Vergona Crane Co., Inc. orders a Liebherr LTM 1150-5.3, known as the jewel for any fleet.
New Jersey based Vergona Crane Co., Inc. purchases a Liebherr LTM 1150-5.3 at Conexpo 2023, the largest construction tradeshow in North America. Vergona Crane specializes in crane rentals, trucking services, and warehousing throughout New York and New Jersey.
With a maximum lifting capacity of 175 USt (150 t) and a long telescopic boom, the LTM 1150-5.3 is an excellent addition to Vergona’s fleet. The mobile crane is also compatible with many other Liebherr cranes with lifting capacities between 220,500 lbs and 396,830 lbs (100 t and 180 t).
With the LTM 1150-5.3, Liebherr has continued a single-engine strategy with a mechanical drive unit for the superstructure. The weight reduction created by the elimination of the superstructure engine is used to deliver a longer boom and more lifting capacity.

More experience, more confidence: six questions on the new period of use for Liebherr fibre ropes
Liebherr is increasing the period of use of its fibre ropes to up to 12 years in temperate climates and up to 8 years in hot climates, while the overall service life is rising from 14 to 16 years. But what's behind this decision, and why do all ropes already in the field benefit too? Six questions for Jochen Huber, Product Manager Fibre Technology at Liebherr, on the tests, the impact for customers on site, and the wider strategy behind Fibre technology.

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.
