Director Kestutis Slavinskas said: “We want to expand our heavy load crane activities in Latvia and Estonia, which is why we decided to buy the 450 tonne model. The 85 metre telescopic boom and outstanding load charts makes it a perfect match to our LTM 1500-8.1, which has been a successful member of our fleet for several years. We also decided to buy a Liebherr crane as a result of the quality of the machines, the excellent service and the fact that they retain their value.”

“We are very flexible in being able to get the crane to any site. The main area of use for the crane in the future will be industry and the erection and dismantling of wind turbines, which may require different axle loads.”
