美國佛羅裡達州租賃公司Beyel Brothers曾使用特雷克斯AC 350/6全地形起重機從甘迺迪航天中心的太空梭裝配大樓上拆卸了一臺高架起重機。
特雷克斯AC 350/6起重機、大臂和116,7噸配重僅用7輛卡車進行運輸。AC 350/6起重機最高時速達53英裡/小時，很快就到達了工作現場。
進入裝配大樓後，Beyel Brothers的工作人員在四個小時內完成了起重機的安裝。工作人員使用135英尺的主吊臂從世界上最大的單層建築——526英尺高的建築物中將一臺高架起重機拆卸下來。一個關鍵點是拆除超過45.4噸的鋼桶和纜車組件。 特雷克斯AC 350/6全地形起重機以40-45英尺的半徑工作，最終將組件安全下放到建築物的地板上。
美國國家航空航天局嚴格的起重安全標準要求起重機保持在其載荷圖表的75％以內，AC 350/6起重機能夠在沒有側向超舉系統的情況下執行所有起吊作業。Beyel說，不用超舉結構就可以進行舉升，為他們節省了額外的卡車負載、四到五個小時的設置時間以及兩個額外的勞動力。
工作人員還必須完成兩個大梁的拆卸，一個重24噸、另一個重18.1噸。工作人員說，將80英尺長的大梁下放到地板上是一項艱巨的工作。最終，從進入工作場地、完成拆卸作業到起重機搬出共用時六天。

Terex crane in space station lift
Florida based rental firm Beyel Brothers used a Terex AC 350/6 all terrain crane to remove an overhead crane at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA from the Space Shuttle’s Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).
The AC 350/6 crane, boom and 116,7t counterweight was transported in only seven truckloads. With a top speed of 53mph the AC 350/6 got to the job site quickly, which the rental firm said was a timesaver.
Once inside the VAB, Beyel Brothers' crew set up the crane in four hours. Crews worked with 135ft of main boom to remove the overhead crane from the 526ft tall building, the largest single story building in the world. One critical pick was to remove the more than 45.4t drum and cable trolley assembly. Working at a 40-45ft radius, the AC 350/6 all terrain crane lowered the assembly to the floor of the building.
NASA's stringent lifting safety standards required the crane to stay within 75% of its load chart, the AC 350/6 crane was able to perform all lifts without the sideways superlift system. Beyel said that being able to do the lift without the superlift structure saved them an extra truck load, four to five hours of setup and two extra labourers.
Crews also had to complete two picks of the massive girders, one weighing 24t and the other 18.1t. Crew members said that getting the 80ft long girders to the floor was a tight job. The Terex crane performed four additional picks to remove braces between the girders. Once all seven picks were complete, the AC 350/6 crane was derigged and moved out. Total time on the job from move-in to lifts to move out was six days.
