Birmingham Crane Hire’s sales director Mark Weatherson said: “We believe the LTM 1060 to be the best 60 tonne capacity three axle machine on the market. We are impressed with the build quality and attention to detail and also the service received from the Liebherr sales team. This may be our first Liebherr but it will not be our last.”
