Linden Comansa introduces new luffing-jib crane
Linden Comansa has launched the LCL700, the largest in its range of luffing-jib tower cranes to date. Two versions of the LCL700 are launched on the global market, with maximum load capacities of 64 and 50 tonne (141,090 and 110,230 lb). By means of simple manual modifications, the maximum load capacity of the cranes can be reduced to 32 and 25 tonne, respectively (70, 550 and 55, 120 lb), resulting in increased hoist speed and productivity. This change on the hoist system from double line to single pull line is one of the many improvements that have been implemented into this model based on recommendations from Linden Comansa clients.

The maximum radius of the LCL700 is 65 m (213.3 ft) and can be reduced in increments of 5 m to 30 (98.4 ft). The LCL700 64t can lift a maximum load of 7.2 tonne at maximum reach (15,870 lb), while the LCL700 50t can lift 7.5 t (16,530 lb). The minimum reach of both models is just 4 m (13.1 ft), allowing maximum use of the space at the construction site. The LCL700 also boasts an excellent 'out-of-service' jib radius of between 20.4 and 16 m (66.9-52.5 ft), depending on the maximum reach, providing a greater level of safety on the construction site when the crane is not in use.
