Roll Group has put its RMG Modular Gantry Crane system through its paces at a Petrochemical facility in Cilegon, Indonesia. The company completed two lifts each exceeding 1,000 tonnes. Roll Group said it was hired for a combined scope, utilising its fleet of SPMTs, cranes, and the newly developed Heavy Gantry Crane system. 

The implementation of Roll Group’s Heavy Gantry Crane system represents a leap forward in the company’s ability to install very heavy loads, weighing up to 3,000 tonnes, and towering heights exceeding 120 metres. What sets this system apart is its ability to operate without the need for guy wires, minimising disruptions to surrounding areas while maximising efficiency, the company claims.

In the context of the Cilegon project, Roll Group is responsible for more than just the gantry lifts. Their tasks include unloading incoming vessels, transporting all cargo within the facility, and positioning the cargo using a total transport solution. This involves engineering, project management, and the use of SPMTs and five crawler cranes.

The execution of the first two lifts in Indonesia as well as two more lifts completed in the Middle East where the gantry crane will be deployed over the next two years, has set up the company on a trajectory of steady growth.

The trajectory is reflected in Roll Group’s decision to fabricate the second gantry system. The new unit will be ready for deployment at the end of 2024. The company made the step in order to keep up with the rising demand for gantry projects and to continue its strategy of growing its asset base.

This new system will feature enhanced capacity and capabilities, allowing the company to tackle additional projects.
