Western Crane & Rigging, Inc., a Kentucky-based crane company, expanded its fleet with the delivery of a Liebherr LTM 1100-5.3 mobile crane. As the first Liebherr crane in Western Crane & Rigging’s fleet, the crane signifies the start to a strong relationship between the two family-owned businesses.
Family owned and operated since 1987, Western Crane & Rigging has delivered trusted crane, rigging, and lifting services nationwide, earning its place as a premier crane service company in the region. The team at Western Crane & Rigging specializes in turnkey lifting, rigging and millwright in addition to steel fabrication services for industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects. With the rise in data center work, Western Crane & Rigging was looking to invest in equipment more tailored to the application.
“We chose Liebherr because of the unmatched quality of their machines and the level of customer service their team consistently provides,” said J. David Fields, co-owner of Western Crane & Rigging.
“We have a wonderful team behind us that has helped to make this investment possible,” said Jessica F. Holcombe, co-owner of Western Crane & Rigging. “And Liebherr’s reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to supporting customers made our decision an easy one.”
In addition to the LTM 1100-5.3 mobile crane, Western Crane & Rigging has two additional Liebherr cranes on order, an LTR 1220 telescopic crawler crane and an LR 1400 SX crawler crane.
The LTM 1100-5.3 mobile crane is designed to provide mobility, economy, and performance, earning it the title of “master of all roads.” It features a telescopic boom and can carry up to 37,250 pounds. (16.9 tons) of ballast on public roads, making it more flexible on site and between projects.
