LTM 1500-8.1 for WWN Guindastes: focus on versatility and performance

WWN Guindastes, one of the leading companies in the field of crane and lifting work in Brazil, has expanded its fleet further with the purchase of a 500-tonne crane from Liebherr. The LTM 1500-8.1 will be used on various assignments that call for a long reach and high load capacities, such as the dismantling of cranes and the installation of prefabricated components. With this procurement, the crane company is boosting its capacities for handling major projects.

Tried-and-tested crane with a variety of possible uses

In order to address the growing demand for challenging lifting work, the LTM 1500-8.1 from Liebherr will be a powerful partner when it comes to lifting and transporting heavy loads. WWN Guindastes already has an LTM 1500-8.1 in its fleet. With the procurement of a second 500-tonner, the company is doubling down on its trust in the model’s performance. “The LTM 1500-8.1 is a versatile and well-equipped crane which, thanks to its dimensions, is ideal for use in urban areas. Since we already have an LTM 1500-8.1 in our fleet, we are already very familiar with the machine’s functionality and performance”, says Leonardo Navarro, engineer at WWN Guindastes.

The Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1’s high load capacities, variety of possible uses and exceptional mobility are the key characteristics of this 8-axle model. The company also greatly values the heavy-duty crane’s agility, especially when it comes to carrying out complex tasks. “The two boom options with a 50 and 84-metre telescopic boom and the ability to move the crane when it is erected on site give the LTM 1500-8.1 remarkable versatility. These characteristics not only optimise our operations, but also allow us to make flexible adjustments to our work processes,” Navarro goes on to explain.

“Liebherr is the standard to beat, worldwide”

The decision in favour of a crane from Liebherr was strategically motivated for WWN Guindastes: “We chose Liebherr not just on the basis of our excellent partnership, but also because the brand is the standard to beat, worldwide. We firmly believe that the value of our fleet will be enhanced further with the purchase of Liebherr cranes”, says Navarro. The comprehensive customer service from Liebherr also impressed the crane company: “We are able to depend on Liebherr’s support no matter what the issue. There is no other brand that offers such comprehensive after-sales service. With Liebherr, our operations are even safer”, he adds.
