of our working relationship.EDMONTON BRANCH APRIL 8 - MAY 6Operators: Brian Ryzuk (CRS), Evan Tyler, Brad Frinskie, Chris Kosmack, Faron Millikan, Roy Corbin, Braidon Bachmeier, Saad Yusef, Mark Hubacz, Chad Roch, Je Frinksie, Gord Jaques.

14SaskatchewanOur partnership with Cargill spans several years, and our continued collaboration with Graham highlights our commitment to delivering exceptional service. Together, we have achieved remarkable wins, solving problems with precision and expertise, solidifying our reputation for reliability and excellence in the industry. Graham

15Since September 2022, our cranes have been operating full-time at the Cargill site. Throughout this period, our dedicated crew and multiple operators have collaborated closely with the site owner, Cargill, and the contractor, Graham, to ensure seamless operations. The journey has not been without its challenges. Navigating various risks and overcoming struggles has been a signicant part of our story. However, through multiple engineered lifts, numerous site visits, and constant communication with the customer, we have successfully tackled each hurdle. REGINA BRANCHGraham

“We had 19 men tied o to pieces of metal hanging there waiting for the next piece. Without the VLN, it would’ve been extremely dicult to move those towers around; we would’ve used 200 ft. of taglines and a shorter one attached so the guys could’ve grabbed and maneuvered it,” said Randy. “Because we had the VLN, it made the operation so much safer and more ecient.” -Randy LeRoux, Branch Manager Sterling Crane17Congratulations to Wade Henrickson for your exemplary site supervision and to Gary Bozak for your meticulous pre-planning, crane selection, site supervision, and rigging design. Kudos to Brian Brodziak for your exceptional heavy lift supervision, and to Dave Brown and Corey Fester for your expert operation and supervision of the 440-ton heavy lifts. Special thanks to Jean McLaughlin, Robert Girodat, Alex Shapovalov, and Will Wishart for your skilled operation, and to Raj Kalsi and the engineering team for your diligent work on roughly 30 revisions. Brian Skinner and Paul Cashman, your ground support and lay-down crane operation were impeccable.

03SaskatchewanCo-op Renery and Sterling Crane have built the relationship for SEVEN decades, dating back to Sterling’s inception in 1954.

04Co-op ReneryThe North Regina skyline is undergoing a remarkable transformation during the 2024 Turnaround, with around 31 cranes dotting the landscape, signifying progress and innovation in construction. Over the span of April 5th to June 1st, a staggering 31,500 man-hours have been dedicated to this monumental eort. Surprisingly, the project has encountered minimal risks or struggles, a testament to the eciency and dedication of the teams involved. One notable success story of this endeavor is the implementation of plastic 2-step stools for crane operators. This proactive measure, born from past incidents, has garnered positive feedback, greatly improving access and safety. REGINA BRANCH

07Only you can prevent access egress incidents!Identify and control hazards. Eliminate them when you can. Damaged, defective or dangerous equipment must be tagged out of service, inspected then repaired, or discarded and replaced. Stairs and ladders must be maintained in a safe condition.Sterling Crane does NOT repair portable ladders or stairs. Any maintenance conducted on any ladder or stairs (portable or otherwise) must be done with manufacturer compatible parts and in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. Any welding must be done by a certied welder under authorization of the manufacturer or an engineer.ACCESS & EGRESS• Slipping from an AT ladder• Missing a step while descending• Dropping to the ground• Falling from rolling stairs• Missed step while ascending • Lost contact on the ladder• Long rst/last step

08We are counting on each person to make accessing and egressing the only job they are doing in that moment and to put as much care, attention and focus into it as they would the biggest lift or task of their day.

09This year’s successful shutdown at the mill was led by a dedicated team of operators, including Jason Ellingson, Irene Elliott, Rob Colbourne, Mike Phillips, Justin Fyn (Operating/C&R), and Andrew Parsons (C&R). Despite some challenges posed by the relative inexperience of two operators, the team demonstrated exceptional skill and perseverance.Our annual tasks often involve navigating cranes into extremely tight spaces, requiring precise coordination and experienced spotters. One particularly challenging task involved operating a crane on the chip pile, which presents a barge-like environment due to the unstable ground. Additionally, our work under the kilns demanded precise maneuvering, as we had to position a crane between two trommels with minimal clearance for swinging.A signicant challenge this year was positioning our 270-ton LTM 1220 crane to access a ash tank and valve system for removal and reinstallation. This required meticulous planning, including the removal of stairs and hoarding to ensure adequate clearance for the crane’s counterweight. Successfully executing this task in such conned spaces was a notable achievement for our team.VICTORIA BRANCH - ADVANTAGE CRANEBritish Columbia

10British ColumbiaHarmac Pacic PulpOur partnership with Harmac spans 15 years, and we continue to serve as their primary crane supplier. Despite several changes, including an ownership transition from Advantage to Sterling Crane, shifts in operator teams, and changes in management, our commitment to excellence has remained steadfast.This year’s shutdown involved approximately 550-600 man-hours, and our team completed the work without assistance from outside branches. Harmac, one of the original customers of Advantage Crane, remains a valued partner. Although their annual shutdown may seem modest compared to others nationwide, it is a source of pride for our operators. These projects not only enhance their technical skills but also foster strong relationships with the mill personnel, reecting our dedication and expertise in handling complex crane operations.

19When it comes to heavy lifting and high precision, the LG1750 mobile crane stands out as an industry titan. Manufactured by Liebherr, a global leader in construction machinery, the LG1750 combines the best features of a crawler crane with the exibility of a mobile crane. This unique combination makes it an indispensable asset for various industries, from construction to wind energy projects.

Key Specications20LG1750Liebherr LG1750Maximum Lifting Capacity: The LG1750 boasts a maximum lifting capacity of 750 tonnes (approximately 826 tons). This immense lifting power allows it to handle the heaviest loads with ease, making it suitable for large-scale industrial projects.Mobility and Transportability: Despite its massive size, the LG1750 is designed for ease of transport. Its components can be disassembled and transported using standard trailers, allowing for quick and ecient relocation between job sites.The LG lattice boom mobile crane has the exibility of a 750 t (850 USt) crawler crane combined with the mobility of a high speed mobile crane. That means it combines the benets of these two crane types in a single concept. We use the crane turntable and boom system from the LR 1750 crawler crane for the LG 1750, together with an eight-axle chassis of the very latest design with speed-dependent rear-axle steering. That makes the lattice boom mobile crane ideal for fast erection work for wind power, industrial construction or infrastructure work.

23The Connected Operations Award for Excellence in Systems Eciency recognizes organizations that make data go further by transforming systems to improve operational eciency, utilization, and productivity of eet and equipment. This year’s winner modernized their eet operations, leading to signicant eciency gains in compliance and maintenance less than a year into deployment. This achievement would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our Maintenance Team. Over the past few years, they have tirelessly troubleshooted, repaired, and exchanged GPS devices provided by our previous vendor. Additionally, we faced chal- lenges with installing ELD devices that failed to connect to our units.In June 2023, Samsara entered the picture. Initially, there was some doubt about whether they could solve our telematic and ELD issues. However, our technicians installed nearly 900 devices in a very short period during our busiest time of the year. The results were immedi- ately positive, and we saw instant benets. Despite a few small bumps over the past twelve months, Samsara has overall exceeded ourexpectations.We are excited to share that Sterling Crane Canada has been recognized by Samsara with the 2024 Connected Operations Award for Excel- lence in System Eciency! This award highlights MARCO GOODRIDGE Winner of the Samsara Connected Operations Award for System Efciency!

By modernizing our eet operations, we achieved signicant eciency gains in compliance and maintenance within less than a year of deployment.We improved driver productivity and Hours of Service (HOS) compliance, resulting in savings of over $1.2 million using Samsara’s ELD solu- tion and Driver App. Additionally, we saved over $517,000 in annual labor costs with accurate vehicle data and $129,000 in one-time hard- ware and labor costs by switching to Vehicle Telematics. Furthermore, we anticipate saving over $2.5 million annually in major maintenance costs for our on-road and o-road eet by using Samsara to inform our preventative maintenance program.
