First LR-11350 P-Boom in SE Asia

Indonesian contractor Guna Teguh Abadi (GTA) Construction has ordered a second 1,350 tonne Liebherr LR 11350 crawler crane, this one with the PowerBoom option, the first in Southeast Asia.

The two cranes will be working in Indonesia’s refineries and gas processing plants as well as fertiliser facilities and raw material smelters. The company specialises in the management of complex major construction projects, along with heavy lifting and haulage, it also takes on mechanical work, steel erection and petrochemical maintenance and piping work.

President Kaoru Hirota said: "Our current LR 11350 performs excellently and we are very satisfied with it. Since we estimate increasing demand for hoisting work over 1,000 tonnes, the decision to buy a second crane of this type was a natural one. We ordered the new crane with the PowerBoom, a parallel boom in the lower section with which the crawler crane can achieve lifting capacities of an 1,800 tonne class crane, making it one of the most powerful crawler cranes in the region.”

"With its minimal derrick radius of 15 metres, the LR 11350 is a great solution for constricted sites. The fact that the crane can also be operated in a main boom only configuration, in other words without the additional derrick boom, is of utmost importance to us compared to other cranes in this class. This versatility is extremely important for our everyday work to enable us to achieve our client’s expectations."
