UK based FJ Crane Hire has taken delivery of a 90 tonne Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2, its first new Liebherr.
The four axle LTM 1090-4.2 features a 60 metre main boom plus a 9.5 to 16 metre bi-fold swingaway extension with manual offset and a maximum tip height of just under 80 metres. Other features include VarioBase variable outrigger setup and remote control system, along with Ecodrive and Ecomode systems.
The new crane arrives FJ director Phil Framp said: "Buying our first brand new Liebherr crane is a really proud moment for us. It's a big step forward for the business and something we've worked hard towards. We would like to say a huge thank you to Liebherr GB for making the whole experience such a smooth and enjoyable one. This is a massive milestone for us here at FJ Crane Hire, and we genuinely couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved. Hopefully, this is just the first of many brand new Liebherr cranes."

Phil Framp started out as a steel erector before becoming a crane operator at Walker & Son Crane Hire, where he gained valuable hands-on experience carrying out lifts across a wide range of job sites. Then, in 2020, he and his wife Sammie decided to set up on their own with a single Grove crane, operating from Saxilby, near Lincoln. Since then, they have added a number of used All Terrains and truck cranes, and now the first new one, their new flagship.
