200t Liebherr for Rech

German crane rental company Rech Kranservice has taken delivery of a new 200 tonne ‘flagship’ Liebherr LTM 1200-5.1 All Terrain crane.

Stationed at the company's new depot in Kaiserslautern, the LTM 1200-5.1 features a 72 metre main boom and offers a maximum height under hook of 98 metres with its bi-fold swingaway extension. Hoping to attract new industrial and assembly customers, the crane will primarily be used for handling prefabricated concrete components and erecting tower cranes.

Rech managing director Astrid Hietzker, said: “We decided on the LTM 1200-5.1 because its variable supporting base VarioBase enables it to achieve outstanding load capacity values at optimum boom length. Liebherr's high quality, reliable after-sales service and excellent service performance are also very important to us."
