First LTM 1090-4.2 to BMS

Danish rental company BMS has taken delivery of the very first 90 tonne Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 All Terrain crane in Europe.

The new four axle crane features a 60 metre main boom plus a 16 metre swingaway extension. It has been delivered to the company's site in Aarhus, east Denmark, where it replaces a 70 tonne Liebherr LTM 1070-4.1.

Managing director Per Thorsen Christiansen said: "When the concept and the technical highlights of the LTM 1090-4.2 were explained to me a few months ago, I decided I had to have the first one of this new model. I'm delighted that that decision has come to fruition today. The new 90 tonne crane impressed me immediately because it has a very long telescopic boom, is just 2.55 metres wide and can carry a great deal of ballast with an axle load of 12 tonnes. Furthermore, Liebherr has also integrated its VarioBallast and VarioBase innovations on this model."

"Two and three axle mobile cranes are not popular in our region. That is why our range starts with four axle models. We use our cranes 90 percent of the time for construction projects, for example for steel fabrication, the assembly of prefabricated concrete components or for installing reinforcement steel for concrete foundations. We have very little industry in Aarhus."
