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 tonnes and were carried out at a petrochemical facility in Cilegon.
A Demag CC6900-1 was used to tail-in
The gantry crane system has a maximum capacity of 3,000 tonnes 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 tonne 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 tonnes. The system is able to operate without the need for guy wires, minimising disruption on site.
The gantry was rigged with a 97 metres lift height
Once the Cilegon Project is complete, the gantry will head to the Middle East where it will remain for the next two years.
The tower is lifted into position
Roll 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.
