Mazur’s fibre first
19 February 2020Polish tower crane company Mazur Zurawie is the country’s first to receive a tower crane designed for use with fibre rope, having recently bought a new Liebherr 240 EC B Fibre.
The Fibre variants of Liebherr’s EC B range were launched at Bauma last year; Mazur owner Krzystof Mazur signed an order for the flat-top crane at the show. This January, he travelled to Biberach, along with MDs Boguslaw Salwinski and Damian Oles to see the crane as it was shipped.
When asked why he had opted for the fibre rope version of the crane, Mazur said, “Because I wanted to be one of the firsts to own a Fibre crane,” but then he also added, “and because its performance fits in well with our fleet.”
The 240 EC-B 10 Fibre offers a 10t maximum load capacity and a jib head lifting capacity of 2,850kg at 65m. With the help of an additional jib extension, the crane can also achieve a radius of 68m. Mazur had already planned various jobs for his new Fibre Crane before taking it over.
Founded in 2002, Mazur Zurawie is Poland’s largest privately-owned tower crane hire provider with a fleet of around 190 cranes. Just last year, Mazur enjoyed another first when the company purchased a Liebherr 230 HC-L 8/16 Litronic – Poland’s first new crane in the luffing jib crane segment.
