operated by Allegiance Crane proved to be a good choice,<br />

as Michael Stark, owner of Stark Ingenieure and Günter<br />

Czasny deputy CEO, reports:<br />

“Adam Cote, the Manager of Engineering at<br />

Allegiance Crane,<br />

and his team were extremely professional on the<br />

site. We worked extremely well and closely with<br />

each other. And the crane produced an absolutely<br />

amazing performance. It has a compact design and<br />

has excellent setup processes coupled<br />

with enormous load capacities which<br />

meant we didn’t even have to move it<br />

between the various hoists. This saved<br />

us around half the time which was very<br />

important to us.”<br />

The LTM 1400-7.1 was equipped with<br />

Y-guying and full ballast for this job. The<br />

crane set-up was completed entirely by<br />

self-assembly. The left wing of the Pegasus<br />

was the heaviest single component, weighing<br />

in at a massive 58 tonnes. The Liebherr<br />

crane had to move this component to a radius<br />

of 22.3 metres.<br />

3D-puzzle with 1,250<br />

bronze pieces<br />

The oversized sculpture is an impressive<br />

33 m high and – Pegasus together with the<br />

dragon – over 60 m long. In order to realize<br />

such magnitude in connection with<br />

the organic shape in bronze, seemed an<br />

unbelievable, virtually impossible challenge<br />

at the beginning for all members of<br />

the project management team.<br />

Located in the southwest of Germany,<br />

A Liebherr LTM 1400-7.1 was<br />

equipped with Y-guying and full<br />

ballast for this job was pushed<br />

to its limits in lifting the massive<br />

loads which had to be positioned<br />

very preciesly.<br />
