ADW said that following strong demand for the original LTC 1045-3.1 ADW it decided to invest in a second. The owners of ADW, Manfred and Ralf Ganske added: “About 70 percent of the jobs are standard lifts and as it is a universal application crane is able to deal with them, no problem at all. When it comes to special applications in halls and on construction sites with restricted room of space to manoeuvre there can be no better solution - it was made for the task.”

Based in Frankfurt am Main the third generation crane company was established in 1947 and now has an all Liebherr crane fleet consisting of around 20 mobile cranes, topped by a 500 tonner.
