Schelb said: “Safety, technical innovation, high lifting capacities, and Liebherr’s commitment to customer service were some of the key factors in the decision to add the new crane to the fleet. This machine is really in a class of its own. With the Y-Guy option, variable radius counterweight, and wide supporting base, you have a crane providing exceptional strength that does not even require all the counterweight like others do to make the same lifts, saving our customers money”.
