Six Raimondi Flat-Tops Cranes Deployed for Dublin Landmark Project

Walls Construction, one of Ireland’s leading construction companies, has deployed six Raimondi MRT573 flat-top tower cranes for the development of a landmark mixed-use project in Rathborne, Dublin. 

Supplied by Irish Cranes & Lifting, the official Raimondi agent in Ireland, these cranes represent the heaviest lifting capacities in the company’s fleet and will remain onsite for approximately 24 months until project completion.

Robert Coffey, Director General of Irish Cranes, highlighted the longstanding collaboration between Irish Cranes and Walls Construction. “We are proud to continue playing a pivotal role in Ireland’s large-scale developments and to support one of the country’s most prominent construction firms. For this jobsite, Walls Construction selected six of the most powerful cranes in our fleet, ensuring efficiency and precision in lifting operations.”

The six MRT573-24t cranes were chosen for their outstanding tip loads and overall performance, particularly suited for precast construction projects that demand high-capacity lifting capabilities. The MRT573, first introduced at Bauma in 2019, has been widely recognised for its exceptional versatility and reliability, setting the foundation for the newly introduced Raimondi T577, unveiled in Saudi Arabia in February 2025 at The Big5 Construct.

“Building on the success of the MRT573, the new T577 further enhances load handling, adaptability, and ease of installation,” said Mauro Masetti, Director-Sales, Raimondi Cranes. “With technological advancements improving jobsite safety, remote assistance, and lifting precision, these cranes are designed to minimise downtime and optimise efficiency.”

Installed over a six-month period by the Irish Cranes operations team, the MRT573-24t are working onsite with jib lengths ranging between 40m to 50m, tip loads spanning between 16,5t and 12,4t at maximum freestanding height of 72m. All cranes, erected at final configurations, are equipped with a hoist gear of 110kW and are able to lift at a maximum speed of 109m/min having a drum capacity of 1000m.

Given the site’s nature and location, with its proximity to residential areas and a train railway station, stringent safety measures were implemented to ensure compliance with regional regulations and seamless operations. “To enhance jobsite safety and efficiency, all six cranes have been integrated with advanced zoning and anti-collision systems, preventing potential interference between machines and nearby structures,” added Coffey. 

“Some of the cranes have been de-rated to 75% of the model’s maximum lifting capacity, aligning with existing safety regulations while maintaining optimal performance for the project’s lifting requirements,” he continued.  

The Rathborne mixed-use development will feature six buildings with heights of up to 14 floors, comprising approximately 700 residential units and commercial spaces. The deployment of these flat-tops underscores the increasing industry demand for high-capacity lifting solutions, particularly in large-scale residential and commercial developments.
