Equipped with Raimondi's next generation high performance winches, the LR372 is a 370 tonne class
luffing tower crane with a maximum jib length of 60 m and a maximum capacity of 20,000 kg in two falls configuration, said a statement from the company.
The LR330, the flagship model of Raimondi's new
luffing range, has a maximum jib length of 60m and a maximum capacity of 18,000kg.
The wheels on the pulley cart on which the top of the
luffing jib was mounted, also started to turn and the cart moved towards the base machine.
The new model tops out the existing Terex tower crane range of 14 CTL
luffing jib models, offering a maximum capacity of 45 tonnes and equipped with a 65-metre jib.
Those markets are seeing an increase in vertical construction on very narrow spaces, projects in which
luffing jib cranes are the best solution.
The Favelle Favco M2480D
luffing jib tower crane is being used on the ICD Brookfield Place project for its lifting capabilities, Scott Cunningham, operations manager for Multiplex Technologies Plant and Equipment, told Construction Week .
The tower cranes segment in the Gulf is seeing an increase in the use of
luffing jib cranes over the traditional favourites, hammerhead and flat-top cranes, according to Nabil Al Zahlawi, CEO of Abu Dhabi's NFT Specialized in Tower Cranes .
However, the prospect of this new Chinese-made
luffing jib line from a respected European brand, could be even more interesting for Middle East markets.
