New addition to the Baldini Group: Second 110-tonne crane with LICCON3 control in Italy

The Baldini Group, headquartered in Faenza in northern Italy, has expanded its fleet with a new LTM 1110-5.2. The decision to opt for the Liebherr mobile crane was made for several reasons: “Basically, we needed a machine with a capacity of between 100 and 130 tonnes for our existing fleet. Three aspects were decisive for our choice,” explains Barbara Baldini, CEO of the Baldini Group: “Firstly, the crane needed to be able to carry its ballast during on-road driving without the need for an additional transport vehicle. The 110-tonne crane therefore had to be able to travel just as autonomously as a crane with a low tonnage. Secondly, VarioBase® Plus increases crane performance and, at the same time, enables a larger working radius. Thirdly, the robustness of the 5-axle chassis played an important role, as the mobile crane is to be used in various sectors – including the construction industry for the assembly of prefabricated parts.”

Barbara Baldini highlights: “Liebherr has always stood for reliability, precision and quality. A few years ago, we invested in a 100-tonne crane that delivers outstanding performance. After this extremely positive experience, we decided to buy the LTM 1110-5.2 from Liebherr as well.”

Experienced crane driver praises new mobile crane

“The new 110-tonne crane is very versatile. The design of the LICCON3 work screen is practical and operation is quick and easy. From a technical point of view, the crane is extremely stable and, at the same time, sensitive and quiet when driving on the construction site,” says crane driver Roberto Baldini, who tested the new machine immediately. “VarioBase® Plus also improves lifting operations, the driver’s cab is very comfortable, as is on-road driving,” adds the experienced crane driver, praising the round-the-clock availability and qualified customer service.

The Italian Baldini Group was founded in the early 1960s. Today, the large company is active in breakdown services, crane and work platform hire, special transport and car scrapping. The Baldini Group employs more than 150 specialists and has a fleet of 200 vehicles. In the 2023 financial year, the Group generated sales of around 22 million euros.
