STREAMLINING URBAN CONSTRUCTION
To meet the demands of affordable housing construction, MRA Equipment Rental LLC is leveraging Liebherr’ s self-erecting tower cranes to streamline modular construction sites throughout the Miami, Florida area. On the jobsites, Liebherr 125 K and 81 K. 1 self-erecting cranes are being utilized to lift pre-assembled formwork, rebar and concrete. The cranes were designed to operate simultaneously as part of a carefully planned daily cycle, allowing the construction of two apartments per day. As the heart of the jobsites moving all materials required, the selferecting cranes can also be taken down in half a day and repositioned the same day somewhere else on location. In addition to offering exceptional flexibility for MRA Equipment to adapt to different construction site requirements, variable hook heights and precise jib positioning capabilities on the Liebherr self-erecting cranes
are enabling optimal placement in tight spaces as the modular construction projects continue.
