First mobile tower crane from Liebherr turns 70

In 1949 the rebuilding process in Germany and Europe is in full swing. The construction workers had to manually load stones, mortar, cement or bricks from the trucks for building apartments and industrial facilities. Because in postwar Germany there were very few cranes and the few that existed were made from iron and cast steel and were extremely heavy. The building was time-consuming, meaning that cranes were only used occasionally on construction sites.

Liebherr MK 88 Plus as a space-saving miracle in the old city centre of Mainz

During the use of a Liebherr MK 88 Plus in the city centre of Mainz, the spontaneity of the crane driver and the flexibility of the mobile construction crane were essential: In very restricted space, crane requirements had been changed on site at short notice. Due to technical problems, an air conditioner had to be positioned on a different place on the roof of a commercial building at a greater distance to the crane. However, this was not possible from the planned place of installation because even from there, the maximum working radius had already been required for the lifting movement. Nevertheless, the team of the crane and heavy-duty logistics company Riga-Mainz found quickly a practicable solution for the new situation on site.
