The South Korean crane rental company Wooricrane Co. Ltd. is expanding its portfolio with two mobile construction cranes from Liebherr. The purchase agreement for a new MK 140-5.1 and a new MK 88-4.1 was signed at Bauma 2022. It is the first MK 88-4.1 that Liebherr has sold to South Korea.
The powerful new machines will mainly be used for maintenance work on existing plants and facilities. „Liebherr convinced us with its high quality and the innovative MK concept,“ says Park Hong-Shin, owner of Wooricrane Co. Ltd. „This will enable us to support our important customers like Samsung even better.“
Liebherr mobile construction cranes can be erected and dismantled within a few minutes. Only one person is needed for assembly, operation and driving. This flexible taxi crane concept enables several operations on the same day. Thanks to their vertical tower, MKs easily overcome interfering edges and can work close to the building. The hybrid power concept enables purely electric crane operation on the construction site for zero emissions.

Liebherr is increasing the overall service life of its Fibre ropes from 14 to 16 years, with the decisive period of use rising to up to 12 years. This is based on multi-year ageing trials on test rigs and analyses of ropes already in field. The new ruling applies automatically to all new ropes and those already in the field. This step forms part of Liebherr's ongoing path towards establishing Fibre technology as the new standard in the tower crane market.
