Raimondi Cranes delivers five pre-orders of newly launched LR213 luffing crane

The largest luffing crane in the Raimondi range, the LR213 is available with five different jib length configurations, from a maximum jib length of 55m to a minimum jib length of 28m, which can all reach the maximum capacity of 14t. The max tip load with 55m jib configuration is 2.25t.

“Raimondi’s new luffing crane can lift the maximum load without reduction of capacity with the full jib of 55m. This not only increases loading capacity, but also increases speed and additional rope capacity. There is flexibility in choice with the LR213 as two different new hoisting winches at 55kW or 75kW are available – specifically designed for luffing cranes -  to have increased speed paired with more control and more rope capacity at both power levels,” said Domenico Ciano, technical director at Raimondi Cranes.

The crane is paired with Raimondi’s new Deluxe R16 crane cabin and features a new control system and tie-rod.

Ciano added that the crane is easy to maintain, with hoisting and luffing winches mounted on the big counter jib platform. An increased counter jib surface is a result of the two lateral big service platforms. All the safety mechanisms and electronic devices are located on the counter jib, facilitating access for technicians and operators.

“Contractors will appreciate that the LR213 has the capacity to carry a rope of 1,000m on its drum allowing for a lifting capacity of 14t in four falls at a working height of 250m. This aspect influenced contractor Harina of Spain’s choice to employ three LR213s on its latest jobsite in Qatar, the JW Marriot Hotel West Bay which stands at height of 250 meters,” said Ciano.

Deliveries of the new crane have already commenced from the heritage crane manufacturer’s headquarters in Italy, fulfilling five pre-launch orders submitted by Raimondi agents across three continents.
