175 is 11 USt (10 t), while the maximum jib length is 180 ft (55 m). Tip capacity is 1.65 USt (1.5 t) when working with the full 180 ft (55 m) jib, or 3 USt (2.7 t) if fitted with 164 ft (50 m) of jib. Maximum line speed is 705 ft/min (215 m/ min) when working with the high-performance 90HPL25 hoist. The crane’s unique design, with its fixed counter jib and topless structure, facilitates its trademark fast erection and dismantling, as well as making it more compact for transport, needing only four standard containers. The elements weigh under 8.5 USt (7.7 t), and there is a single counter-jib/jib foot package.

The topless design also means less space is needed on sites where multiple cranes overfly the job site and the hydraulic design means no wire rope installation is needed. It also means a smaller assist crane is needed for erection as there is no cathead to assemble.

Potain’s hydraulic luffing design features a shorter counter-jib and out-of-service radius than ropeluffing alternatives. This frees up valuable space on job sites, with the MRH 175 delivering an outof-service radius of only 33.5 ft (10.2 m), regardless of jib length. Freestanding heights of up to 206 ft (62.8 m) are available with the 6.5 ft (2 m) K-mast sections, and the crane is also compatible with 5.2 ft (1.6 m) K-mast sections.

On the hoisting drum, up to 3,136 ft (956 m) of rope is available with the 90HPL25 winch, allowing users to choose either 1,568 ft (478 m) in a two-fall configuration with a 5.5 USt (5 t) maximum capacity or 784 ft (239 m) in a four-fall configuration with an 11 USt (10 t) maximum capacity. Luffing the crane from the horizontal to vertical is efficient, taking less than two minutes, delivering optimum productivity on the job site.

“Hydraulic luffing topless cranes have a very strong future in our industry, and we’ve been pleased with the uptake over the past two years,” said Le Besnerais. “Potain customers have seen the advantages these new cranes deliver and how they help them achieve a stronger return on investment on their projects. We have a strong technical training program to accompany our new MRH cranes, and the feedback from the market has been very positive.”

The Hup M 28-22 is the third model from the groundbreaking Hup selferecting crane range and the first to prioritize mobility. It’s making its North American debut, complete with an all-new integrated transport axle designed for the local market. The double-steering axle gives the

model better job site accessibility and enables it to travel at speeds of up to 50 mph (80 km/h). It provides best-in-class compactness, measuring just 38 ft (11.6 m) when folded. It is the most compact crane in its category, enabling it to easily move from site to site and to be maneuvered into narrow, restricted spaces at the job site. The crane has a 92 ft (28 m) jib and features 16 configurations, which is unique to this category of crane, and this enables it to be easily adapted for a range of applications.

“The new Hup M 28-22 optimizes mobility, productivity and versatility for our customers by combining the best engineering designs with the latest software and technology,” said Le Besnerais. “Its design and capabilities make it a perfect choice for homebuilding or renovation works.”

Liebherr to exhibit extensive range of latest construction machine products

About 30 types construction machines will be featured at North America’s largest construction machinery trade show

Altogether, Liebherr’s products will fill more than 53,000 ft² (4,900 m²) Liebherr’s innovative products will be on display at Conexpo-Con/Agg 2020. Liebherr is showcasing an extensive selection of earthmoving and construction equipment.

Altogether, Liebherr’s products will fill more than 53,000 ft2 (4,900 m²), providing room for hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, crawler loaders and tractors, deep foundation machines, material handlers, tower cranes, mobile and crawler cranes, as well as a concrete pump.

Two new cranes for the American market: the LTM 1650-8.1 mobile crane and the LR 1800-1.0 crawler crane The LTM 1650-8.1 is designed to deliver maximum performance. The new Liebherr mobile crane has large shoes to fill as it is the successor to the best-selling large crane of all time – almost 600 units of the LTM 1500-8.1 have been delivered to date. The successful concept of the two telescopic boom versions is continued – the LTM 1650-8.1 is available with 177 ft and 263 ft (54 and 80 m) telescopic booms.

In designing the new 8-axle crane, Liebherr focused on maximum load capacities. The LTM 1650-8.1 travels with an axle load of 26,400 lb (12 t) complete with its 177 ft (54 m) telescopic boom and the front supports.

To minimize set-up time, however, the rear supports are installed as complete support box in a single hoist and connected using quickrelease couplings. As with all new developments over the last few years, Liebherr can offer the LTM 1650-8.1 with a very wide range of transport weights and axle load versions to ensure cost-effective global mobility for axle loads both above and below 26,400 lb (12t).

Outstanding lifting capacities and

26 Lifting Africa - Jan/Feb 2020 low cost transport around the world are the main features of Liebherr’s new 880 US-tons (800 t) crawler crane. The LR 1800-1.0 is designed as a particularly powerful industrial crane for jobs with a luffing jib and derrick system, such as power plant construction and the petrochemicals industry.

For the first time, the boom system features lattice sections with three system dimensions which can be telescoped into each other for transport.

The new LR 1800-1.0 is currently the most powerful crawler crane on the market with a basic machine 9,7 ft (3m) wide. It is particularly rigid as a result of its increased design height. A quick connection to raise the superstructure for transport is standard.

The new LR 1800-1.0 also features the derrick ballast with VarioTray – after raising the lattice boom with the large derrick ballast, part of the ballast can be unbolted quickly and easily.

When it comes to productivity: the HS 8200 duty cycle crawler crane

Every centimeter counts

Versatile, adaptable and manoeuvrable: the PALFINGER PCC 57.002 crawler crane performs outstandingly where other cranes fail – whether on off-road terrain or in tight indoor spaces.

A narrow, labyrinthine production hall, solid steel and concrete beams in the masonry and conveyor systems that need to be replaced – a welcome challenge for the latest PCC 57.002 model from PALFINGER’s crawler crane range.

Working in the tightest of spaces Thanks to its crane geometry – a combination of slimline design, sophisticated kinematics and high-precision control – the PCC 57.002 can lift heavy loads in low passageways and other areas where construction workers have to mind their heads.

The PALFINGER crawler crane’s double linkage system ensures that heavy loads can be lifted – including around projecting edges – even in awkward positions and when its knuckle boom system (optionally with fly jib) is overstretched. But above all, the PCC 57.002 can ‘shift’ – in other words, it can be decoupled from its crawler chassis and moved in spaces with restricted headroom using its stabiliser outriggers.

Shifting is particularly useful when the crane needs to pass obstacles without its crawler chassis or if it is necessary to protect sensitive flooring. Shifting on the longitudinal and lateral stabiliser outriggers can also increase stability.

Flexible radio remote control The crawler crane is manoeuvred using the PALFINGER PALCOM P7 radio remote control, always from the best location, through any tight spot and past any obstacle with precision and sensitivity. The radio remote control can be used to level out the entire crane unit using the adjustable telescopic stabilisers.

The H-shaped stabilisation frame ensures optimum stabiliser positioning and lifting capacity.

Mario Eitzlmayer, who was tasked with the transport of machinery during foundry renovations, summarises the benefits: ‘Its compact design, high degree of manoeuvrability and flexible stabilisation options are a big advantage for us, as is, of course, the ability to “shift” – especially in the narrow confines of a production hall. Here, every centimetre really does count.
