Al Faris Equipment Rental keeps Dubai Metro on-track at Jumeriah Lake Towers Station with a Liebherr 250 t mobile crane in a twin lift on the 140 t pedestrian footbridge gantry. A newly delivered 250 t capacity Liebherr telescopic crane from Al Faris Equipment Rentals is being used by the J.T. Metro J.V on the Dubai Metro’s Jumeirah Lake Towers Station in a 140 t twin lift of the gantry footbridge. The LTM1250-6.1 joins the Al Faris Equipment Rentals fleet, one of the largest in the Middle East with more than 250 mobile cranes and including 130 Liebherr models; all fitted with Liccon software ensuring lifts are made safely and economically. Al Faris Equipment Rentals was formed in Dubai in 1992 to provide rental craneage and transportation for the oil and gas industry later extending into oil refineries, power plants and the construction sector. To date, Al Faris has taken delivery of 22 Liebherr mobile cranes this year and has a further 14 on order including its largest mobile crane, a Liebherr 1200 t capacity LTM11200-9.1. Illustrated, the LTM1250-6.1 performs a twin lift of the 32 m long x 10 m wide x 6 m high steel gantry which, once fitted out will become the pedestrian bridge spanning the four lanes of the Sheik Zayed Road at Jumeirah Lakes Station. Weighing 140 t, the gantry was lifted and positioned on ‘stools’ alongside the Sheik Zayed Road for fitting out. Once completed, the bridge will be finally positioned in a hydraulic lift. The six-axle mobile crane offers improved operating safety in the travel mode and has a top speed of 80 km.
