CRAWLER CRANES Ӏ LATTICE BOOMS
remove parts of the old and demolished Aabachbrücke bridge, each weighing up to 150t. That was followed up with setting the new bridge – with a net weight of 230t – in place in Niederuster, near Zurich. As the parallelogram-shaped bridge was classed as a sensitive load Toggenburger had to ensure the maximum permissible forces at the attachment points were not exceeded. This was achieved by integrating strand jacks into the slinging gear, to enable each line to be controlled individually, thereby distributing the load evenly. In India Sany’s 750t SCC7500A was used in the installation of a steel bridge at Vikhroli Railway Station in Mumbai. As the bridge traversed the existing railway tracks the crane had to lift the 180t bridge at a working radius of more than 40m. The project also had a major restriction: the station is a key transport hub between Mumbai’s city centre and surrounding towns, and the resultant high levels of train traffic limited work time to less than one hour a day. The SCC7500A was originally
developed specifically for the Indian wind power market, adds Sany, with more than 20 units sold in the subcontinent so far. Istanbul-headquartered

which reaches 216m in full configuration, as ‘a key piece of equipment for mega projects’. “At Hareket we are opening
the doors to a new era in large- scale projects with our new crawler crane with a capacity of 2,200 tonnes,” says Abdullah Altunkum, chief executive officer at the company. “We are proud to take this important step to take part in mega projects and use our engineering services more effectively. We aim to have a total lifting capacity of 4,000t

with a second 2,200t capacity crane, which is among our future investment plans.” Lifting capacity is not the only consideration amongst manufacturers and buyers of cranes, though. One key advantage of the 275t-capacity SCX2800A-3 from Sumitomo Heavy Industries Construction Cranes (HSC) is its new-generation Cummins L9 engine, which helps to ensure that the crane complies with EU Stage V exhaust emission regulations. Multiple units of the crane equipped with the Stage V-compliant engine have been sold into Europe and Korea since its launch, says the manufacturer, while the crane is also available with a Stage 3A-compliant engine.
