Düsseldorf, Germany-based Hess has strengthened its fleet with a Liebherr LTM 1150-5.3 mobile crane.
Hess specialises in company relocations, machine installation and machine transport services. The company plans to use the 150-tonne crane for heavy installation work.
Joachim Hess said: “The LTM 1150-5.3 is a modern, powerful crane which we can use flexibly due to the fact that its road-going state can be varied. It is also compact and manoeuvrable – a major benefit for many of our jobs.”
