Dutch contractor Mammoet has welcomed its inaugural Liebherr LR12500 crane, poised to revolutionize heavy lifting in the construction sector.
With a staggering lifting capacity of 2500 tonnes and an impressive 200-meter hook height, this colossal equipment stands ready to facilitate the assembly of future energy and infrastructure projects amidst escalating component sizes.
“Increasingly massive offshore wind turbine components, such as 1000-tonne nacelles and 2000-tonne tower sections, underscore the critical need for advanced lifting capabilities,” remarked a spokesperson from Mammoet. “Our new LR12500 crane ensures that these large-scale components can be efficiently transported and assembled, bolstering both project timelines and operational assurance.”
Designed for versatility, the LR12500 features a robust high-performance boom that enhances stability while minimizing its own weight, thereby optimizing cost-efficiency and sustainability in mobilization efforts. Its ability to fold into compact dimensions ensures compliance with transport regulations without compromising on power or performance.
“With a 100-meter main boom and a 108-meter luffing jib, the LR12500 achieves a remarkable 200-meter maximum hook height,” the spokesperson continued. “Backed by dual engines for redundancy, this crane guarantees uninterrupted operation, even under challenging conditions, reinforcing reliability as a cornerstone of our service.”
As global infrastructure projects continue to expand in complexity and scale, Mammoet's investment in the LR12500 heralds a new era of efficiency and capability in heavy lifting, promising substantial benefits for both construction methodologies and environmental impact.
