The Alfasi Group was established more than 30 years ago, initially focussing on steel erection. Since then, the company has added other services to its offering, including bare rental of cranes. It currently owns almost 20 crawlers, rough terrains and truck mounted towers.
It took delivery late last year of its first Liebherr crawler, a 300t LR1300, the first model of this crane sold in Australia. A second Liebherr crawler, a 130t LR1130, was delivered in May. The company is now waiting on delivery of its third Liebherr crawler, a 100t LR1100.
Alfasi general manager Gary Murphy said, “We found Liebherr cranes they offered better lift charts and value giving a super lift capability and, with the addition of derricks, offered increased versatility.
“Generally they offered by far the best package, incorporating the most developed safety features. A key component in our expansion plans, the Liebherr 300 t LR1300 has significantly expanded our ‘dry hire’ capabilities.
He continued to elaborate further, “As a relatively new model, it is technically advanced with superior lift charts.”
