Davies Crane Hire in Wales has added a new fleet flagship in the form of a Liebherr LTM 1650-8.1 wheeled mobile telescopic crane.

In addition to being the company’s largest crane its delivery marked its 45th anniversary in the crane rental business. The eight axle 700 tonner has a 54 or 84 metre boom options.

It is a top specification unit that includes the VarioBase outrigger system and VarioBallast for the counterweight. There is also the full 90 metre luffing jib and Y-guying to give a 152 metre hook height and 112 metre maximum radius.

New markets

Neil Davies, Davies Crane Hire managing director, said, “The introduction of the LTM 1650-8.1 into our fleet is the next step for the business, as we venture into new markets. The lifts in the construction industry are becoming larger and heavier, so we need to equip ourselves to best support our customers, and the 700-tonner does just that.”

Davies Crane Hire operates a fleet of wheeled mobile and crawler cranes. Its four locations are in Carmarthen, Port Talbot, Milford Haven and Cardiff.
