Standing: (L-R) Daniel Pitzer and John Bray of Liebherr, Scott Bragg and Ian Johnson of Bragg, Reinhold Breitenmoser of Liebherr and Kevin Reese of Bragg. Kneeling (L-R): Gregg Nichols, Bobby Weyers and Kelan Bragg all from Bragg.

The units have been supplied with ‘H boom kits’ for the LR 1600/2, and strengthened main and derrick booms on the LR 1750/2, so both will carry the suffix H for Heavy boom. The Heavy boom offers up to 30 percent increases over the LR 1750. The crane also features a hydraulic drive unit on the ballast wagon and improved platforms and access points for improved safety.

Chief executive Scott Bragg said: “The technical specifications of the cranes meet the demanding requirements of our markets. We are looking forward to continuing Bragg’s long lasting relationship with Liebherr.”

Bragg Crane Service, is based in Long Beach, California and operates from seven locations in the state, and one each in Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and Texas.
