New heavy-duty jib put to the test

Heavy lifting solutions provider Ale has used its heavy duty jib with the the AL.SK350 crane while performing its inaugural lift, weighing 1 276 t, of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) module integration project in Nigeria. The world’s largest capacity land based crane, the AL.SK350, has been rigged in its current biggest configuration with a 124 m a-frame main boom, 49 m ballast radius and the 38 m jib for additional outreach, along with a heavy winch system and 4 000 t ballast for the project in Lagos.
