Raimondi Middle East has installed six flat-top tower cranes for a new construction phase of Aljada, Arada’s master-planned community in Sharjah, marking the first deployment of Raimondi T Series cranes at a GCC jobsite. The installation includes four MRT159 cranes and two T187 flat-tops at the Central Business District project, reinforcing Raimondi’s growing footprint across the development.

The delivery forms part of Raimondi Middle East’s ongoing fleet expansion, which now exceeds 200 cranes. The MRT159 units, supplied with pre-assembled components, offer a maximum lifting capacity of eight tonnes, jib lengths between 50 m and 65 m, and freestanding heights of up to 51 m. The newly introduced T187 cranes feature jib lengths of 60 m and 65 m, tower heights up to 63 m, and tip loads of up to 2.59 tonnes.

Five of the six cranes will be progressively climbed as construction advances, reaching final heights of up to 85 m. The T187 has received positive regional feedback for its swift installation, precise calibration and integrated ConCore system, which enables real-time monitoring and troubleshooting. Installed in Q4 2025, the cranes are expected to remain onsite for up to 18 months, supporting the delivery of premium offices and mixed-use commercial facilities within Sharjah’s newest business district.
