Dutch international heavy lift and transport company Roll Group has completed the first two lifts with its new RMG Modular Gantry Crane system in Indonesia. Both lifts exceeded 1,000 tons and were carried out at a petrochemical facility in Cilegon.
The gantry crane has a maximum capacity of 3,000 tons and can be erected to a height of 120 metres, but for the lifts in Cilegon, the system was erected to a height of 97 metres. A 1,250 ton Demag CC6800-1 crawler crane was also as a tail-in crane for the largest tower component which had an overall weight of 1,060 tons. The system is able to operate without the need for guy wires, minimising disruption on site.
Once the Cilegon Project is complete, the gantry will head to the Middle East where it will remain for the next two years.
oll Group has started the fabrication of a second gantry system which will be available by the end of the year which the company says will: “have enhanced capacities and capabilities ensuring that we remain at the forefront of the evolving market landscape.”
Roll Group offers transport, lifting and installation of heavy cargo via land and sea. It operates a large fleet of cranes with a capacity up to 4,000 tonnes operating predominately within oil, gas and renewable energies.
