First Liebherrs for Sims

US based rental company Sims Crane & Equipment has purchased four new Liebherr cranes in a deal worth more than $10 million.

The four cranes, the first Liebherrs in the company’s fleet include three 300 tonne LR1300 crawler cranes and one 500 tonne LTM 1500-8.1 All Terrain. One of the new crawlers has been delivered and already gone out on its first job, with the other two due to arrive later this month. The LR1300 has a maximum main boom of 92 metres and a maximum system length of 169 metres. The LTM1500 will arrive early in the new year. The order is part of a $75 million three year fleet expansion and update programme.

Vice president of marketing Dean Sims II said: “The Liebherr 330-ton cranes nicely fill in the space between our 275-ton cranes and our 450-ton cranes. They will be ideal for projects involving highway bridge beams and stadium and hospital construction. We sent the first Liebherr crane out to a job site within a very short time of its arrival.”
