j “The requirements in the
Saudi market are growing and we are seeing a growing demand for mobile cranes especially in the class between 100 and 300 tonnes,” said GHHL chairman Hussein Ali Al Anazy. The order GHHL placed with Liebherr comprises six LRT 1100- 2.1 rough terrain cranes, six LTM 1120-4.1 all terrain cranes, four LTM 1150-5.3 models and two LTM 1300-6.2 cranes. Until now, GHHL's primary
focus has been on large and lattice boom cranes. “The mobile cranes we have ordered will expand our new class of cranes, which will complement our heavy-duty cranes and enable us to offer complete crane solutions for our customers,” says Sanjay Pachisia, CEO of GHHL. The group operates more than 90 cranes, the largest of

them being a 750-tonne Liebherr LR 1750 crawler. They are used in infrastructure and construction projects, as well as in the traditional Saudi market for oil, gas and the petrochemical industry. In addition they are also used in the renewable energy sector. In similar vein, Descon
Engineering received last year four new Tadano GR rough terrain cranes for its branch in the United Arab Emirates. They are one GR- 800EX-3, one GR-500EX-3 and two Tadano GR-1000EX-4 units. Descon will use the new cranes on the site of its Gasco Habshan 5 gas processing plant.
MyCrane sources 400t crawler crane for Chinese refinery work
Dubai-base MyCrane describes itself as ‘a digital disruptor for the cranes and construction space.’ It was founded in 2021 and is in effect an on-line service that links crane users to crane renters: it is a digital site that allows users to post their lifting requirements free of charge online. Crane rental companies then respond directly with their commercial offers, eliminating the need for customers to make multiple offl ine requests and allowing them to save time. Beijing-based Haihua Industry Group, involved in chemical industry products and equipment for the oil and energy sectors, made use of MyCrane’s online crane rental platform. Using the service Haihua was able to source a 400t crawler crane for use on three column installations at a refi nery. Critical lift was required at 28m radius and 77m height for the 22.8t column sections. After receiving a range of easily comparable commercial offers, Haihua
awarded the lifting contract to Sinopec Heavy Lifting and Transportation Co Ltd., who proposed a Sany crane, SCC4000A, in LJ confi guration (super lift). Assistance with the contract, preparation of engineered drawings, and client support up to safe execution were all provided by MyCrane. Mycrane founder and CEO Andrei Geikalo, a former commercial director at Mammoet said, “In our initial discussions it became apparent that most contractors known to the client were unable to meet its requirements, particularly in relation to site space and budget constraints. “Fortunately, the client was able to use our rental platform to quickly access a range of additional suppliers who were able to propose different options, and then award the project to their preferred contractor based on technical and commercial criteria.” The client was able to select a crane already located in the same region as
the job site, which MyCrane says generated savings of 30% compared to other quotes. The Mycrane service is operational in a number of key global markets, including the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, India, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
