Auto-Klug has expanded its fleet with a new Liebherr LTM 1250-5.1, replacing an older 220-tonne crane as part of the company’s ongoing modernisation program.
Alfred Klug GmbH & Co. KG, based in Hof in Upper Franconia, will deploy the 250-tonne, five-axle crane across its sites in Bavaria, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The decision to invest again in the LTM 1250-5.1 was driven by its high flexibility and strong performance.
“We have been using a Liebherr LTM 1250-5.1 crane since 2019 and are extremely satisfied with it. The new order of identical equipment makes the work of our drivers easier and ensures smooth processes for approvals, transport and assembly and disassembly” said Christina Glück, general manager of Alfred Klug GmbH & Co. KG.
General manager Sebastian Häger said the purchase was a deliberate move to improve efficiency.
“It is not only the most powerful 5-axle crane on the market but can also be used very flexibly. Another benefit is that the comprehensive range of accessories for our existing crane is fully compatible with the new machine. That creates synergies, saves time and costs and increases efficiency in daily use” said Sebastian.
The family-run business now operates 45 mobile and loading cranes, including two LTM 1250-5.1s, one LTM 1150-5.3 and three Liebherr MK 88 mobile construction cranes. The new crane will be used mainly on bridge construction projects, transformer station installations and concrete element handling across Germany.
Christina said the investment strengthens the company’s heavy-duty capability and reflects its long-standing relationship with Liebherr. “We rely on Liebherr because we have had very good experiences with their service and support by their customer and field service for many years. The investment is another step towards offering our customers reliable and efficient solutions.”
