Two Liebherr luffers for MoMA Tower

The first of two Liebherr 710 HC-L 32/64 Litronic luffing tower cranes has been erected on the MoMA Tower jobsite in New York City, USA. A second will be delivered mid 2016 helping to build the 76 story building in Midtown Manhattan. The 710 HC-L is the largest luffing tower crane available from Liebherr. With a height of 320 metres the skyscraper will be one of the highest buildings in the city. Both cranes are leased from the North American Liebherr dealer Morrow to contractor Sorbara Construction. Morrow provides Sorbara with support, planning, crane erection assistance and field services.
