German rental company Richard Kölch & Sohn GmbH has taken delivery of a 60 tonne Liebherr LTM 1060-3.1 All Terrain crane, replacing a non-Liebherr 55 tonne model.

The three axle LTM 1060-3.1 is equipped with a six section 48 metre main boom, which can be topped with a 9.5 to 16 metre bi-fold swingaway extension, which takes the maximum tip height to more than 67 metres, while also offering up to 40 degrees of offset. The new crane will be used primarily in precast construction, industrial projects and machine assembly in production halls.

< b> Managing director Alexander Kölch said: “In our view, a crane in the 60 tonne lifting capacity class is now indispensable. The new crane fits perfectly into our range of services and enables us to carry out jobs even more efficiently and flexibly.”
Based in Fürth, northeast of Nuremberg, the family owned and run company was established in 1977 and is run by the second generation of the Kölch family. The company’s fleet includes more than 40 cranes, including All Terrains, crawler, spider and loader cranes and also provides industrial removal services and heavy transport services throughout Germany.
