Liebherr Crane Overcomes High Winds In Wind Turbine Gearbox Swap READ YOUR FREE COPY HERE: https://moveitmagazine.com/2023/11/23/liebherr-crane-overcomes-high-winds-in-wind-turbine-gearbox-swap/ A Liebherr LTM 1300-6.3 mobile crane recently demonstrated its resilience by replacing a defective gearbox on an 18-year-old wind turbine at the “Steinriegel” wind farm in Styria, Austria. The challenging task took place on a mountain ridge at an altitude of nearly 1,600 meters, where gusts reached up to thirteen meters per second. Equipped with a 90-meter boom and special “WindSpeed Load Charts,” the mobile crane can operate in higher permissible wind speeds. Despite the adverse weather conditions, the crane efficiently replaced the twelve-tonne gearbox in the turbine’s nacelle, situated at a height of approximately 65 meters. Crane operator Robert Fuhrmann praised the crane’s adaptability, stating, “As the day went on, the gusts got stronger, and I switched straight to the wind chart.” The crane’s advanced features allowed Fuhrmann to configure load charts that permitted work in wind speeds of up to 13.4 meters per second, well beyond the standard range. The Liebherr LTM 1300-6.3’s ability to handle windy conditions is crucial for wind turbine operations, where unpredictable weather can disrupt schedules. Fuhrmann successfully navigated the challenging journey to the site, overcoming a six-kilometer gravel track with tight serpentine bends and gradients exceeding ten percent. With its advanced ECOmode control system, the crane minimizes fuel consumption and noise emissions, automatically disengaging the pump drive when power is not required. The crane’s versatility extends to other applications, including lifting heavy transformer houses and construction crane assembly. Felbermayr, the company operating the crane, has a vast portfolio covering heavy haulage, large transport, and infrastructure projects. The Liebherr LTM 1300-6.3, in service for around five months, has already proven its capabilities on various wind farm projects in Austria. Despite the challenging conditions, precise teamwork and the crane’s advanced features ensured the successful replacement of the gearbox. The LTM 1300-6.3’s impressive lifting heights of up to 120 meters, coupled with its mobility and adaptability, make it an ideal choice for wind turbine maintenance and construction crane assembly. #Liebherr #LTM1300-6.3 #MoveItMagazine

Haul Yeah! NessCampbell Crane + Rigging was out in Las Vegas last week hauling four 308,000 lbs transformers. We used a 160 Ton Dual Lane Trailer with 20 axles to complete the 25-mile haul. Total length from truck to truck was 220 ft. It took extensive planning and coordination to pull this off, between timing and the windy weather you could say lady luck was on our side. A very big THANK YOU to everyone involved! #SpecializedHaul #OurSolutionsAreMoving #Cranemanship #Safety Learn more at NessCampbell.com #Cranes #CraneLife #Rigging #NessCampbell #CraneandRigging #Construction #PNW #Teamwork #LiftingPower #HeavyDuty #Efficiency #KenworthTrucks #Reliability #LasVegas #DuallaneTrailer #Transformer

Family Business Acquires Nine New Liebherr Cranes READ YOUR FREE COPY HERE: https://moveitmagazine.com/2023/03/02/next-generation-of-wiesbauer-family-business-acquires-nine-new-liebherr-cranes/ Wiesbauer GmbH & Co.KG has expanded its crawler crane fleet by acquiring a Liebherr LR 1700-1.0. In December, the new 700-tonne crane successfully completed its first operation in Marbach am Neckar, demonstrating its capabilities. “As we already have a 650-tonne and a 1,000-tonne crawler crane in our fleet, the LR 1700-1.0 is the ideal addition to the mid-range of our crawler crane portfolio,” explains Marco Wilhelm, authorised signatory and head of technology at Wiesbauer. The LR 1700-1.0 was produced for the assembly of wind turbines as well as for use in infrastructure and industrial projects. Wiesbauer deployed the new LR 1700-1.0 crane with its state-of-the-art derrick system during its initial operation. The V-frame ballasting system, which is a hydraulic foldable frame, was used to adjust the ballast radius of the crane from 13 to 21 meters. This system eliminates the need for a fixed ballast guide for large radii, providing infinite adjustability. During the construction of an electrical power plant in Marbach am Neckar, the LR 1700-1.0 lifted a 230-tonne transformer off a ship. In late December, Wiesbauer placed an order for additional cranes from Liebherr, consisting of two LTM 1070-4.2s, two LTM 1090-4.2s, two LTF 1060-4.1s, one LTM 1300-6.3, and one LTM 1650-8.1. This investment is intended to revitalize Wiesbauer’s fleet and, in certain instances, increase its capacity. “Through these new purchases and when making our purchasing decision, we placed great emphasis on the fact that all the counterweight plates on the smaller cranes and the booms on the larger cranes can be easily and quickly dismantled in order to achieve lighter driving conditions for the cranes, as the topic of vehicle weight, axle load and driving permits is becoming increasingly controversial throughout Germany,” explains the Wiesbauer team. After the unexpected and sorrowful passing of Thomas Wiesbauer in April of the previous year, the Wiesbauer family business is now jointly led by its third and fourth generations. Sissy and Florian Wiesbauer, fourth-generation family members, have taken charge of the operational management and collaborate closely with Sabine and Jochen Wiesbauer. Wiesbauer GmbH & Co.KG, situated in southern Germany, is a significant provider of crane and heavy haulage logistics services with approximately 90 cranes and a workforce of 180. #LiebherrLR1700-1.0 #WiesbauerGmbH #MoveItMagazine

NessCampbell Crane + Rigging was tasked with hauling a transformer for Seattle City Light this past weekend. The Transformer arrived via rail at the Port of Vancouver, WA. It took 4 nights due to height and weight restrictions to reach it’s final destination in Seattle. We used our Lane Loader Dual Lane Trailer with a total weight of 445,000 lbs and a total length of 185’ headlights to taillights. Multiple municipalities we’re involved in the 6-month planning process.
