Wittrock and Ulferts secure Liebherr mobile construction crane order

The groups Wittrock and Ulferts regularly order cranes from Liebherr for their crane fleet, which is active throughout Europe. The latest order with Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbH consists of twelve mobile construction cranes; nine MK 88-4.1s and three MK 140-5.1s. The machines will be delivered to various locations in Germany between October 2024 and July 2025.

Fleet expansion for two groups of companies

The network is made up of two groups of companies with more than 25 branches throughout Germany. Marcus Wittrock, one of the Managing Directors at the Wittrock Group, says, ?We have been focussing on mobile construction cranes since 2003, meaning we can offer our customers the full range of mobile cranes.? Oliver Hermann, also Managing Director at the Wittrock Group, adds, ?The market for MK cranes has developed quite favourably for us in recent years. These cranes are now in high demand, which is why we're not only replacing them, but also expanding the fleet.? ?The independent, family-run groups work closely together,? says Temmo Niekamp. He manages the Ulferts Group together with Hermann Ulferts and is also Managing Director at Ulferts & Wittrock.

A popular choice for inner-city use

The four-axle MK 88-4.1 mobile construction crane offers a maximum reach of 45 metres, while the five-axle MK 140-5.1 can achieve a maximum reach of 65 metres with the help of VarioJib and hook heights of up to 92 metres. All the mobile construction cranes are ready for use within a short space of time and can be transported, assembled and operated by just one person. As they need very little space, they can be positioned close to buildings and are therefore ideal for construction sites in inner-city areas. All ordered machines are equipped with an access cage. Passengers can therefore be transported using these specially designated carriers without delay. The cranes also come with an optional modular switchgear cabinet that provides redundant protection for the control system.
