500 tonne Liebherr for Rostocker

German based corrosion protection company Rostocker Korrosionsschutz has taken delivery of a 500 tonne Liebherr LTM1500-8.1 All Terrain crane.

This is the fourth Liebherr mobile crane that the Rostock based company has purchased in the last two years. Its first was a 200 tonne LTM 1220-5.1, followed by a 350 tonne LTM 1350-6.1 and finally one of the new compact LTC 1045-3.1 city type cranes.

The LTM 1500 will be based at Bremerhaven, northern Germany, working with the offshore wind turbine industry, which the company said is a very important and rapidly growing market in the region.
