Dutch mobile crane rental specialist MJ van Riel has taken delivery of a new flagship for its fleet.

The new 450 tonne capacity Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1 wheeled mobile telescopic crane was received towards the end of 2017. It replaces a Grove GMK6300 and joins a Grove GMK6400 at the top of the Tilburg-based rental company’s capacity scale.

Pictured in front of the crane is Martin van Riel, MJ van Riel owner, with the handover key from Liebherr.
