Terex Comedil’s biggest ever luffing jib tower crane has been erected in the City of London.
The CTL 630, which lifts a maximum of 32t and 9.5t at 60m, is being used by contractor Skanska on the Swiss Re building project in London. It was erected last month with a 54m tower and 60m jib. In due course the tower will reach 150m high, tied into the structure of the building.
The same model has also been sold to Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd, which is scheduled to be shipped to the Bahamas for erection before the end of the year. This unit will have a 30m tower and 50m luffing jib, and will by rail mounted, travelling on a portal base. The shipyard has an option for a second unit.
