Terex CTT 181-8 and CTT 231-10 tower cranes are being used by Larsen & Toubro (L&T) in the construction of a new multi-story parking structure and an air traffic control tower at the Mumbai international airport.
Udit Narayan Singh, the ECC project manager responsible for the project, said that to build the new parking structure and the tower, they had to set up the cranes directly within the airport’s busy area.
This meant that the company would only be able to use flat top cranes, due to their lower absolute overall height. L&T has over 34 Terex tower cranes in its fleet.
The Terex CTT 181 (with a configuration in which the crane would be tied to the ground) was chosen to build the new control tower, while the Terex CTT 231-10 (with a configuration featuring rails) is being used for the parking structure.
