LTM1750 for Eisele

German rental company Eisele has taken delivery of a new 750 tonne Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 All Terrain crane.

Eisele which is based in Maintal near Frankfurt, has purchased the new crane for the erection of towers and maintenance work on existing wind turbines. Owner Claus Eisele, travelled to the Liebherr plant in Ehingen to personally take possession of the new machine – its new ‘flagship’.

"The LTM 1750-9.1 is a powerful, modern mobile crane which can be readied for use quickly when it reaches the site. Liebherr has developed solutions for the setup process which are also ideal for quick easy use on site," said Eisele. Our relationship with Liebherr goes back 25 years to 1988 when we bought a used Liebherr LT 1080 truck crane. At the time we ran a truck rescue service with the appropriate tow trucks. But then we needed to buy our own crane.”

“That same year we also bought a further four cranes turning our rescue service into a crane hire company which grew rapidly over the following years. Two years later we purchased an eight axle Liebherr LTM 1400, one of the largest telescopic cranes at the time. In 2000 we started investing in lattice boom crawler cranes.”

"Liebherr develops and manufactures the equipment - and it works. They do not cut corners. And if there is a problem, they are there to help straight away."

Vertikal Comment

Liebherr only began shipping the LTM1750 in February and they are coming off line now at a ‘speed of knots’. The way the company turns out so many cranes of this size at the speed it does is one of its amazing strengths.

Taking so many orders for such a machine so quickly is one thing – that requires a great deal of confidence and trust from customers, however building and shipping them at this speed is something else. One thing is for sure is that these deliveries will absorb some of the demand that Terex would have been looking to fill with its new AC1000.
