Mobility and manoeuverability are not the only reasons why Western Canada is going to benefit from our Liebherr LTM 1650. In this article, we are going to highlight another quality that this magnificent machine boasts: time efficiency!
The time efficiency of this crane is a major benefit to the industry as it's far reach and high load capacity are met with a faster load out, a faster set-up, and a faster de-mob meaning that the project is done quickly and more economically. In a side-by-side comparison with industry alternatives for 100+ ton lifts, this unit will get the job done up to 75% more efficiently, from the point of dispatch to the moment the crane arrives back to the yard.
In today’s example, the crusher at a mine in the northern interior of BC has broken down and needs to be lifted out of place to be repaired. The crusher weighs 254,000 lbs and can only be accessed from one area at a 50’ radius. Other than the LTM 1650, the only suitable crane to perform this lift in Western Canada would be a 350-ton crawler crane. In addition to the fact that the crawler would likely have to travel from as far as Alberta to perform this work, the time it would take for the 1650 to be on the road from an initial call out is far quicker. Taking permitting time into account, the crawler can potentially be delayed prior to mobilization while the LTM 1650 requires no additional travel permits. The LTM 1650 would require 7 fall-off loads (all pre-loaded and ready to dispatch) to follow behind the crane, whereas the crawler would need 11 loads, each one requiring at least one hour to load and secure the trailers. Once the LTM 1650 arrives on site, the set-up time of the crane to be hoist ready is far quicker than a crawler. Also it does not need an assist crane for its entire rig-up, making for a more economical mob and rig-up cost. Another beneficial option the 1650 offers would be to install the boom off-site where space permits, creating less of a disruption at the lift local and taking up less of a footprint during rig-up. The combined efficiencies of the speed and manoeuverability of the LTM 1650, make it an effective asset to the industry of the region and a logical choice to call on.
