Liehberr LG1550 at work in Taranaki.

Precision work at Methanex NZ

Smith Crane Hire's Liehberr LG1550 successfully replaced two pre-heater units at the Methanex NZ Motonui Methanol plant near Taranaki.

These large units weighing up to 140-tonne were replaced using all of the crane's available capacity with only millimetres to spare for clearance.

A combination of good planning, good communication and an experienced site team contributed to the 100% success with five setups and five major lifts all undertaken within the timeframe allocated, and during unfavourable weather conditions.
