Raimondi Cranes has unveiled the latest heavyweight addition to its advanced luffing range, the LR372. Equipped with Raimondi?s next generation high performance winches, the LR372 is a 370 ton-meter class luffing tower crane with a maximum jib length of 60 m and a maximum capacity of 20,000 kg in two falls configuration. At the maximum radius, the LR372 can lift 3,795 kg using Ultralift mode, making this Raimondi?s most powerful luffing crane to date.

?Following our internal tests and procedural checks, the LR372 was in testing phase for a total of three months. This short period of time was possible due to the crane?s main design engineering aspects being based off of the luffing LR330 that was launched last year,? said Eng. Domenico Ciano, Chief Executive Officer, Raimondi Cranes.

The LR372?s luffing movement, using the new 75 kW winch, is equipped with a standard emergency brake. The raise of the jib from 14.5? to 85? takes approximately 2.1 minutes with full load. ?In terms of the hoisting movement, the LR372 is powered by the 110 kW winch with 880 m rope capacity, and is equipped with the hydraulic emergency brake as a standard feature. Thanks to its outstanding drum capacity, the LR372 can work up to 380 m with two falls and 820 m with one fall. The LR372 can reach a maximum lifting speed of approximately 256 m per minute,? said Ciano.

He pointed out that the new slewing movement on this crane is driven by the two 15 kW motors fully controlled by inverters, allowing it to reach a slewing speed of 0.8 rpm.

?The first two LR372s will be delivered immediately to Raimondi?s official South Korean agent, Hansung Prime Co Ltd, for a noteworthy large-scale development in Busan. The new cranes will be installed to reach heights of 222 m and 228 m, respectively, with Raimondi?s innovative EC6L external climbing system,? said Eng. Mauro Masetti, Chief Commercial Officer, Raimondi Cranes.
