20 crane order for Wasel

German crane and heavy lifting contractor Wasel has ordered 20 Liebherr mobile cranes with capacities ranging from 40 to 750 tonnes.

The cranes are painted in Wasel’s new blue and white livery – the company is being renamed from Breuer&Wasel to Wasel - and will be delivered to the Bergheim-based company by the end of this month.

The largest crane included in the order is the 750 tonne LTM 1750-9.1 - the first to be delivered to a German customer - and is currently en route direct from the Liebherr plant in Ehingen to its first job assembling wind turbines.

Six of the new cranes at the hand over

Six of the cranes were ready on one day which coincided with a visit to the plant by the two managing directors Matthias and Thomas Wasel. "We know Liebherr cranes are very high quality and we can also rely on good, time-tested customer service,” said Matthias Wasel.

During the visit, the two managing directors also ordered a Liebherr LG 1750 lattice boom mobile crane. After its planned delivery in autumn this year the crane will be used for wind turbine installation as it can handle the large weights and tower heights.
