750t Liebherr to Russia

Russian crane rental company Topkran has taken delivery of a 750 tonne Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 All Terrain crane.

The nine axle LTM 1750 features a 52 metre main boom and up to 91 metres of lattice jib. With a maximum working radius of 112 metres, it can lift its full capacity at a three metre radius and is the first 1750-9.1 in Russia. Topkran will initially use the new crane in the construction of underground railways. Next year the company intends to add a 1,350 tonne Liebherr LR 11350 crawler crane to its fleet.

Co-proprietor Grigori Grigorian said: "We are planning to use the new crane for underground railway construction and for jobs in the petrochemicals and metalworking industry."

Fellow proprietor Karen Mkhitaryan added: "We value quality very highly. That is why good partners are an important component for our future growth. That not only refers to the manufacturers of our cranes but also to finance and insurance companies."

Founded in 2005 for the rental of earthmoving machines, Topkran purchased its first cranes in 2008, and now has more than 60 mobile and crawler cranes and 60 tower cranes in its fleet, with 300 employees.
