The positive experience with the MK 88-4.1 and the MK 140-5.1 speaks for itself: Phoenix Crane Service ordered two more Liebherr mobile construction cranes of the same type at Bauma. “The MK cranes are innovative; they provide new solutions and service a wide range of applications. We are excited to add two more MK cranes to our fleet,” says Michael Knott, President/CEO at Phoenix Crane Service.
The US company based in Atlanta (Georgia) has a total of 15 Liebherr cranes as of the time of this announcement. Their fleet includes rough terrain cranes, telescopic mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and MK mobile tower cranes. Phoenix primarily services the construction industry and several critical infrastructure sectors. "With the two new MK cranes, we can save a lot of time in the field. They give us the opportunity to support our clients with creative solutions for their projects," adds Knott.
