Based in Wisconsin, Ideal has supplied machines for rental and purchase since 1973. Its fleet consists of cranes, self-propelled aerial work platforms, and telehandlers.

Bob Kalhagen, owner of Ideal Crane Rental said: “We were impressed with what Liebherr had to offer in each of the crane types that we looked at. Our experience with Liebherr cranes we currently own has been excellent and we decided that the reputation and value provided by their crawler and tower cranes were a good investment. Additionally, Liebherr’s stability, growth and investment influenced us. Their ability to build such a tremendous company as a family owned business resonated with the vision and culture of Ideal Crane Rental.”

Gernot Schranz, president of Liebherr Nenzing added: “Being able to do business with Ideal Crane Rental by providing market leading cranes from each of our crane producing companies is very rewarding. We are pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of Ideal Crane’s future growth and success.”
