Alexander and Kurt Kölch paid a visit to Liebherr-Werk Ehingen in July 2024 with very good reason – the owners of Richard Kölch & Sohn GmbH were in Ehingen to take delivery of the keys for their new LTM 1090-4.2. After receiving induction training on the mobile crane, the LTM 1090-4.2 immediately set off from the manufacturing plant to its first job, the erection of a prefabricated house.
“The 90 tonner from Liebherr made a massive impression on us with its compact dimensions”, explains Alexander Kölch, Managing Director of Franconian company, Richard Kölch & Sohn GmbH. “Machine relocation and transport jobs are a big area for us. The jobs often take place in constricted areas which is why we were looking for a powerful, compact crane.” The LTM 1090-4.2 impressed the family-run company with its width of just 2.55 metres. The maximum support base is 7.46 metres by 7.3 metres. Thanks to its VarioBase® variable supporting base, the 90 tonne machine is flexible enough to adjust to any site – the sliding beams can accept a load at any point and can be extended to any positions. At the same time, the LTM 1090-4.2 has high lifting capacities and a large working area due to its 60 metre telescopic boom. Short set-up times mean that the 90 tonne machine can quickly be readied for use at the site.
Alexander Kölch also says that in addition to the technical features, personal contact with Liebherr played a major role in deciding to buy from the company: “We are completely delighted with the whole procedure. From the initial talks and the demonstration to the final delivery, everything was very positive and we felt valued by Liebherr.”
The new LTM 1090-4.2 will supplement and improve the Richard Kölch & Sohn GmbH crane fleet. The Fürth-based family-run company operates throughout Germany and has an extensive fleet of mobile cranes which are used for a wide range of hoisting jobs in various industries. The Liebherr 4-axle model fits perfectly into the company’s fleet thanks to the fact that it is designed for universal use.
