20th Liebherr for Astro

US rental company Astro Crane Service has added a new 70 tonne Liebherr LTM 1070-4.1 four axle All Terrain crane to its fleet, which now totals 25 cranes, of which 20 are Liebherr.

Astro’s co-owner Marty Wright collected the new crane in person from Liebherr’s facility in Newport News, Virginia. The crane was then driven back to the company’s base in Boxborough, Massachusetts, where it will work throughout New England.

Astro co-owner Rick Marshall said: “We like the roadability and compact size of the LTM 1070-4.2, with its 164ft/ 50 metre main boom, the crane is very versatile.”
Founded in 1980 with a single crane, the fleet now runs from an eight tonne carry deck model to a 500 tonne eight axle Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1.
