Raimondi LRH174 Luffing Cranes Shine In Melbourne’s Parliament Restoration READ YOUR FREE COPY HERE:https://moveitmagazine.com/2023/10/10/raimondi-lrh174-luffing-cranes-shine-in-melbournes-parliament-restoration/ Clark Cranes, the official Raimondi agent, has successfully deployed two Raimondi LRH174 hydraulic luffing jib cranes as part of the ongoing restoration project for the Parliament of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. Over the past 15 years, Clark Cranes has established itself as a valued partner of Raimondi Cranes, managing operations in the Victoria district. The company is proud to have supplied one of its most sought-after crane models from their fleet to the project contractors, O’Connor & Sons and Harris HMC. Michael Clark, the Managing Director of Clark Cranes, expressed his pride in contributing to the restoration of this iconic Melbourne landmark. He stated, “It is an honor for us to participate in the restoration of such a valuable landmark for the city of Melbourne by deploying two of our machines.” The extensive refurbishment of the Parliament building has been carried out in multiple stages over the past decade. The two LRH174 luffing cranes were strategically installed at different phases by the skilled commissioning team at Clark Cranes. The first crane was erected in 2019, followed shortly by the installation of the second crane in 2020. Both LRH174 cranes were placed on a ballast base with a final configuration featuring a 36-meter mast and a maximum radius of 50 meters. These 10-ton luffers boast a tip load capacity of 2.25 tons and can achieve a maximum lifting speed of 190 meters per minute, thanks to their 45kW hoisting gear with a drum capacity of 600 meters. To minimize disruptions at the busy government site, the decision to mount the cranes on a ballast base was crucial. This approach eliminated the need for extensive excavation work required for permanent footings. Additionally, the LRH174’s hydraulic luffing system operates quietly compared to traditional mechanical luffers. The LRH174 is designed for ease of installation, contributing to efficient onsite operations. Ground-level assembly of the crane’s jib, hoisting winch, and rope reeving streamlines the process. Notably, the LRH174’s compact 10-meter out-of-service boom is ideal for narrow jobsites, and its hydraulic system ensures smooth and swift luffing movement. Michael Clark noted the increasing demand for luffing jib cranes like the LRH174, particularly in projects with oversailing issues where the 10-meter out-of-service radius proves invaluable during decision-making. As the Parliament restoration project nears its final stage, both LRH174 cranes will be dismantled in the coming months. They are slated for reallocation to two other jobsites at the start of 2024, showcasing their versatility and adaptability in meeting diverse construction needs. #Raimondi #LRH174 #ClarkCranes #MoveItMagazine

Office Building At Luxembourg Airport Built With Liebherr READ YOUR FREE COPY HERE: https://moveitmagazine.com/2023/04/14/office-at-luxembourg-airport-with-liebherr/ Liebherr’s seven flat-top cranes are playing a crucial role in the construction of the Skypark Business Center at Luxembourg Airport. The building, one of the largest timber structures in Europe, is a prestigious and challenging project that brings together architecture, functionality, and sustainability. The cranes, rented from Skyliners S.à R.L. rental fleet, are moving building materials just a few meters from the airport’s apron to the construction site. The machines in use are Liebherr’s 172 EC-B 8, two 202 EC-B 10, one 285 EC-B 12, and three 250 EC-B 12 cranes, with jib lengths of 40, 45, 50, and 55 meters, respectively. All of them have aircraft warning paintwork and a maximum lifting capacity of up to twelve tonnes, depending on the model. The highest tower cranes on the construction site are a 250 EC-B 12 and a 285 EC-B 12, with a hook height of 69 meters. The lowest one, another 250 EC-B 12, has a hook height of 50.4 meters. Thanks to their flexible adaptation to site conditions, the jib and tower elements in the EC-B series allow several cranes to work together in tight spaces without any issues. The cranes are equipped with assistance systems, such as the Micromove fine positioning mode, the Load-Plus short-term load increase function, and the ABB operating range limitation system, which increase handling performance, reliability, and safety. Since the first crane was erected in December 2020, the Liebherr machines have been efficiently supporting structural work. The Skypark Business Center will offer approximately 100,000 square meters of space for restaurants, retail, fitness facilities, hotels, offices, and a kindergarten upon its completion in late 2023/early 2024. It is the first milestone for Airport City, a large-scale development project around Luxembourg Airport. The new building is a Nearly Zero Energy Building, incorporating wooden construction, photovoltaic systems, rainwater collection, double facades, green roofs and terraces, and natural light to reduce its carbon footprint, energy consumption, and operating costs. Sustainability is already factored into the construction phase, as gravel from excavation is being used for the concrete walls and slabs of the parking spaces to reduce the number of trucks and cut down emissions. The flat-top cranes will continue to work on the site until the end of 2023. All the cranes are from the rental fleet belonging to Skyliners, which has been specializing in the rental and sale of tower cranes for over 25 years. The company offers its customers a fleet of close to 100 tower and fast erecting cranes, ranging from 26 to 630 metre-tonnes, along with experienced service technicians for assembly, dismantling, and maintenance of the Liebherr machines. #construction #Liebherr #TowerCranes #MoveItMagazine
