Ferrari HQ expansion for new Raimondi T147

Milan-Italy based crane sales, rental, assistance and assembly firm Assistedile Srl., has supplied and installed the very first of a new Raimondi model, the T147 flat-top tower crane, at a high-profile construction site: the expansion of automotive manufacturer Ferrari’s headquarters in Milan, Italy.

“The deployment of the Raimondi T147 on this prestigious jobsite represents a milestone for our company,” says Luciano Friso, director general at Assistedile. “We have of pleasure working on the expansion of Ferrari’s headquarters by renting this model to Ediltecno Restauri, contractor of the project.” 

Assistedile Srl. is a Raimondi Cranes agent for the Milan, Monza, and Brianza regions. The purchase of the T147 took its rental fleet total to 130 cranes, 107 of which are from Raimondi.

Part of the Class 110 series, the T147 is a weight-optimised machine with part inter-changeability. The flat-top is freestanding at 42m with a jib length of 45m and a tip load of 3.58t in Ultralift. This, says Raimondi, makes it well suited for job sites of small to medium dimensions.

The crane was deployed onsite by Assistedile’s operations team with the support of a Raimondi field technician to supervise the installation process.

The first stage of the jib and counterjib preparation took place at ground level. The T147, with a maximum lifting capacity of 8t at two falls configuration, was erected using a 200t mobile crane over two days. The flat-top is expected to remain onsite for approximately 10 to 12 additional months, until project completion.

“The versatility of this crane, combined with its excellent performance in terms of lifting capacity, corresponds well to current markets requirements,” said Friso. “When in-stalled with a 37kW hoisting gear, the T147 can lift at a maximum speed of 105m/min and have a drum capacity of 620m.”

Equipped with the ConCore control system, the Class 110 series has several technical and operational advancements, Raimondi highlights. It says end users have access to improved error diagnostics, faster commissioning, and enhanced overall safe-ty, alongside the part modularity and jib element interchangeability.

“In line with our core values of offering optimal products matched by superior customer service two Assistedile specialists participated in Raimondi’s in-house product training program to gain insights on practical and theoretical applications of the company’s newest technologies,” Friso added.
