Morocco-based construction and industrial plant contractor Société Chérifienne de Matériel Industriel et Ferroviaire (SCIF) has expanded its fleet of mobile cranes with two Liebherr LTM 1070-4.2 all-terrain cranes and an LRT 1100-2.1 rough-terrain crane. Among these, the LRT 1100-2.1 and one of the LTM 1070-4.2 models are used machines.
Liebherr is not only a leading manufacturer of mobile cranes, but also among the largest used crane dealers in the world. Since it was founded, the Liebherr plant in Ehingen has delivered more than 10,000 used cranes to customers around the world.
Mohamed El Houri, installations director, SCIF, says: “Liebherr is the manufacturer, and therefore has all the competence it needs to deliver perfect used cranes. The two machines we ordered were refurbished at the factory and we are very impressed with the cranes’ quality.”
The LRT 1100-2.1, the first of its kind to arrive in Morocco, is one of the latest generation of Liebherr rough terrain cranes providing advanced safety features such as the VarioBase variable supporting base as standard. SCIF opted for the crane because of features such as the off-road handling, pick-and-carry feature and 50 metre telescopic boom that are useful for the jobs SCIF deals with on a regular basis. The boom on the LTM 1070-4.2 is also 50 metres in length. The two compact, flexible 4-axle cranes will cover around 70% of the load cases SCIF has to tackle.
Rachid Makboul, sales director, SCIF, says: “We have had some very good experience with our Liebherr LTM 1130-5.1, which we bought in 2016. Its quality and reliability are outstanding. Furthermore, with its branch office in Casablanca, very close to our base, Liebherr provides us with excellent service and fast supplies of spare parts.”
