Raimondi Cranes dealer inaugurates agency with five LR273 luffing cranes
Raimondi Cranes SpA, a heritage manufacturer of precision heavy lifting machinery, announced the appointment of Korea’s La On as the country’s official dealer of its tower and luffing cranes and its range of crane accessories. The new agency appointment, effective from February 2020, was inaugurated with the sale of the company’s first five Raimondi LR273 luffing cranes.

Ten Raimondi luffing cranes will soon be shipped to the company’s newest dealer. According to the company news release, two of the new cranes are already at work participating in the construction of large-scale development in Dongtan, a newly-built city in the metropolitan area near Seoul. Upon completion, Dongtan New Town Xi Apartment Complex will consist of 12 buildings made of 29 stories tall. With a total of 1,297 homes, it will be one of the largest residential complexes of the new city.

Raimondi LR273, a weight-optimized luffer, is easy to install and boasts excellent load curve and big drum capacity. With an 18t maximum capacity and a jib length clocking in at 60m, this luffer offers a high tip load. Additionally, its parking radius, designed on customers’ needs, represents an asset to clients working in congested and highly built-up areas.

The three remaining LR273s are expected to arrive in Korea by quarter one of 2021, while an additional five cranes will be delivered in the upcoming months as part of the first main batch of 10.
