For the new crane addition, Quickline Crane turned to Liebherr because of its brand name and recognition for their quality equipment. As a reason for buying the new Liebherr crane, Craig Haan from Quickline quoted:

“We looked at the market projection and what we had coming up for projects and decided now was a good time to purchase a larger crane. We looked at many options but ultimately decided that a 300-tonne mobile crane was the right choice. From both a lifting capacity and mobility within seasonal road bans – This crane checked off the requirements.”

The new LTM 1250-5.1 is the largest crane in the Quickline Crane fleet and will be utilized on major Eagle Builders projects.
