Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 hoists symbolic "M" on to one of the highest residential buildings in the Netherlands

The "Montevideo" building was opened in 2005 and is named about the warehouse of the same name which used to occupy the site. There are other buildings in the same area of the city called "New York" and "New Orleans". The area was historically the embarkation point for ships travelling to America. The "M" on the roof of the building is illuminated and turns with the wind.

The 8-metre high symbol weighs in at 8 tonnes and has been renovated, derusted and painted. The LTM 11200-9.1 positioned the "M" on the very top of the building in Rotterdam. For this job the Liebherr heavy duty crane was equipped with a 52.2-metre telescopic boom, Y-guying and a 108-metre luffing lattice jib. The mobile crane is the flagship in the fleet operated by Dutch crane contractor Van Marwijk Kraanverhuur.

This international crane and heavy haulage company first opened for business in 1965. All the mobile cranes in the experienced contractor's fleet are made by Liebherr. Its fleet also includes mobile construction cranes and crawler cranes.
