US tower crane and hoist rental company Morrow has supplied a second 50 tonne Liebherr 1000 EC-H 50 high-top tower crane to the Crazy Horse Memorial project in South Dakota’s Black Hills.
The 1000 EC-H 50 has a maximum capacity of 50 tonnes and a maximum working radius of 80 metres, with a jib tib capacity of 11.5 tonnes.
The first Liebherr at work on the memorial project
The Crazy Horse Memorial involves carving a 172 metre high, 195 metre wide representation of Lakota leader Crazy Horse into Thunderhead Mountain. The first 1000 EC-H has been used to handle granite blocks, tools and prefabricated elements, and the second crane will support lifting operations on the upper sections of the monument.
A spokesperson for the project said: “The Liebherr 1000 EC-H provides the performance and dependability we need for such a unique environment. Its stability and precision are essential to our daily operations on the mountain.”
Founded in 1968, Morrow is based in Salem, Oregon and operates North America’s largest tower crane fleet from locations throughout the USA and Canada. It is also a dealer of Liebherr tower cranes.
