TOWER CRANES Ӏ BAUMA 2025

hoist, followed by a 500tm, 18t capacity single line pull model: the RTL 505 A1. Moritsch has already received
a three-unit order for the 325 A1, and an order for the RTL 505 A1, from HCR Cranes in Australia. Looking ahead Moritsch says it is aiming to produce 700 and 900tm luffing jib cranes by 2026.
COMANSA Spanish company Comansa showed its new 6LC85 flat-top at Bauma 2025. It has a maximum capacity of five tonnes (in STA configuration) and a jib that extends in 2.5m increments from 20 to 52.5m. According to Comansa the
6LC85 has been designed with simplified assembly and

dismantling in mind. The jib can be erected either in one piece or section by section. It says assembly takes around six hours and the tower sections enable rapid, bolt- free installation. In many cases assembly can be done directly from the truck, Comansa claims. The crane’s modular design means many parts are interchangeable and compatible with other Comansa 6LC cranes. The 6LC85 comes with the
slewing and hoist mechanisms, the electrical control panel, and safety limiters, all integrated into a compact head design. This, it says, helps reduce installation times. The compact design also aids
with transportability. The crane, in standard configuration (and without a base), can be transported in three trailers. Comansa also claims maintenance requirements are also reduced due to these key components being easily accessible in one place. The 6LC85 has a new

counterweigh system enabling installation of more than one block at once. The counterweights include lifting points for vertical or horizontal lifting. A new aluminium trolley
platform has bigger dimensions and improved safety guards than seen previously, plus it has a new ergonomic operator cabin with

more space and improved visibility. The cab is equipped with interior and exterior lighting, sun curtains, plus thermal and acoustic insulation and air conditioning. A new control screen offers better visibility and functionality, says Comansa, enabling operators to have direct access to maintenance and service functions
FM GRU Italian manufacturer FM Gru also had a stand at Bauma showcasing its topless FM 2065 TLX P10. It has a 65m maximum jib length, a ten-tonne maximum load capacity (with double fall of rope), a tip load of two tonnes, and a 37.9Kw hoisting winch. At Bauma it was installed at a height of 25m, a 46.5m jib, and a painted SK1700 tower section mounted on a 4.5 x 4.5m base. The crane featured: radio
remote control; a Deluxe cabin with air conditioning and heating; a black box and zoning system; plus, enhanced protection for the trolley and hoisting motors. In conclusion, despite recent challenging business conditions the sheer number of tower crane innovations on display at Bauma highlights the resilience and innovation within the sector demonstrating that it remains strong, dynamic and full of opportunity.
