Enercon gets telescopic crawler cranes
Enercon, the manufacturer of wind turbines took over two telescopic crawler cranes type LTR 1100 from Liebherr. The cranes will take part in preassemblies of wind power plants in wind farms. The great flexibility and short term rigging of this crane type where decisive arguments for the decision in favour of the LTR 1100. The cranes can be rigged completely including crawler tracks, counterweight and central ballast without asissting crane. Enercon will transport the LTR 1100 with complete ballast with only two low loaders.
Terex-Demag introduces CC 9800 crawler crane
This month crane manufacturer Terex-Demag will introduce the new CC 9800 crawler crane at the Zweibrücken factory. The crane is based on the known CC 8800-1. Rope system and hook block are already known from the bigger CC 8800-1 Twin. The new 1600 tonne crawler crane uses a 4 m wide boom system in order to gain a maximum load moment of 27000 tonne metres with attached superlift counterweight of 800 tonnes. The longest possible boom configurations are 156 m for the main boom and 120 m for the luffing jib. In combination the maximum lenght for the SWSL configuration is 108 + 120 m.
With 132 m of main boom and 18 m extension the crane fits perfectly for the assembly of the new Enercon E 126 wind turbines. This allows impressing lifting capacities of 360 tonnes to a hook height of 144 m.
The first customer, Sarens Group from Belgium, will take delivery of the new crane in January 2009. A second unit was already ordered from wind turbine manufacturer Enercon.
