The new units include a three axle 60 tonne LTM 1060-3.1 and two 40 tonne two axle LTM 1040-2.1s. The company also placed an order for an MK 140 mobile self-erecting tower crane at Vertikal Days last month.

The LTM 1060-3.1 is the second unit the company has purchased in the past nine months, and includes the Liebherr Variobase outrigger set up system, 48 metre main boom and it can travel with all of its 12.8 tonnes of counterweight, plus bi-fold extension under UK STGO rules.

The LTM 1040-2.1 features a 35 metre four section main boom - with the ability to telescope under load - plus a 9.5 metre swingaway extension which can offset by up to 60 degrees.

The company also ordered a five axle eight tonne MK 140, with a maximum radius of 58.5 metres and 1,900kg jib tip capacity. The jib can be extended to reach 62.4 or 65 metres with a 1,000kg capacity.

Southern Cranes & Access director Kelvin Prince said: “We have made significant investments is Liebherr cranes over the last few years because we know them to be extremely reliable both in terms of product and also service. We are very pleased to add another LTM 1060 to our fleet as our previous models have proved to be very popular thanks to their strength and reliability. The MK 140 further complements our existing range of Liebherr mobile tower cranes enabling our customers to benefit from an increased range and hook height.”
