• 7 LTR 1100 telescopic crawler cranes
• 7 LR 1130 crawler cranes

The equipment was delivered by road transport over the course of 1-2 weeks. It took another 1-2 days to rig each crane depending on its configurations. The rented cranes will remain onsite for a full year, constructing steelwork and overhead gantries. Because of the more complex nature of some lifts, selecting the proper equipment, placement, and configuration has been vital to ensuring adequate boom clearance and ultimately, successful installations.

Sarens is proud to support this pivotal initiative by providing several cranes, and was selected specifically for their competitive offer, deep industry knowledge, and equipment size and capacity.
