Raimondi Cranes to showcase three cranes at bauma 2019

The first of the three cranes to be erected at bauma, Raimondi?s first-ever luffing hydraulic LRH174 launched in 2018, will be positioned alongside the company?s two newest models across its luffing and flattop product ranges. The LRH174, a 10 tonne hydraulic luffer, has a tip load of 2,225 kg in Ultra-lift mode with two falls. The crane can also be utilised in one fall, which allows for a maximum capacity of 5 tonne and a tip load of 2,476 kg.

?We are pleased to present the LRH174 at bauma this year. While there are several LRH174s currently at work in both England and in Australia, we haven?t yet had the opportunity to properly acquaint our global customers with Raimondi?s premier hydraulic luffer,? said Eng. Mauro Masetti, Chief Commercial Officer, Raimondi Cranes, remarking on the company?s decision to erect the crane onsite.

?We felt that showing this product, with its reduced out of service radius of only 10 m, was the ideal complement to our two newest products in the lineup never before shown to the public.? Masetti further elaborated that a traditional luffer requires minimum double the radius of the LRH174?s 10 m out of service radius, one of the crane?s most attractive features.

Eng. Domenico Ciano, Raimondi Chief Operations Officer, added that the LRH174 boasts much easier installation - similar to that of flattop tower cranes - due to the lack of A-frame and tie rods used in traditional luffers. ?The jib is assembled at ground level in only one lift, so that the assembled jib and hoisting winch may be raised. Preparation of the jib, hoisting winch and rope reeving are all completed at ground level reducing work at height requirements, while the hydraulic system provides end-users with smooth and speedy luffing movement,? he said, highlighting some of the product?s key benefits.
