General manager Raymond Cron said: "The order for the 16 cranes will support the performance of our overall fleet. These new LRT and LTM machines will greatly assist us in meeting our ongoing customer enquiries while maintaining a fleet of modern, reliable machines. They will mainly be used in the construction, petrochemical, mining and renewable energy industries. The higher capacity of the LTM 1650-8.1 is a logical complement to our two 500 tonne LTM 1500-8.1 cranes, which have proven to be the outstanding cranes in our fleet since 2004.”
“We considered other manufacturers, but the support and service we receive from Saudi Liebherr is first class and we wanted to feel confident that we would have reliable support for our new investments.”
