LTM 1750-9.1 for Gertzen

German crane rental and heavy haulage company Gertzen Krane & Transporte has taken delivery of a 750 tonne Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 All Terrain crane.

Purchased for work on wind power and industrial projects, the nine-axle crane is able to carry its 52 metre telescopic boom on public roads within 12 tonne axle weights.

Company owner Wolfgang Gertzen said: “For us the LTM 1750-9.1 is a sensible addition to our large cranes between the LTM 1500-8.1 and the LR 1600/2 crawler crane. We decided to buy the LTM 1750-9.1 to enable us to meet the increased requirements of our customers. This Liebherr crane is suitable for universal use."

"The crane is highly flexible and mobile,” he added. “Its variable axle loads are a real bonus. Being able to drive it at a gross weight of just 99 tonnes, the simple road licence is a massive benefit. In addition, like the LTM 1500-8.1 it does not need many transport units and the crane can be set up quickly."
