along the route. A powerful LCS cable crane system was installed for the restoration of a penstock at the Obere Sill hydropower plant near Innsbruck, Austria, which was located directly under the famous Europa Bridge, one of the largest bridges in Europe.


Tailing dams For a major project in South America, LCS developed


the innovative QXcrane system for personnel safety during maintenance work on tailing dams. This system enables movement within the work area and immediate evacuation in case of danger at the Forquilha III tailings dams in Brazil. The QXcrane combines the robustness of cable cranes, which transport high loads over distances up to 3km, with the 3D navigation capabilities of SpiderCams used in sports stadiums. This combination increases payload capacity and area coverage.


The QXcrane system can: Cover an area with a diagonal of approx. 1000 m, whether square or rectangular Transport material of up to 500kg or three persons (125kg each)


Lower the load or personnel at any point Enable safe working within the defined working area and navigation in the 3-dimensional area.


Cable Crane trends


Construction cable cranes offer an ideal solutions for pumped storage projects. They can provide transport and logistical solutions for hard-to-reach areas that are not accessible by roads, as well as enabling the construction of penstocks in remote and inaccessible areas.
