The Saudi Arabian company RISAL has taken delivery of a used Liebherr mobile crane: the LTM 1120-4.1, built in 2022, represents the start of a long-standing partnership. The 120-tonne crane is the most powerful 4-axle mobile crane on the market and also has the longest telescopic boom in its class. At RISAL, the Liebherr LTM 1120-4.1 will be used for loading work.

The young LTM 1120-4.1 is a used crane and the first mobile crane to join the fleet at Rawabi industrial services (RISAL). The modern crane is optimally equipped with Liebherr's innovative technologies such as VarioBase® and VarioBallast^®. Mr. Mahmoud Mansy, Supply Chain Manager at RISAL explained: “We chose this crane because it matches our requirements perfectly in terms of lifting capacity and boom length. It is exceptionally powerful, has a long telescopic boom and can be used flexibly. We were also looking for a young used vehicle with a low number of hours of use. And that's exactly what we found at Liebherr.”

The LTM 1120-4.2 is from 2022 and was previously used in Germany. Together with Saudi Liebherr Company Ltd. and in consultation with the used crane experts based at the manufacturer's plant in Ehingen, RISAL decided to have some minor maintenance and servicing work carried out on the crane. Following its adaptation to the country-specific requirements and thanks to the renowned long-lasting quality of Liebherr mobile cranes, the used crane was nearly a brand-new crane.

The company RISAL, which employs around 1,500 people, offers a full range of industrial and environmental services. These include, for example, a wide range of cleaning and waste disposal services. Mr. Mahmoud Mansy reports: “We will use the LTM 1120-4.1 for loading and offloading operations in Saudi Arabia at one of the largest energy and chemical companies in the world. For this, we need reliable equipment. Liebherr mobile cranes have convinced us due to the high quality of their products and their reliable after sales service. We are looking forward to a long-term partnership with Liebherr.”
