The EXCON Exhibition in Bangalore, India, provided a suitable setting for representatives of executive management from Sobha Developers Private Ltd and the Liebherr Tower Crane Division to celebrate the recent handover of four heavy duty 550 EC-H 20 Litronic tower cranes. These cranes are installed at the Sobha Dream Acres project in Bangalore. Three of the cranes are in rail going execution, whilst the fourth crane is stationary on foundation anchors. The supply of these your cranes was based on a requirement from Sobha for heavy lifts associated with the state of the art pre-cast technology they are using for this project. The maximum lift of 20 tonnes on the cranes is the optimal solution in this case with ideal capacities at all required radii to lift the typical 8-12 tonne pre-cast parts into position.

Liebherr is increasing the overall service life of its Fibre ropes from 14 to 16 years, with the decisive period of use rising to up to 12 years. This is based on multi-year ageing trials on test rigs and analyses of ropes already in field. The new ruling applies automatically to all new ropes and those already in the field. This step forms part of Liebherr's ongoing path towards establishing Fibre technology as the new standard in the tower crane market.
