Petrochemical Industry and Power Plants

Where safety and accuracy are essential

If 100% is what you need – LR crawler cranes are your partner

Petrochemical installations and power plants are not a playground. One hundred percent reliability, safety and accuracy are required when construction works are executed. No matter if we are talking the setup of a completely new plant, the renovation of an existing installation or the maintenance of a facility.

This is exactly where our LR cranes come into play. With loads up to 3,000 t, our crawler cranes are able execute every possible lifting job in these applications while offering the highest possible level of safety for the crane operators and the surroundings – on flat land as well as in mountainous areas.
