Raimondi unveils new range of flat-top tower cranes
Raimondi Cranes, the heritage manufacturer of intelligently designed machinery, presented the latest addition to its flat-top tower crane range during the opening of The Big 5 Construct Saudi in Riyadh. The Raimondi T577 flat-top tower crane presents a maximum jib length of 80m, and a tip load of 3,140kg in Ultralift mode. It has a maximum lifting capacity of 24,000kg, with four falls configuration. Ten different jib length combinations - from 80m to 36m - with the last three configurations offering shorten jibs and counter-jibs, improve crane stability; this coupled with enhanced versatility in tower configurations, allow for greater flexibility in terms of freestanding heights, and satisfy a broad spectrum of jobsite requirements. The Raimondi delegation was headed by Chairman Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, alongside senior leadership team members. Joining Prince Khaled onsite was Group CEO Luigi Maggioni and General Manager of Raimondi Middle East Wael Hasan, to introduce the company's latest designs to valued clients and stakeholders. Fully conceptualized and developed in-house, the new flat-top crane aims to support the international increase in demand for machines with greater lifting capacities, offering high efficiency, precision, and ease of operations. "We are pleased to present the Raimondi T577 flat-top tower crane to the global construction audience," remarked Maggioni. "We had planned to launch during Big5 Construct in Riyadh to allow our regional clients first-look at the specifications, as this crane is designed to support large infrastructure construction projects – specifically those in Saudi and the wider GCC," he stated. The T577 is well matched to large-scale development jobsites due to its maximum lifting speed of 21.88 meters per minute (m/min) with 110kW hoisting gear, and drum capacity of 1,030m. The hoisting winch is fitted with an emergency hydraulic brake, further enhancing the overall safety. "High-capacity flat-tops remain in high demand in the GCC; particularly in Saudi Arabia where developers prioritize topless tower cranes with 24-ton capacity and above, essential for large-scale projects," stated Hasan. The increasing use of precast and steel structures, especially in fast-track projects, is further driving demand for efficient lifting solutions shaping the region's construction landscape, he added. According to him, the newest in the Raimondi T Series product range, the flat-top is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability with both mechanical and electronic advancements; allowing for increased productivity, safety, and enhanced user-interface.
