Terex Cranes show their capabilities both sides of the Atlantic working with heavy lifts

Lifting Lattice Floodlight Towers at Port

For the BBL Lüneburg railway construction company, crane service provider Lange Krandienst GmbH recently dismantled four lattice floodlight towers at the Deutsche Bahn rail yard located at the Rostock Port. The company used a Terex AC350/6, together with a Terex AC 80 as an auxiliary crane for a tandem lift, which proved to be quite demanding.

With a total length of only 16.7 (54.8 ft) meters, the AC 350/6 is the smallest Terex 6 axle and most compact mobile crane in the 350 tonne capacity class.

With a length of 12.11 meters, the Terex AC 80 2 is the shortest four axle crane in the 80 tonne capacity class. A maximum load moment is 255 meter tonnes powered by a 422 HP diesel engine, which together with a convenient 6 speed automatic transmission gives the crane its good handling performance.

This approach proved to be so cost effective that it enabled Lange to outbid an alternative solution that was being considered: the use of a helicopter.

The recently completed multi-year renovation project for the rail yard facilities at the Rostock Port rendered the lattice floodlight towers, used to illuminate the various working areas, obsolete.
