Mobile and Crawler Cranes, March X , 2023 – Denver based crane company, ML Crane Group, takes delivery of the Liebherr LR 1700-1.0 with derrick system at Conexpo 2023.

ML Crane Group continues to purchase cranes from Liebherr due to the reliability of service and versatility of machines. The LR 1700-1.0 with derrick system will also allow ML Crane Group the ability to diversify into the heavy lift market and further strengthen their presence into the renewable energy sector as well as the oil and gas sectors.

The LR 1700-1.0 offers outstanding lifting capabilities and easier assembly than past versions, as well as economical transport. The crawler crane is particularly suitable for erecting wind turbines further aiding in ML Crane Group’s emphasis on the renewable industry.

With a vision to be a preferred partner to their customers, ML Crane Group emphasizes their core values of safety, quality, integrity, accountability, collaboration, and respect across all of their projects.

Caroline Asimakopolous, President of ML Crane Group said, “We are thrilled with our new LR 1700-1.0 and can't wait to get it to its first job. Liebherr's product reliability is a key factor of our purchase. This crane compliments our current wind fleet well and the heavy lift package adds versatility that we don't currently have.”
