Extraordinary project – Liebherr 5-axle crane floated to site on a barge

November 18, 2020

By water, land or air? The “Autopista pacífico 2” site, a motorway, tunnel and bridge construction project in the remote forested, high altitude coffee region of Colombia needed a 220 tonne mobile crane. But the only access route by land included a bridge which the crane could not cross due to its 72 tonne operating weight. Carlos Enrique Parra Ibagón, Managing Director of Movitram Grúas S.A.S, and his team carefully weighed up all the options. Finally, they decided to transport the LTM 1220-5.2 to the site by water. However, this required extensive calculations and safety precautions as well as obtaining a series of permits.
