A 600 tonne – or larger – lattice crawler crane overturned on Sunday night at a wind farm in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, near Worms in central Germany.
The crane a large Terex – possibly a 600 tonne CC2800 or 1,200 tonne CC6800??- owned by Sarens, was set up at the site, complete with Superlift attachment and jib, to carry out maintenance work on the turbines, and possibly install a tower crane.
Strong winds on Sunday night, including a tornado in some parts of the country, possibly exasperated by soft ground, brought the crane down, as it went over it caught the extended boom of a telescopic assist crane also from the Sarens fleet. The lattice boom landed on a container and what looks like a tower crane jib set up on trestles.
A telescopic assist crane was pulled over by the crawler
There was no one on site at the time and overturn was reported to police by walkers. It looks as thought the crawler was left parked on the edge of its mats which might not have helped the situation. It is also hard to understand why the telescopic was left with its boom extended.
We are making further enquiries and will update this – if and when we learn more.
