Raimondi Cranes has launched the T87 flat-top tower crane, the latest model in the T Series range, and the successor of the long-serving MRT84.
Raimondi says the new model brings enhanced performance, smarter technology, and exceptional versatility to today’s construction landscape.
The new model is aimed at small to medium-sized jobsites where space constraints are a key challenge. Because of this it has a designed the crane to be lightweight but with high performance metrics.
Its heaviest single component weighs less than three tonnes and the counterjib is just eight metres long. This allows the full 51m jib, including all counterweights, to be transported using only two articulated trucks. This helps simplify logistics, allowing for smooth erection procedures, even in densely built or hard-to-access urban areas, says Raimondi.
As the latest crane in the T Series lineup, the T87 shares the range’s modularity of mechanical and carpentry parts. The flexibility of choices, 5t with II/IV falls or 3t with permanent II falls, allows for fleet rental companies to address different project needs.
The Raimondi T87-5t has a tip load of 1.38 t in UltraLift at 51m jib, and can lift at a maximum speed of 78,70m/min with a hoist of 22kW.
“The first units of the T87 have already been delivered to several key accounts across France and Italy, with installations now active in regions like Lombardia, Marche, and Campania. Early feedback confirms the crane’s agility and adaptability across diverse site conditions,” comments Mauro Masetti, sales director, Raimondi Cranes.
One of the most significant installations, completed by Tecnoedicasa, showcases the T87’s capabilities in a highly restrictive environment. Configured with a 51 metre jib and installed at 45 metres under hook, the crane was erected in a historic neighbourhood of Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
With the site presenting significant constraints and no access for articulated trucks, the T87’s lightweight key components, jib sections limited to six metres, and modular design aim to ease installation and aid efficient operations.
The T87 is equipped with Raimondi ConCore, the company’s latest generation control system. ConCore enables swift calibration, simplified commissioning, and remote access for real-time monitoring and control, supporting enhanced safety, efficiency, and proactive maintenance across the crane’s lifecycle.
“With its engineering refinements and jobsite adaptability, the T87 is set to become the optimal choice for contractors seeking a high performing, easily managed flat-top tower crane,” concludes Masetti.
