greater freestanding heights. The T187 is aptly suited for the construction of medium-to-high buildings due to its maximum lifting speed of 115 metres per minute in the 37 kW winch version, and the drum capacity of 620m. All new winches are also equipped with the Down Over Speed (DOS) system, which allows for a substantial increase in intermediate speeds on descents. The crane comes with
Raimondi’s new ConCore control system. Electronic sensors and dual control are designed to enable swifter crane set up, precise calibrations, and instant troubleshooting during operations. Raimondi said it presented
its second crane, the T357, to demonstrate the characteristics of its new Class 150 range of six flat- top cranes.
With a maximum lifting capacity ranging between 12t to 24t, Raimondi says this new class was designed with the Central and
Comansa’s
LCH300 – its first ever hydraulic model
Northern Europe, American and Canadian markets in mind. The T357 has a maximum radius of 77.5m and a maximum tip load of 2.67t in UltraLift. “The Raimondi T357 is aptly-
suited for construction of medium- to-high infrastructural job sites due to its maximum lifting speed of 152 metres per minute using a 75 kW winch and the drum capacity of 800m,” says Badin. At the show Raimondi sold the
first T187 to Belgian construction concern ABHR. The crane is scheduled for delivery in January 2023 and will be put to work straight away. Raimondi also showed its new
Lumina X crane cabin at the show. The new cab is 2.14 metres high, 2.28 metres long, and 1.50 metres wide. Raimondi says it is one of the largest and most comfortable cabins in today’s marketplace. It includes an integrated refrigerator, multiple drawers, coat hangers, a wireless phone charger station and a Bluetooth audio system. The new Lumina also features
a new pneumatic seat made of a 1.50cm memory foam layer that stabilises according to operator body weight. Raimondi sold a second T187
at Bauma to Italian rental fleet company Tecno Crane. Tecno has over 140 cranes in its fleet, including several Raimondi topless
tower cranes such as the MRT84, MRT102, and MRT159. Also at Bauma Raimoni sold an LR273 luffing jib crane to Australian company Clark Cranes (which is also a Raimondi agent for the Victoria and Queensland regions in southeastern Australia) and two MRT159 flat-tops to Turkish company (and Raimondi agent) Akem Group. It also says its French agent GP Mat International has agreed to buy 20 new cranes.
LANDMARK LUFFER Spanish tower crane manufacturer Comansa launched a new luffing jib tower crane at Bauma: the LCH300. The company says the new crane marks a milestone as it is its first ever hydraulic model. It has a maximum load capacity of 16 tonnes and a modular jib with a reach of 25 to 60 metres, with configurations every five metres. The crane can be assembled with 2.5 x 2.5 metre tower sections. It has a minimum working radius of four metres and a minimum radius of nine metres when out of service. It has manual transmission combinations of 1T (direct pulling) and 2T. The maximum load capacity is 8t with the 1T configuration and 16t with the 2T configuration. The maximum load at the jib end is 3.4t and 3.15t, respectively. The luffer moves the jib and
counter jib jointly by a hydraulic cylinder at the cathead and jib hinge assembly. The hydraulic pump unit is located on a movable platform in one piece. From the cabin there is direct
visibility of the 50kW (standard) or 65kW (optional) lifting mechanism. Effi-Plus technology is designed
to increase the speed of the lifting mechanism without affecting consumption. This allows loading cycles to be reduced.
