Max Cranes, one of Liebherr-Australia's South Australian customers, has taken ownership of the largest All-Terrain Mobile Cranes manufactured by Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH (LWE) and has the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
MAX and its heavy lift team will be involved in the service and maintenance of rapidly rising wind farm parks and using the machine for general heavy lifting on large projects across the country.
Decisions for the LTM 11200-9.1 were its flexibility, long reach and large capacity of up to 1,200 tons; this allows MAX to expand its capabilities in the construction and maintenance of wind towers nationally.
After weeks of intense training with two expert trainers from Liebherr's Mobile and Crawler Crane factory, MAX Cranes took delivery of the machine ahead of its open day launch in Port Augusta in late November. With over 300 people in attendance, MAX's dedication and enthusiasm for heavy lifting on this machine was inspiring. The day after launch, they opened their doors to schoolchildren and the public to experience this extraordinary machine.
