Around 80 per cent of Maxikraft’s fleet comprises Liebherr cranes.

Since founding the company in 1992, Maik Kanitzky, owner of Maxikraft Group, has purchased around 800 Liebherr cranes, investing nearly €500 million (US$546 million).

Kanitzky said, “From my point of view, the employees are the company. And great people have to work at Liebherr to achieve this kind of performance.

“Everyone has to do a good job so that 2,000 cranes can be delivered in a year. As a customer, I can only say: Thank you very much.”
