With an impressive load capacity of 1600 tonnes, the Rubino is capable of lifting the equivalent of three Boeing 747 airplanes at a radius of 42 metres. With a total of 1,155 tonnes of counterweight, it can lift more than any other crane currently in Australia, making it a true powerhouse.  Despite its size, the crane maintains remarkable agility and ease of handling, thanks to Tadano's innovative engineering.    The new addition to the Heavy Lift fleet is a testament to Monadelphous’ commitment to innovation and excellence in the industry, enhancing our capability and efficiency of operations. Its purchase is part of our ongoing investment in the North-West region, where we have operated for more than 30 years.  The Rubino has been commissioned to work on the BHP Car Dumper 3 project in Port Hedland.   Check out some of the photos from the crane’s unveiling below.  ![The Fix May9](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May9.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May9.jpg) ![The Fix May10](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May10.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May10.jpg) ![The Fix May11](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May11.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May11.jpg) ![The Fix May12](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May12.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May12.jpg) ![The Fix May13](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May13.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May13.jpg) ![The Fix May14](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May14.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May14.jpg) ![The Fix May15](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May15.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May15.jpg) ![The Fix May16](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/The%20Fix%20May16.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=The%20Fix%20May16.jpg)   ## Leave a comment Previous Post Conquering the Kokoda Trail Next Post Congratulations to our April Northern Star Achievement Award winner ## Recommended For You [![](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hubfs/Engaging%20local%20suppliers%20in%20Port%20Hedland.png)](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/engaging-local-suppliers-in-port-hedland) [Sustainability](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/tag/sustainability) [WA](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/tag/wa) [Pilbara](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/tag/pilbara) 1 Min Read ### [Engaging local suppliers in Port Hedland](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/engaging-local-suppliers-in-port-hedland) At Monadelphous, we are committed to finding opportunities for engaging local suppliers and investing in the ...
