McNally’s LTR11200 in Australia

The new Liebherr LTR11200 1,200 tonne telescopic crawler crane owned by Irish based McNallys crane hire has started work on the Waterloo wind farm near Clare, South Australia - around 100km north of Adelaide.

The project involves the installation of 37 Vestas V90-3MW turbines that the Danish company is installing and managing for Roaring 40s Renewable Energy, a partnership between China Light & Power and Hydro Tasmania.

As our photo shows the turbines are being erected on the edge of a rocky ridge with some fairly steep slopes, the narrow tracked LTR11200 is proving to be the ideal tool for the job.
