DEME’s Orion Arrives in Rostock for 5,000t Crane Installation
Game changing installation vessel ‘Orion’ enters final construction phase with installation of 5,000-tonne crane
With a fleet of three L1-32 already hard at work, timber construction company, Heims Holzbau based 10kms South East of Hamburg decided on ordering another three. Benjamin Heims, managing director of timber construction company Heims Holzbau, “…with 30-metre radius, a standard hook height of 21.3 metres and a 4-tonne maximum load capacity … it’s a good thing when all employees are always able to work with the same crane. It makes everything easier, quicker and safer for everyone involved.”
In addition to its dimensions, the L1-32 also impresses with its efficient transport logistics and flexible ballast concept. As is usual for a crane of this class, two trucks are needed to transport the L1-32. However, with special attention given to logistics, the L1-32 also offers the option of being driven to its site using just one transport vehicle. In this case, the crane, with its low-speed axle and five tonnes of basic ballast as well as ten tonnes of additional ballast, can be transported to a site via a standard three-axle towing vehicle.
