Liebherr LTMs in mammoth airport hangar tandem lift
26 June 2014The Felbermayr Group has used Liebherr LTM 1400-7.1 and LTM 1350-6.1 mobile cranes in a tandem lift of a 190t truss for a new Austrian airport hangar construction.
The lift of the 100m-long truss was part of a steel skeleton erection for a maintenance hangar for business jets at Schwechat Airport, Vienna.
Wels-based crane and heavy load contractor Felbermayr also used three smaller Liebherr mobile cranes for positioning and installing cross and connecting elements.
A total of 800t of steel was lifted to form the hangar structure.
Meanwhile, Felbermayr has been investing in its Eastern European operations with purchases of the Liebherr LR 11000 crawler crane with 1,000t lifting capacity and three large LR 1750 crawler cranes.
The LR 11000 is currently installing a 300t reactor at a refinery near Bucharest.
