Tonhout Crane Hire's first new Liebherr crane

Company owners, Maurice Tierney and sons Mark and Brian said the decision to purchase a new Liebherr was based on experience with a used Liebherr LTM1055-3.1 that it added to the fleet several years ago.

They have also ordered a Liebherr 50 tonne LTC1050-3.1 city type All Terrain crane with unique single elevating cab, for delivery to M and M later this year.
