Canadian construction contractor LJP filled a gap in its fleet with another new telescopic boom crawler crane.

“When Liebherr launched the LTR 1150 onto the market, we instantly knew that it would fit our fleet perfectly,” said Axel Côté, operations manager at LJP Construction which specialises in formwork technology.

“We already have an LTR 1060 and we’re very happy with it. To handle the growing demands, however, the 150 tonne crane is going to be the perfect addition to our fleet.” Côté cited impressive load charts, compactness and flexibility when relocating the crane on site as reasons for choosing it.

He also said the LTR’s incorporation of VarioBase from LTM series wheeled mobile cranes was key in choosing what to buy.

Since buying its first Liebherr crane in 2009 LJP has added 21 tower cranes, 12 wheeled mobiles and a crawler, plus concrete pumps, wheeled loaders and telehandlers. LJP operates in and around Montreal and has a workforce of 400.
