LTM 1220 for Pengel

German crane rental and steel construction company Autokranverleih Pengel has taken delivery of a 220 tonne Liebherr LTM 1220-5.2 All Terrain crane to replace an older 160 tonne LTM 1160/2.

The LTM 1220-5.2 is equipped with a 60 metres main boom plus a 12.20 to 22 metre swing-away extension with 0, 22.5 and 45 degree off-sets. Its first job was handling loads at a construction site on the A14 Autobahn.

Company owner Silvia Pengel, said: “When we order a spare part at three in the afternoon from Liebherr in Ehingen, it'll be at our door by 10 the next morning. We've relied on Liebherr cranes for many years. The good service and reliability of Liebherr cranes are the reason."
