Liebherr MK Series Tower Crane hits U.S. Soil
Posted on
IDEAL proudly welcomes the first Liebherr MK Series Tower Crane's to hit U.S. soil! A dream of the last 10 years when President, Robert Kalhagen, saw one in action for the first time at the Bauma trade fair in Munich, Germany. A revolutionary decision due to the combination of height and reach that comes from a tower crane paired with the maneuverability of a mobile crane. Each of the 3 models, MK 73-3.1, MK 88-4.1 and the MK 140-5.1 can be set up in 30 minutes or less directly against buildings and infrastructure. While Europe has been utilizing these cranes for years, there is nothing quite like it here in the United States. History is being made, and IDEAL is proud to be a part of it.
Just last week the MK 88-4.1 was able to get straight to work here in DeForest, Wisconsin - only 12 minutes of fold out time! Check it out below -
