CRANAGE AND HEAVY LIFTING
Visitors to the Linden Comansa booth will
be able to learn about the LCL310 luffing
jib crane — the first time a luffer has ever
been displayed by Linden Comansa in the
Americas. The Linden Comansa group
will also highlight other cranes and new
developments recently launched leading up
to ConExpo:
• Making its first appearance ever at
ConExpo, the LCL 310 luffing-jib tower
crane comes in three versions: 12, 18
and 24 tonnes. Its maximum jib length
is 60 metres, allowing different jib
configurations for maximum reaches
every 5 metres. This luffing-jib crane, with
a compact design and reduced out-of-
service position is ideal for use in cities or
congested job sites.
• Although not displayed in Las Vegas, the
LCL700 luffer will be another good reason
to visit Linden Comansa’s booth. This new
model, the largest luffing-jib crane in the
Linden Comansa lineup, will be officially
launched just a few weeks before ConExpo
and will be offered in 50 and 64 tonne
versions. The virtues of the LCL700 make
this crane to fit perfectly in the US and
Canada markets, as well as in the large
cities of Latin America. Linden Comansa
expects to receive many information
requests from the ConExpo attendees.
• Large flat-top tower cranes have been
traditionally most common in North
America, and also Linden Comansa’s
most successful in the region. Therefore,
the 21LC335 and 21LC550 models will be
highlighted during the show, as they have
been recently upgraded and optimised to
load up to 20 and 25 tonnes respectively.
• The 21LC450 crane is another recently
developed flat-top model with a good
reception in the North American market.
Linden Comansa will be spreading this
model, with maximum load capacity of 25
tonnes, of which some units have already
been delivered to the West Coast.
• The 3000 Series of flat-top tower cranes
consists of two models with heavy
maximum loads, from 32 to 90 tonnes.
These cranes cover the necessities of the
industrial and infrastructure construction
market, not only in the Americas but in the
entire world.
The LC1600 Series features an integrated
tower top and counter-jib into one
component. With maximum loads from 8
to 12 tonnes, its three models are already
having a strong entry in many Latin
American countries.
With a wide variety of recently introduced
Linden Comansa models, the ConExpo
visitors will have more equipment choices to
select from to better meet their next project
or their local market needs — whether from
North or Latin America, where the majority
of trade show visitors will be from due to the
show's US location.
Bill Carbeau, Linden Comansa America’s
vice president of business development
anticipates a busy show: “The North
American market remains upbeat, many
projects are ready to be released, and
analysts are predicting positive growth
within our industry. Therefore, we encourage
contractors to visit our booth so we can
better inform them about the capabilities
of our cranes that can improve productivity,
along with the outstanding service and
support that has built our reputation.”
The upcoming display will be Linden
Comansa and Linden Comansa America’s
fifth consecutive participation at ConExpo.
Linden Comansa America was founded
in 2002 to service NAFTA countries with
sales, engineering, training as well as parts
and service support. Its facility, located
in Pineville near Charlotte, North Carolina,
includes the main North American sales and
support offices as well as a large warehouse
for tower crane components, spare parts
and technical training.
LCL310 crane at ConExpo
Linden Comansa will participate at the upcoming 2017 ConExpo-Con/Agg
trade show, which will take place from 7-11March in Las Vegas, Nevada,
USA. As in previous editions, Linden Comansa will exhibit along with Linden
Comansa America (LCA), the manufacturer’s exclusive North American
distribution and service company.
The luffing-jib crane LCL310 is ideal for
congested jobsites, such as this power plant.
The LCL310 crane is also ideal for high rise
construction projects.
