NCC buys Liebherr Telescopic Crawler Crane
Liebherr has delivered a new LTR 1220 telescopic crawler crane to NCC Ltd Hyderabad for its Nagpur metro project. In this project, the crane hoists girders for the two new metro lines which have a total length of 38 km, thereby the pick-and-carry characteristics of telescopic crawler crane are a great advantage. Liebherr is convinced that the use of such a crane, first time in India, will give a big opening to this technology.
Liebherr LTR cranes are crawler cranes with telescopic booms. They feature short set-up times and particularly high flexibility in use. Fitted with a telescopic boom, it does not need space to assemble and erect the boom.
The LTR 1220 comes with double grouser crawler pads, which are useful in off-road operation. For operation inside a hall or on the road, polyamide plates can be installed on the double-grouser crawler pads to protect the surface of the floor. Fitting of these polyamide plates is a job of few minutes. Another benefit is the fact that they can march with full load, giving a distinct advantage over mobile cranes.
NCC is associated with Liebherr since 2010. They already operate a Liebherr 400 tonne crawler crane and a 200 tonne mobile crane in various projects.
