LT Gantry Carrier in operation in China
  
December 2008

The WLL 90 ton portal crane has been completed and is now in operation at Vestas in Tianjin, China. The carrier is a remote controlled self driving crane with hydraulic transmission and hydraulic lashing. Setting new standards in precise handling, the carrier marks a step forward in enabling ‘lightweight’ factories, where the increasingly voluminous turbines are assembled on site using temporary facilities. It is possible to let the carriers work in pairs to reach working loads that meet the weight of even the largest turbine parts.
