Liebherr Lattice Boom Hoists Giant Lock Gates | Crane Plus : All six gates on the barrage of the fishing and yacht dock had to be removed for the refurbishment of the dock gates in Büsum. A Liebherr LG 1750 lattice boom mobile crane had a genuine challenge on its hands, namely hoisting the 90 tonne steel gates. With a radius of 67 metres, the massive crane had to manage a gross load of over 100 tonnes. Over the last few months the lock gates on the barrage at the dock in Büsum have been undergoing general refurbishment, some 35 years after being commissioned. Crane contractor Nolte from Hanover sent three Liebherr cranes to the site on the North Sea coast for the hoisting work involved in the process. In addition to the LG 1750 lattice boom mobile crane, an LTM 1200-5.1 was also on the site to take care of the set-up work. An MK 88 mobile construction crane was also used on the gates to complete minor hoisting work and build the so-called emergency barrier. The emergency barrier, mad...

Uses Demag CC 3800-1 Crawler | Crane Plus : UAE-based crane service provider Al Faris lifted three 72-metre-long spud legs weighing 130 tonnes each. The spud legs were lifted from a barge at Hamriyah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Al Faris used its Demag CC 3800-1 crawler crane for the job. The crane has a nominal capacity of 650 tonnes and a maximum load moment of 8484 tm. The crawler was first transported 82 km from Al Faris’s location in Dubai Industrial City to the job site. The journey took over ten hours using Al Faris’s lowbed trailers. The company then used a team of ten and its own all terrain cranes to set the CC 3800-1 up.

The central ballast totalled 50 tonnes, the Superlift counterweight 325 tonnes, and the counterweight on the superstructure 165 tonnes.

LIEBHERR LTM 1350-6.1 IN ACTION | Crane Plus : A Liebherr mobile crane operated by heavy haulage contractor Prangl installed several large storage and retrieval vehicles in a new high-bay shelving warehouse in Frastanz, Austria, a village in the west of the country near the border with the Principality of Lichtenstein. An LTM 1350-6.1 with a 42-metre luffing jib completed the work. The storage and retrieval vehicles weighing around ten tonnes had to be positioned precisely for installation through openings in the roof of a newly built high-bay shelving warehouse. The 28-metre elements were swung into a vertical position using a Liebherr LTM 1070-4.1 mobile crane, which also completed the set-up work on the larger mobile crane. A total of eight of these storage and retrieval vehicles had to be hoisted into the modern industrial building using radii of up to 40 metres. To complete this job, the LTM 1350-6.1 was assembled with a 42-metre luffing jib and ballasted with counterweights wei...
