Director and vice president of operations Reagan LaPrairie said: “We chose the new cranes based on Liebherr's superior factory products and long term value and utilisation that we have experienced in their All Terrain Cranes and the LTR fleet that we have in use. Liebherr provides the best product when it comes to cranes and how they keep working in extreme cold operating conditions.”

“It was an easy transition from our current fleet of Liebherr's All Terrain cranes when it came to training our people on the new LRT cranes due to the similar systems on their All Terrain cranes. The features on these cranes are really operator friendly. So the operators are happy, the mechanics are happy and our customers are happy – that's why I have to say the LRT is clearly a winner in my books. I think Liebherr really got it right on these Rough Terrain cranes - they were listening to the crane guys when they designed it.”
