At Bauma 2022, the Liebherr Tower Cranes division and Metallica Caribbean S.A. have signed a Dealer Agreement for the Cuban market. Customers across Cuba will be able to benefit from the full range of Liebherr tower cranes and self-erecting cranes with equipment from 2.5 to 50 tons and 90-meter jib lengths with direct service in their country.
Following the agreement, the fleet of Liebherr cranes will supply the construction market with quality equipment with high lifting speeds and low energy consumption that gives high productivity and efficiency which the market requires.
Metallica Caribbean S.A. will now also be able to access key Liebherr services such as assistance services and training courses, allowing for continuous development of the local Cuban market.
A perfect match
The Metallica Caribbean S.A. team has a long track record of construction and infrastructure projects in Cuba. Amongst others, they carried out important sales of tower cranes which are being used for the construction of hotels in Havana and Varadero.

Liebherr is increasing the overall service life of its Fibre ropes from 14 to 16 years, with the decisive period of use rising to up to 12 years. This is based on multi-year ageing trials on test rigs and analyses of ropes already in field. The new ruling applies automatically to all new ropes and those already in the field. This step forms part of Liebherr's ongoing path towards establishing Fibre technology as the new standard in the tower crane market.
