14 JLG for Siberia

Russian oil and gas facilities contractor Velesstroy has taken delivery of 14 new JLG booms for the new Yamal Liquified Natural Gas plant in Western Siberia.

The order, placed through local sales and leasing company Vertex, includes 11 units of the 60ft 600AJ articulated boom lift and three 125ft 1250AJP articulated booms. This latest order follows the delivery of two 135ft articulated booms to the cmopany last year.

Vertex chief executive Dmitry Pankin said: “These machines are destined for the northeast of the Yamal Peninsula, which is notorious for frequent changes in temperature from plus 30 to minus 40 degrees Celsius. We have therefore adapted the new machines for operation in Arctic climatic conditions with a special ‘winter package’, which includes an engine heater, battery heater with subsequent charging, the upper control panel and LCD display on the bottom control panel”.
