Italian tower crane manufacturer Raimondi has launched the T87 flat top tower crane, available with a three or five tonne maximum capacity, which extends its T Series range and replaces the MRT85.
The cranes share modular mechanical and structural components with other models in the T Series, with the first 10 units already delivered and erected on sites in Italy and France.

The five tonne version offers a maximum jib tip capacity of 1.38 tonnes at 51 metres in UltraLift two/four fall configuration and a maximum hoist speed of 78.7 metres a minute with a 22 kW hoist. The three tonne unit offers a jib tip capacity of 1.43 tonnes at 51 metres in two fall configuration with a hoist speed of 82.13 metres a minute with the same 22kW hoist. The cranes are also equipped with Raimondi’s ConCore control system, which is designed to simplify commissioning and troubleshooting.

The crane has a lightweight overall design, with the heaviest single component weighing less than three tonnes, and an eight metre counterjib. This allows the complete 51 metre jib, including counterweights, to be transported using two articulated trucks. The cranes are aimed at small to medium sized construction projects, particularly where transport, access and space constraints are an important factor.
Raimondi sales director Mauro Masetti said: “With its engineering refinements and jobsite adaptability, the T87 is set to become the optimal choice for contractors seeking a high performing, easily managed flat top tower crane.”
