What Is So Special About Liebherr Cranes


Liebherr is a German company, founded in 1949. This is one of the world's largest makers of heavy machinery. Liebherr frequently produces several models of cranes as per the requirements of builders, and every model more advance than the earlier. Some of their creations include Crawler, All Terrain and Tower Cranes. They are not only powerful and compact, but also exceptionally maneuverable. They have been built using unique ultra-modern mobile crane technology. This technology enables Liebherr cranes work in tough areas. So no matter, where you are deploying them, you can use them irrespective of the type of terrain or site of construction. 

Liebherr incorporates the Litronic Control System and multi-function LCD display that makes Liebherr products like crawler, tower and all terrain cranes the most state-of-the-art in the world. Of course, it has workers who make cranes more and more advance using high technology. Any crane manufacturer can hardly match the features and abilities of Liebherr cranes. This is the reason why it is among the very rare companies that supplies its products to maximum corners of the world.

Liebherr cranes are not only bought but are also hired by the builders. In India, cranes are mostly hired as the number of small scale builders is too high and they cannot afford to buy them. Hence, hiring them it the most feasible and popular in India where development is in its peak. Liebherr’s cranes are widely preferred and used by the builders owing to its endless abilities, which has led many builders create their master pieces.

Role Of ODC Transportation In Indian Army


The development of Indian army is not hidden to any country. With every successful missile test India is getting powerful day by day. We see people of army working hard to have large and heavy missiles and many other weapons in their campus. What makes them capable to move such large and excessive heavy weapons from one place to another? It is the power of ODC (Over Dimensional Consignment) transportation services that enables army people to move heavy and over sized consignments to the long distances. This service is basically used for the transportation of consignments that are larger than the standard containers used for transportation. 

Army camps are distributed all over the India and to the several remote locations. They need to move or transport some heavy equipment from one to place to another time to time. Such consignments may include missiles, petrol, jet planes, plane parts, etc. It is almost impossible to reach such places with such gods without ODC transportation services. These services especially meant for over sized consignment that are delicate or non-delicates. All types of goods can be moved to any corner of the country. In fact, many service providers provide the facility of transporting goods to locations like eastern India where it is really tough to reach.

Thanks to the service providers of ODC transportations that have made it possible to ship such consignments to remote locations with safety and guarantee. It is their ability and advancements that make India Army rely on this service. Without ODC transportation it would never had possible for Army to distribute heavy goods to locations like eastern India.

Why Hiring Cranes Is Beneficial Over Buying

If you are a building contractor then you must be aware of the importance of cranes. Of course, cranes are integral part of any construction and it is impossible to imagine construction of any structure without cranes. Then why it is that cranes are being hired and not purchased as permanent asset? A number of companies are there which offer cranes for hire. Probably, because hiring crane is beneficial over purchasing. In many circumstances, hiring cranes proves to be very beneficial.

Firstly, cranes are very expensive and if bought, it will be an investment. Hence, not all construction companies or contractors can buy them. Since, it is an investment, it has to be long term beneficial, but the fact is that technology gets updated every now and then. This is the second cause of the popularity of cranes for hire. Regular and frequent modifications are done in the features of cranes. In this condition even if you buy your own crane, you will find your crane older and outdated just within years of use.

Third reason is the high maintenance cost. Buying crane is not enough, it needs regular maintenance a good sum of money. It is not necessary that they will be used throughout the year in this period the machines must function well and remain fit to use time when needed. For this you need to have a technician. Apart from that, to drive and operate this heavy machine a professional driver is required who will charge a pretty good amount of money. Buying crane will be a loss if you are not rich enough to bear the loss of cranes. For all this reason, hiring cranes is beneficial over buying.

Increasing demand of crane in Meghalaya


Meghalaya is located in the eastern part of India and is considered one of the most remote areas of the country. With minimal road connectivity, this place is not as advanced as the rest of the country. Lack of road network is due to the presence of several mountains and uneven land surface covered with dense forest. But now, government of India is focusing to develop this area in terms of road connectivity and population. 

For this, several buildings and other structures are being constructed in different locations. In all these activities the importance of cranes cannot be ignored. Owing to its major involvement in construction, cranes in Meghalaya are high in demand. Different cranes are being hired for this location for different purposes. Local residencies are also showing positive attitude towards the development and buying properties to populate this area. 

As a result, different types of cranes are being supplied to this place according to the demand. However, construction is not the only area where cranes are required but factories or manufacturing areas too need cranes to load and unload goods from the truck. Similarly, there are many other uses cranes.

Meghalayan areas have the biggest challenge of commutation owing to its difficult route. But for cranes, this is no difficult place to reach as they are designed to travel in any location, be it rocky or plane. Metallic hands of this machines have been modified to perform better and multiple job. This is also why they are in high demand in Meghalaya.

Cranes Playing Major Role In Development Of Assam


Eastern India is hilly and is difficult to reach. Rich in natural beauty and animals, but people find this place difficult to access and hence there is very less commutation of tourists. Probably this is the reason that this part is lagging behind in industrial development. Assam is one of the states of eastern India which falls under remote area. This is the largest state in east with lots of terrain areas, hills, lakes and rivers, which makes the place unreachable, but not anymore. A wave of development can be sensed in Assam with the increasing number of dams, train routes, multi-buildings and other large structures. This has been all possible because of the involvement of cranes in Assam. 

Cranes in recent years has gone through many development phases, leading to the creation of powerful and more functional machines. These machines have emerged as an easy and instant solution for the construction of large structures in Assam. Cranes have been equipped with several different functionalities to make them more powerful and versatile in terms of their ability, so as to make them work in hilly area with ease. Various types of cranes have been developed to suite the work environment of the hilly region which can be chosen as per the requirements. 

Today, we can see several architectural structures standing straight in the land of Assam and this has been possible because of the increased uses of cranes in Assam, which has led the development of Assam run hand in hand with the other parts of India.
