From the region, ESB Kranverleih Transport and 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 revised 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 been exclusively comprised of Liebherr mobile cranes from Ehingen. In the future, a retired MK 88 Plus from Biberach will supplement the fleet for more flexibility during operations.

Liebherr is an independent, wholly-owned family-run company, which is managed as a decentralised Group. Independently operating divisional control companies are responsible for the activities in the individual product segments. The parent company of the Group is Liebherr-International AG. It executes managerial, coordinating and monitoring functions. Country-specific activities are often bundled in cross-divisional sales and service companies.
