Donore Luffing Crane

John Paul Construction has made a notable operational enhancement at the Donore Project in Dublin, deploying Ireland's inaugural Liebherr 440 HC-L luffing jib crane. This strategic investment in advanced lifting technology underscores the increasing need for specialised equipment in high-density urban development. The Liebherr 440 HC-L is distinguished by its compact footprint, substantial 24-tonne lifting capacity, and integrated intelligent control systems, rendering it uniquely suited for the logistical challenges inherent in constrained city-centre construction sites. Its implementation signifies a calculated move to optimise on-site efficiency and project delivery timelines within a demanding regulatory and spatial environment. The Donore Project, a significant regeneration scheme situated on the former St. Teresa’s Gardens, is poised to deliver 542 new homes, encompassing both cost-rental and social housing, through a partnership with Land Development and Dublin City Council. This state-of-the-art luffing crane augments an existing fleet of five Liebherr tower cranes, exemplifying John Paul Construction’s deep-rooted, over five-decade-long strategic alliance with Liebherr. This enduring partnership highlights a consistent commitment to leveraging high-performance, reliable machinery to achieve ambitious public housing and urban renewal objectives, potentially setting a benchmark for efficiency in Ireland’s construction sector.
