The company's managing partner Hillary Pinto said: "The LTM 1500-8.1 is my absolute favourite crane from Ehingen. "Liebherr is the manufacturer with the most comprehensive portfolio of modern and reliable products that always represent the benchmark in their class. In addition, it is continuously optimising its after-sales service, which is so immensely important for crane rental companies. Liebherr is not simply our supplier, but was and is rather a crucial partner in Al Faris' long success story. Together we will continue on the path of healthy and successful growth."

Fellow shareholder Keonne Pinto added: "The concept of the LTM 1300-6.3 with its 90 metre telescopic boom combined with compact dimensions is perfect for universal operations here in the Middle East, especially in the energy sector. This type of crane is eagerly awaited in the UAE and Saudi Arabia."

The Al Faris Group was founded in 1992 and is now the largest crane and heavy transport company in the Middle East with around 3,600 employees spread across six branches in the United Arab Emirates, three sites in Saudi Arabia and one outlet in Bahrain. Its current crane fleet includes 460 Liebherrs with All Terrains from the 30 tonne LTM 1030-2.1 to the 1,200 tonne LTM 11200-9.1 and crawler cranes from the 350 tonne LR 1350 to the 1,000 tonne LR 11000.
