Based in Hamburg, family-run Griebel & Mahncke has specialised in heavy transport services, relocation and assembly work since 1924. It’s fleet consists of two smaller cranes with 40 and 60 tonne capacities and the new LTM 1095-5.1 machine.

Günther Mahncke, the third generation owner of the company said: “We decided on the LTM 1095-5.1 because of its 58 metre telescopic boom. It is also ideal for balcony installations with its folding jib and these are jobs that we regularly carry out. This involves hoisting loads of up to five tonnes over houses. Another plus point is that the crane can carry lots of ballast with its 12 tonne axle load. That enables us to carry out a wide range of hoisting work without requiring additional transport."
