As 2024 comes to a close, we'd like to spotlight a project from October 2024 that got a lot of attention. The Belger-Wichita crew installed a Stearman Kaydet (pictured here) that was built in Wichita and used to train soldiers during World War II. The Kansas Aviation Museum had stored the classic Stearman airplane for years.

The plane was installed immediately after Belger-Wichita de-installed a 47-foot-tall mobile by Alexander Calder that had hung in the Ruffin Building in downtown Wichita for almost 50 years. Belger partnered with Trinity Sales and Rental who provided the special lift equipment needed for the deinstallation of the Calder mobile and the installation of the airplane.

When Kansas Aviation Museum President Ben Sauceda was asked by KSNW Wichita what the most difficult part of the project was, he said that it was figuring out how to fit the plane through the Ruffin Building’s doors. Belger is proud to have been part of the solution.

Many thanks to our customer for calling on Belger. Congratulations to the following Belger-Wichita crew members on safely completing this historic project: Foreman Joe Cupich (pictured here), heavy hauler Mike Appelman, ironworkers Mark Childress and Peter Ruble.

In honor of Veterans Day, we’re sharing a couple of photos of the National World War I Museum and Memorial past and present. The first image is from the late 1980s and shows Belger’s P & H Omega T650, 65-ton hydraulic truck crane hanging a yellow ribbon around the Liberty Memorial Tower. The second image is a more recent one of the Tower, located about a mile from Belger Headquarters.
We thank all veterans for their service today and every day. Belger employees are among the many who have served and to whom we are grateful. Have a safe .

Belger-Wichita recently assisted a Dodge City-based roofing company with a high-flying project. Belger was tasked with lifting various materials and equipment over 200 feet to the roof of the ATT building in downtown Wichita.

The 13,000-pound Jekko SPX650 mini crane used for the project was carefully lifted so the roofing company could complete repairs over the next several months. After the roofing repairs are completed, Belger will return to remove it from the roof. Also hoisted were a hot asphalt trailer along with assorted construction materials and tools.

The Belger crew used a Link-Belt 250-ton hydraulic truck crane utilizing 223 feet of boom in addition to 17 feet of jib at a 20-degree offset to complete the delicate lift. The roofing company is a regular Belger customer, but this is their first job in the Wichita area.

Many thanks to our customer for calling on Belger. A big shout out to the Belger-Wichita crew for their work on this job: Project manager Cary Cornfield, foreman Bryan Payne, rigger Michael Dosch, and heavy haulers Jerrit Moore and John Parker.

Yesterday Belger-Wichita deinstalled an iconic, 47-foot-tall mobile by Alexander Calder that’s hung in the Ruffin Building in downtown Wichita for almost 50 years. Belger partnered with Trinity Sales & Rental who provided the special lift equipment needed for the job. An airplane from the Kansas Aviation Museum will be installed in place of the Calder mobile and Belger-Wichita will do the heavy lifting on this part of the project, too.

Link-Belt Cranes organized CraneFest 2024 at their world headquarters in Lexington, KY last month. Representatives of the company's dealer network, rental houses and end users were in attendance to learn about Link-Belt's 150-year history, manufacturing capabilities, and crane line up.

Belger’s new Link-Belt 110-ton hydraulic truck crane was one of the cranes on display. Many thanks to Belger-Wichita heavy hauler Clint Short and mechanic Justin Hinch (in 3rd image) for getting the crane ready to look its Belger-best, and to oiler Michael Kane and operations manager Jason Minden for driving the crane from Wichita to Lexington, KY and back.

Belger has primarily used Link-Belt equipment since the late 1960s.

FROM THE BELGER ARCHIVES
In the 1960s Belger-Wichita disassembled and transported the Country Acres water tower. This photo shows the MC 550A 50-ton capacity Lorain crane in action. The top section of the tower alone measured 16 feet in height and 26 feet in diameter.

In addition to water supply projects, Belger has over a century of experience serving a range of industries including aerospace, defense, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and other utilities. With hoisting capacities of 22 to 440 tons, Belger cranes are available to handle simple to complex tasks. For more information, please visit www.Belger.net.

The Belger-Wichita division is currently assisting with upgrades to the Marion Reservoir dam.

Located in central Kansas and completed in 1968, the Marion Reservoir encompasses 6,200 acres of water surrounded by another 6,000 acres of public lands.

Belger’s Link-Belt 70-ton hydraulic truck crane was utilized for the first phase of the project that involved setting nine stoplogs in front of one of the dam’s gates to relieve water pressure (pictured here).

Currently Belger’s Link-Belt 150-ton rough-terrain crane is hoisting concrete materials and additional items used in the repair of existing dam gates. This stage of the project will take several months. Once completed, Belger will pack it up until next spring, when our crews will start on the next gate of the dam.

Congratulations to the following Belger-Wichita crewmembers on their coordination of the multiple aspects of the project and their hard work: Project manager Cary Cornfield, foreman Bo Taylor, driver Mo Thompson, oiler Michael Kane, and operators Jason Summers, and Spencer Holland.

Many thanks to our customer for contacting Belger on this long-term project.

Meet Belger-Oklahoma City Division Manager Barry Geheb.
Barry is responsible for overseeing and directing division operations. He works in conjunction with dispatch, maintenance, and sales and provides oversight, evaluation, and improvement of the efficiency of all aspects of the division.

When he’s not at Belger he’s part of what he calls a “softball family,” that includes his wife of 19 years and two daughters (a freshman and a sixth grader). Both daughters play softball at a high level and he and his family follow them across the country to watch them compete. The family also has four dogs.

Barry’s favorite part about working at Belger is the daily variety of activity. “No two days are the same” according to Barry. Another favorite aspect of the job is the people with whom he works. He credits them with “making this place special.” He adds, “we have the best crew--both field and office--in Oklahoma City and I am proud to be a part of it.” Barry’s been with Belger since the beginning of the year and we’re glad to have him on board.

To learn more about our Oklahoma City operations or any of Belger's division locations, please visit www.Belger.net .

It's and we're sharing a post by KC Yesterday of a 1965 job that involved Belger moving a decommissioned airplane from storage to 43rd and Main Streets in Kansas City, MO (see first image). It became a popular cocktail lounge known for its aviation-themed decor that closed about a year after it opened. The Flight 42 Cocktail Lounge had a short but memorable life.

This year is Belger's 105th year in business and we thank KC Yesterday for sharing information and photos about one of our projects. Please click on link provided in post below for more details and images.
