New order for 27 new mobile cranes follows 24 cranes delivered in 2022.

Dubai, UAE-headquartered crane and heavy equipment specialist Al Faris is expanding its fleet with 27 Liebherr mobile cranes ordered for delivery in 2023 and 2024. The deal was struck at Bauma 2022.

The order follows 24 mobile cranes, with lifting capacities from 110 to 700 tonnes, delivered by Liebherr in 2022.

The new order includes six additional LTM 1300-6.3s. “The concept of the LTM 1300-6.3 with its 90-metre telescopic boom combined with compact dimensions is perfect for universal operations here in the Middle East, especially in the energy sector,” said Al Faris shareholder Keonne Pinto. “This type of crane is eagerly awaited in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Al Faris is one of Liebherr's largest customers worldwide and currently has 460 Liebherr cranes in its fleet – including mobile cranes ranging from the LTM 1030-2.1 to the LTM 11200-9.1 and crawler cranes ranging from the LR 1350 to the LR 11000.

"Liebherr is the manufacturer with the most comprehensive portfolio of modern and reliable products that always represent the benchmark in their class,” said Al Faris managing partner Hillary Pinto. “In addition Liebherr is continuously optimising its after-sales service which is so important for crane rental companies. Liebherr is a leader in this field. Therefore, Liebherr is not simply our supplier but was, and is, a crucial partner in Al Faris' long success story. Together we will continue on the path of healthy and successful growth."
