As already happened in recent ConExpo, the 2014 edition of Moscow’s CTT tradeshow has been quite similar to those experienced before the global economic crisis. Martín Echevarría, Sales Director at Linden Comansa, and Greg Teyf, Sales Manager for Russia, both agree that the 2014 edition has been one of the best for Linden Comansa, and without a doubt, the best CTT since the beginning of the crisis. According to Sergey Ryaboy, Managing Partner at Bashkransnab, dealer of Linden Comansa in Russia, "we had more visitors and more meetings than in recent editions, despite the almost extreme heat that we experienced. We have seen much interest in Linden Comansa cranes, and especially in the crane we exhibited".
The 21LC550 flat-top crane, with maximum load capacity of 24 tons, was the largest tower crane exposed at the International Exhibition Center Crocus Expo of the Russian capital, despite the fact that this year there were more cranes than in previous editions. "We wanted the Russian market and its influence to know better Linden Comansa’s LC2100 series. In these markets there is much construction with prefabricated structures and Linden Comansa has a range that is perfect for this way of building", said Alexandr Trubizin, Managing Partner at Bashkransnab.
"The LC2100 series, to which the 21LC550 crane belongs, is made up of five different models with maximum loads ranging from 18 to 48 tons, making them ideal for public works and infrastructure projects", says Martín Echevarría.
Rather than assembled at the jib, the hook and trolley set of the 21LC550 was exposed at the ground level in its transport and installation basket, so visitors could learn more about its design and Linden Comansa’s automatic reeving change system. Other technical features of the 21LC550 24t also include its high speed hoist mechanism (up to 180 meters per second with the standard engine), frequency control on the slewing, hoist and trolley movements, and the PowerLift system, which improves around 10% the load diagram with reduced speeds.
For Bashkransnab and Linden Comansa, the CTT show ended with the signing of some crane orders and purchasing commitments from some of Russia’s major rental companies for the upcoming months.
