A dozen Liebherrs for Ainscough

UK rental company Ainscough Crane Hire has ordered 12 new Liebherr All Terrain cranes, six 60 tonne three axle LTM 1060 3.1s and six 100 tonne five axle LTM 1100 5.2 cranes, with a combined value of over £6 million.

The LTM 1060S were selected as an upgrade for its 55 tonne LTM 1055s, while the new LTM 1100 5.2 are intended to enhance the company’s range of five axle cranes. Ainscough runs a fleet of 448 All Terrain cranes - according to last year’s Cranes & Access Top 30 UK crane rental companies - most of which are Liebherr.

Liebherr GB managing director Richard Everist said: “Orders such as this show the strength of the market for new cranes and how companies are prepared to invest in their future with confidence. Liebherr are at the forefront of this investment cycle, not only in the smaller categories but also in heavy lift cranes which still continues to be buoyant.”
