Liebherr VarioBase® allows bridge to be constructed despite minimal space availability for mobile cranes

The first model of the new Liebherr LTM 1160-5.2 mobile crane was delivered to Swiss crane contractor Senn AG in the summer. Working with an LTM 1130-5.1 the new mobile crane completed a job during the last few weeks which other cranes would not have managed as a result of the restricted amount of space available. Over a period of eight nights, a 100-year old railway bridge was replaced in Aarwangen in the Canton of Bern. It was only possible to erect both cranes on a narrow, parallel road bridge using the VarioBase® variable supporting base developed by Liebherr.
