From the region for the region: ESB Kranverleih Transport und Hebetechnik GmbH ordered its first Liebherr mobile construction crane at the construction machinery trade fair in Munich. The crane rental company, based in Mittelbiberach in southern Germany, is located just a few kilometres from Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbH, where MK series equipment is manufactured.
Managing director Karl Engeser Jr. opted for a completely retreaded MK 88 Plus. The "Plus Package" provides more capacity for the jib. With the taxi crane, several operations can be carried out in one day without much logistical effort. Only one person is needed for driving, assembly and operation. In all-electric operation, the crane is particularly quiet and environmentally friendly. This is made possible by the future-oriented hybrid power concept.
"Liebherr convinced us with its high-quality machines and on-site customer service. We are already looking forward to being able to use our new MK," says Karl Engeser Jr. The fleet has so far exclusively comprised Liebherr mobile cranes from Ehingen. In future, a retreaded MK 88 Plus from Biberach will supplement the fleet for more flexibility during operations.
