New Raimondi T187 flat-top tower crane deployed for major Hungarian historic building renovation

News: 26 June 2024

  • Mamut Daru Kft. takes delivery of its first Raimondi model, a T187 flat-top tower crane
  • The 10t flat-top is installed in Budapest for the renovation of the Hungarian Academy of Science
  • Equipped with Lumina crane cabin, the T187 boasts the best-in class specifications of its category

Mamut Daru Kft., established Hungarian rental fleet company of heavy lifting solutions, purchased and deployed its first Raimondi T187 tower crane for a major building revamp in Budapest.

The prestigious project involves the renovation of the main building and the library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, a scientific public body that will soon celebrate its 200th anniversary. Given the historical and cultural importance of the building, the project is one of the most notable jobsites in the country also ranking significantly in the European historic places landscape.

“We decided to expand our rental fleet with the company’s first Raimondi crane, a new T187; we opted for this model for its the excellent specifications in terms of lifting capabilities and speed,” stated Balogh Csaba, General Manager, Mamut Daru. Csaba explained that the weight-optimized components facilitating the installation procedure, coupled with crane’s maximum lifting capacity of 10t, played a crucial role when deciding which model to rent to the project’s contractor.

Deployed in February 2024 with the support of a Raimondi operations team, the T187 is erected with a jib length of 55m at a freestanding height of 47.5m. Boasting a tip load of 3.14t, the crane can lift at a maximum speed of 115 meters (m/min) in the 37kW winch version, having a drum capacity of 620m. The modularity of parts and interchangeability of the T Series components figured into the purchase decision, Csaba said, citing future fleet expansion planning with additional Raimondi’s models.

“Participating in such a renowned refurbishment marks a milestone for our company. A significant responsibility, there were technical challenges to consider due to the site location and nature. Preserving the historic in-use buildings while working within tight site confines required precise crane positioning planning, excellent site coordination and accurate, precise work from the participants of the installation” stated Peter Kaszoni, Head of Tower Cranes.
