€100 million deal for Maxikraft

German crane rental company Maxikraft has ordered new cranes in a deal worth around €100 million including the new 750 tonne LR 1700-1.0 displayed at Bauma this week.

Owner Maik Kanitzky said: "We rely on a modern and economical crane fleet with innovative technology. That is why continuous new investments are very important for us. The new cranes will replace young used cranes of comparable size in our fleet. We have had a close partnership with Liebherr for 30 years. The total business this time adds up to around €100 million."
