Six in one go: Liebherr 125 K fast-erecting cranes for Dumberger

The Liebherr 125 K fast-erecting crane, with a radius of 55 metres and an eight-tonne maximum lifting capacity, is the largest fast-erecting crane on the market. Its flexibility and performance data will be of great advantage during the construction of 34 apartments, spread out over four buildings, in Langweid am Lech near Augsburg. The 125 K will be in use throughout the construction project for tasks such as the lifting of prefabricated concrete parts weighing up to eight tonnes. The 125 K is being supported by an 81 K.

Dumberger is the developer and main contractor of the project. In several construction phases, ten multi-occupancy buildings with 89 apartments, 44 semi-detached houses and 18 terraced houses will be built on approximately 40,000 square metres of land. The so-called Langweid Village will continue to grow over the coming years. The four buildings being erected with the help of the 125 K are expected to be ready for occupancy at the beginning of next year.

The delivery and erection of the first 125 K by Liebherr dealer Nagel with whom Dumberger has had a close business relationship for decades, was eagerly awaited by those working at the construction site. For them, it is the precision control system and high quality workmanship of the new cranes that matter, as well as their impressive reach and lifting capacity.

Dumberger was founded in 1945 and is a family owned business, now in its third generation. Today, it employs around 170 people and is one of the largest construction companies in the Augsburg region. The company exclusively uses its own employees for construction work as well as its own machinery, the newest ones are the six Liebherr 125 K fast-erecting cranes. These complement the existing fleet of Liebherr machinery perfectly: in addition to ten 81 Ks, Dumberger also owns two wheeled excavators (A 918 Compact Litronic und A 924 Litronic), a wheel loader L550 XPower and an LTM 1070-4 mobile crane.
