Danish crane contractor Karl Thygesen & Søn took delivery of another Liebherr MK 88 mobile construction crane.

The MK 88 was commissioned at Liebherr-Werk Biberach as part of an introduction training programme for the new crane. Representatives of Thygesen & Søn as well as of the AMU-Hoverdal crane driver school travelled to the manufacturing plant in Biberach to take delivery of the crane.

The four-axle crane has 1,700kg maximum lifting capacity at the jib head of 45m working radius.

The Liebherr mobile construction crane already completed its first jobs. In the course of scaffolding cladding works over the roofs of Copenhagen, it lifted parts weighing up to 800kg.

For Thygesen, the crane is its second MK 88, joining the first one ordered last year. The company with a workforce of 20 also has two Liebherr mobile cranes - an LTM 1090-5.1 and an LTM 1130-5.1 – in its fleet in Greve.
