HIGHLIGHTS
Eight Terex luffing jib tower cranes were chosen by Select Plant Hire to help deliver The
Shard in London, the glass-clad 87-floor tower,
the tallest building in the EU at a height of
310m. This project broke records by placing
the tallest crane, a CTL 180-16, at a height of
317m with the help of a mega tie system
specially designed by Select, which used 20m
long lattice steel structures.
The first crane models used were two Terex
CTL 400 -24 luffing jib tower cranes configured with 40 and 50m jib lengths to lift com
ponents weighing up to 19,5t. Model one was
mounted on a 185m steel cantilever grillage;
model two was erected on a 132m reinforced
concrete foundation, anchored with a mega
tie at 93m.

To be able to handle the increase in passengers and meet the demand for larger cargo
volumes, Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai has been continuously expanding since 2006. Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is building a new multi-story parking structure and a
new air traffic control tower, and is relying on
their Terex CTT 181-8 and CTT 231-10 tower
cranes to do the job.
Construction work near Indias largest airport and in the country s most populated area
while keeping the airport open during the construction phase is definitely a challenge.

allowed long-term conservation work to be carried out including stabilization, repair, waterproofing and partial reconstruction. To help
with the restoration, the WMF decided the best
way forward was to use a compact and easily
transportable self-erecting tower crane for lifting and placing materials. They chose a Terex
CBR 24 Plus.
A substantial raised reinforced concrete
platform was constructed to form a solid base
for the crane. Once the platform was completed, the Terex CBR 24 Plus was transported up
the hill to the temple along a very small and
steep pedestrian path that was widened by a
locally rented bulldozer. After the crane was
erected it was ready to assist with the restoration work.
