Tandem Lift<br />
Hotel Babylon in The Hague is<br />
being extensively refurbished and<br />
extended with a steel structure.<br />
<strong>Mammoet</strong> used their mobile cranes<br />
to assemble the steel structure on<br />
site. As the site was in the city<br />
centre the logistics were quite a<br />
challenge but the cooperation with<br />
<strong>Mammoet</strong> Road Cargo ensured that<br />
everything went smoothly.<br />
<strong>Mammoet</strong> then installed the 36 by<br />
27 meter steel structure, weighing<br />
500 tons onto the existing building<br />
with their new LR 1600 (the first one<br />
fitted with superlift) and a CC 2800.<br />
The load was initially lifted up one<br />
meter and balanced, and then lifted<br />
up to 36 meters, which only took<br />
about an hour. Both cranes had to<br />
crawl and the CC 2800 had to<br />
slew to position the structure over<br />
the building. Immediately after<br />
finishing the lift <strong>Mammoet</strong> started<br />
demobilizing the cranes as the road<br />
had to be cleared for a public holiday.<br />
