Two 200t plus capacity cranes have been used to load a Russian heavy 

transport aircraft bound for China.    

UK crane hire specialist Winterlift Ltd supplied a 220t all terrain Grove GMK 

5220  and a 250t Liebherr LTM 1250 mobile for the lift, which required a 94t 

turbine to be positioned for loading on to the AN 124- 100. This was lifted 

onto a specially constructed ramp that allowed the heavy load to be skated 

into the cargo hold.   

The Grove operated with a 27m boom length and 80t hook block, while the 

LTM 1250 had a 25.9m main boom and 70t hook block.   


Anthony Shufflebotham, Winterlift’s appointed person for the job, said two 

cranes were used for the lift as they offered a more cost-efficient solution 

than a single 400t Liebherr, which had originally been talked about for the work.
