First photo of the new Liebherr MK88

We now have photos of Liebherr’s new four axle mobile self erecting tower crane, the MK88, which replaces the MK80. Although similar in size to the MK 80, the MK88’s superstructure features a completely new, two-section lattice telescopic tower design, while the modern four-axle chassis includes Liebherr’s variable-action steering concept, active rear-axle steering and air-operated disc brakes.
