To lift an 884-tonne, 162-meter-long connecting bridge between two buildings in Switzerland, crane service provider Toggenburger used the two largest cranes available in the country: the Terex CC 2400-1 and CC 2500-1 lattice-boom crawlers.

"The individual bridge components had enormous gross weights of up to 275 tonnes and required us to use working radii of up to 29 meters, which made it absolutely necessary to use the largest crawler cranes available," said Andre Huber, Toggenburger + Co AG project manager.

The Leadership in Lifting Equipment & Access Platform Awards recognize innovative equipment, support products, and services introduced in the previous 12 months. This year, products introduced between June 1, 2014, and May 31, 2015, can be entered. 

Eligible aerial lifts, cranes, material handlers, OEM-developed features/essential components for OEMs, and aftermarket support products and services must be available for purchase in North America. Products with major modifications or redesigns can be entered if they represent significant enhancements and offer new capabilities. 

Entries are judged on the following criteria:  

• Innovation
• Economic value or cost savings to the owner or user
• Improved ease of operation, efficiency, or productivity for the owner or user
• Improved safety for the owner, user, or site personnel

Winners of the LLEAP Awards will be recognized in the November-December 2015 issue of Lift and Access and will receive a glass trophy.
