Bigge’s AFRD super heavy lifter
US lifting and transport company Bigge has unveiled what it claims is the world’s greatest super crane. The AFRD will “completely revolutionise the way nuclear power plants will be constructed,” Bigge said.
It is designed to be scalable to meet the size and lifting capacities required. Benefits cited by Bigge said that construction schedules will be improved and erection sequences will be more flexible. Bigge said that the first two units of the super heavy lift crane are in production and scheduled to be in service in 2011.
Look out for more details as they become available.
