Assistedile, a leading Italian provider of construction machinery solutions, has announced the successful installation of the first Raimondi T147 flat-top tower crane in Italy at a project site in the city of Modena. Part of the Class 110 series, the T147 is a weight-optimized machine boasting part interchangeability.

 

With its newest Raimondi T147 flattop tower crane, Assistedile, the official agent for Raimondi Cranes in Milan, Monza, and Brianza, brings its total fleet size to 130 cranes.

 

A Class 110 series crane, the T147 is the 107th Raimondi in the company’s fleet, erected for the first time in the country last October. 

 

It is currently at work in Modena, Italy, on the construction of the new technical and administrative offices of the country’s most renowned automobile manufacturers, Ferrari. 

 

"The deployment of the first Raimondi T147 on this prestigious jobsite represents a milestone for our company. We have of pleasure working on the expansion of Ferrari’s headquarters by renting this model to Ediltecno Restauri, contractor of the project," stated Luciano Friso, Director General, Assistedile. 

 

Friso said: "Assistedile is expanding our rental fleet with our first Class 110 flat-top, further increasing our scope and ability to best serve the country’s construction sector." 

 

"The flat-top is freestanding at 42m with a jib length of 45m and a tip load of 3.58t in Ultralift, making it ideal for jobsites of small to medium dimensions," he noted. 

 

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. When installed with a 37kW hoisting gear, the T147 can lift at a maximum speed of 105m/min and have a drum capacity of 620m," added Friso. 

 

Equipped with the ConCore control system, the Class 110 series cranes boast several technical and operational advancements. End users have access to improved error diagnostics, faster commissioning, and enhanced overall safety, alongside the plusses of mechanical and carpentry part modularity and jib element interchangeability.-TradeArabia News Service
