In this article we present the design and assembly of an industrial overhead travelling crane on the Maragall metro line L9 in Barcelona; this installation reaffirms the ability of LBcranes, experts in lifting systems, to face the most complex challenges in the sector.
This project stands out not only for its large dimensions, but also for the technical level required for its execution. Below, we tell you all the details of this impressive assembly.
A challenge at a depth of 60 metres
The installation of this 5TN 360° monorail slewing bridge crane was carried out in a pit with a depth of 60 metres. This extremely limited and technical working environment posed a major challenge in terms of lifting and assembly logistics. However, thanks to our experience and a highly skilled team, we were able to complete the project successfully and on schedule.
Features of the slewing monorail overhead travelling crane and its installation
- Capacity: Tons adapted to the specific environment and requirements of the Metro. Lifting capacity of 5Tn.
- Rotation : Full 360 degrees, allowing maximum operational flexibility.
- Location: Strategic installation inside the pit, optimising the available space.

This image shows the complexity of the assembly and the precision required to execute each step. From the arrival of the components to the final installation, every detail has been meticulously supervised to ensure a flawless result.
