A revolutionary craneage solution for a ground-breaking sustainable agricultural project

Like Marr, Sundrop Farms are passionate about solving problems. When John Holland was contracted as the construction partner for their first commercial greenhouse facility in South Australia, they turned to Marr to do the heavy lifting on this revolutionary sustainable agriculture project.
We work with our clients to find a craneage solution that works – no matter how big or complex the job is.
At the time John Holland contacted us they were considering using a CC6800 crawler crane, but as a big machine it left no room on the ground for it to be assembled and do the work concurrently, required extensive ground preparation and relied on favourable wind conditions.
Using a M2480D and M1280D we developed a series of critical lift plans that included installing the 100t steam drum on top of the 116-metre solar tower using a tag line system developed by our onsite rigging team.
Our solution required a smaller area to set up the tower crane without the need for extensive groundworks in comparison to alternative crane options, resulting in a shorter set-up time and lower costs.
