Anchorage, Alaska-based construction services provider STG has added a Liebherr LR 1600/2 lattice-boom crawler crane to its fleet. The crane, with a rated heavy-lift capacity of 660 tons, will be delivered to the Port of Anchorage this month. Upon delivery, it will be the largest crawler crane in Alaska.
The company says the crane will join the company's existing fleet of more than a dozen crawler cranes with operating capacities from 30 tons to 250 tons. The 1600/2 crawler will be outfitted with 108 meters of main boom, thus providing a tip height of 354 feet.Â
According to the company, the crane's structure is supported by two-meter tracks, resulting in more limited ground bearing pressure requirements in comparison to other available options. The company says this configuration increases overall stability while making it easier to move the crane to different locations between heavy lifts.
