Liebherr for Meister

German crane rental company Meister has taken delivery of a 60 tonne Liebherr LTM 1060-3.1 All Terran crane.

The three axle crane features a five section 48 metre main boom and a 16 metre bi-fold swingaway extension, providing a maximum tip height of 67 metres and a maximum radius of 48 metres. It was also ordered with Liebherr’s VarioBase outrigger set-up system, and replaces a 40 tonne crane in the company's fleet.

Managing director Claudia Meister said: "The LTM 1060-3.1 is a compact, manoeuvrable crane. That is very important for urban use. That is why the family committee decided on a Liebherr crane."

"We started with Liebherr cranes and now we are continuing with Liebherr cranes. The new LTM 1060-3.1 is the first crane whose purchase I have organised as managing director. We want to have more than one string to our bow."

Technical and organisation manager Jens Ochmann added: "We have very little space. We are not allowed to close roads. We generally have to operate with a reduced support base. Last summer I came to Liebherr to test the LTM 1060-3.1 with VarioBase. It is perfect for the work we carry out and for our company structure. The fact that it has the latest engine and drive technology was another major reason behind our decision."
