Zitat: | Vorech postete Coles LH 1000 from former Czechoslovakia. Year cca 1978. JV
|
For a short period in 1994 I worked for the danish company E. Søndergaard, who owned a LH1000 Mark III. Once I was rigger on the crane, and we should erect a chimney in Hvide Sande. We left the dolly on a nearby road, and travelled the last few hundred meters or so as a 5-axle crane with - if I remember correctly - around 85 ton of total weight. Extra counterweight for the crane was nearly never used, since it was very complicated to attach - first place it on the carrier, then attach some wires to the raised boom, and upon lowering the boom, the ballast was lifted and connected to the superstructure.
Sadly I do not have any pictures of the crane. It was replaced around 1997 when E. Søndergaard replaced all cranes with new ones from Grove. A few years ago E. Søndergaard was bought by Krangaarden. -- Grüße / Greetings
