AL.GIS. Sollevamenti S.r.l. boosts crane fleet with used LTM 1500-8.1 mobile crane from Liebherr

With the acquisition of the LTM 1500-8.1, AL.GIS. Sollevamenti S.r.l. is further expanding its crane fleet. The existing fleet already comprises several Liebherr mobile cranes with lifting capacities from 60 to 750 tonnes. The used 500-tonne crane fills an important gap in the portfolio and enables the company to cover an even wider range of lifting operations.

“The LTM 1500-8.1 significantly expands our range of applications and is the perfect addition to our existing fleet. It enables us to use our resources more efficiently and carry out complex projects involving heavy loads and long distances using our own resources,” says Angelo Boccagna, founder and managing director of AL.GIS. Sollevamenti S.r.l.

Great flexibility for challenging operations

The technical specifications of the crane were a key factor in the decision to invest. With its long telescopic boom and a luffing lattice jib with a maximum length of up to 91 metres, the LTM 1500-8.1 covers a wide range of applications. “The LTM 1500-8.1 opens up additional opportunities for us, particularly in the wind energy sector and in large-scale industrial projects. Thanks to its lifting capacity reserves and flexibility, we can meet customer requirements even more effectively and further expand our expertise in key markets,” explains Boccagna.

AL.GIS. Sollevamenti S.r.l. plans to deploy the 500-tonne crane primarily in the wind energy sector, in shipbuilding and port construction, in the steel industry and on infrastructure projects.

40 years of cooperation with Liebherr

In addition to the technical requirements, cost-effectiveness also played an important role in the investment decision. AL.GIS. Sollevamenti S.r.l. therefore specifically chose a used LTM 1500-8.1. At the same time, the company is continuing its many years of cooperation: Liebherr mobile cranes have been part of the Italian crane service provider’s vehicle fleet for around 40 years.

“We have been working with Liebherr for four decades and have seen first-hand how reliable their cranes are in numerous projects,” emphasises Boccagna.

“These positive experiences have reinforced our decision to choose the LTM 1500-8.1. With this crane, we are gaining a high-performance solution that is perfectly suited to our technical and commercial requirements."
