Import transported additional 800-ton Liebherr

In a significant development, Franz Bracht Crane Rental, a renowned company with roots tracing back to 1964 and currently employing around 800 people, has added a new addition to its fleet - the LTM 1750-9.1 crane. This versatile machine, manufactured by Liebherr, has been in use within the corporate group for a decade.

The LTM 1750-9.1 crane made its debut in the real world at a wind turbine repair site in Lünen. The task at hand was no small feat, requiring the replacement of the main shaft at a hub height of 100 meters. The crane, equipped with a 49.1-meter telescopic boom, 20 meters of lattice extensions, a 42-meter jib tip, and 204 tons of ballast, managed to achieve a hook height of 110 meters, demonstrating its impressive capabilities.

This new crane is set to take on various tasks such as bridge assembly, concrete support, industrial applications, heavy-duty lifting, and wind turbine service work. Notably, it has replaced an AC 700 in the fleet. One of its unique features is its ability to transport its entire telescopic boom on public roads.

The LTM 1750-9.1 crane is fully booked in the wind sector until the end of 2026, reflecting its high demand in the industry.

Meanwhile, job seekers in various sectors such as Cranes and Hoisting Machines, Wind Energy, Heavy Haulage, Mobile Cranes, and Liebherr, can explore opportunities with ABZ Job Market. The platform currently has job offers, including a part-time position for a tank truck driver (m/f/d).
