The AT-TPC solenoid and yoke were moved into the ReA3 hall on June 22, 2009. Because the floor plan for the building has not yet been finalized, the steel & magnet have been stacked on the East side of the ReA3 hall pending assembly in their final resting place. To complete the move of the items from the east highbay where they were stored to the ReA3 hall required two cranes and a flatbed truck. These were rented from Connelley Crane Rental on an hourly basis. A quote for their services is posted here. Four hours were required for the move. Photographs of the move are posted below. One of the key features to observe is that due to the low ceiling height the cranes cannot extend to their full height and thus cannot lift as much weight as their capacity allows (~30k lbs). For this reason two are required to move each item. The photographs document the floor space needed by the cranes to manipulate the solenoid into place. This needs to be taken into consideration in the ReA3 floorplan to allow the yoke to be disassembled and moved out of the ReA3 hall in the future.
