300 tonner for Spallek

German crane and access rental company Autokrane Werner Spallek has purchased a 300 tonne LTM 1300-6.2 mobile crane, the biggest in its fleet.
Company owner Werner Spallek visited the Liebherr plant in Ehingen at the start of June with his son Philipp to take delivery of the new 300 tonne machine. The company was struggling on certain contracts with its 200 tonne Liebherr and needed a larger capacity crane. The LTM 1300-6.2 - unveiled at Bauma 2013 - was Liebherr’s first crane to feature the single engine concept and uses a 78 metre telescopic boom.

Philipp Spallek said: "The crane is really powerful. We compared its load capacities with our 200 tonne machine in some cases it can handle up to 78 percent higher loads".

Spallek is based in Ibbenbüren, in North Rhine-Westphalia with a 20 strong workforce and has been operating for 25 years.
