The new LTM 1300-6.3 mobile crane is the first 300 tonne crane in the Taiwanese crane rental company’s fleet.

The company chose the crane for its 90 metre long boom and high lifting capacities.

“Liebherr is simply the best. Not only their cranes, but also their after-sales service,” said Chien-Min Wu, owner and CEO of Xin-Hong.

The mobile crane can carry its telescopic boom with a 12 tonne axle load on public roads. In addition to the long telescopic boom, key factors for choosing this economical, fast-erecting crane were its compact ballast options thanks to VarioBallast and its VarioBase support technology.

“The LTM 1300-6.3 is particularly suitable for our planned operations in science parks, but also on construction sites, in refineries and power stations. It’s a versatile 6 axle crane with an excellent telescopic boom and outstanding capacities,” added Wu. “With the new mobile crane, we now also have a new flagship for our fleet, which has a considerable resale value.”

The company added its first Liebherr crane, an LTM 1230-5.1, to its portfolio in 2023.
