For Immediate Release
Derby, CT – A Quick Pick Crane Service announced today that it has closed a deal to buy a 400 Ton hydraulic crane. The 400 Ton Liebherr 1350 – 6.1 will be the 2nd largest hydraulic crane in the state of Connecticut. The machine offers 230’ of main power boom, 439’ total tip height, and maximum horizontal reach of 310’.
A crane of this size has multiple applications in construction and industry. It can assemble large tower cranes used in the construction of high-rise buildings, bridge assembly, large precast buildings and structures, windmill construction, power plant construction/maintenance, and hoisting air conditioning units in hard to reach areas. Its mere size makes it a rare machine and thus will be a regional crane traveling throughout CT, NY, MA, RI and beyond.
The company will take delivery of the crane early this week and train directly with Liebherr representatives for the following 2 weeks. After that, the machine will embark on its maiden voyage to perform a job in northern Connecticut. It will then return to Derby as it awaits the arrival of its 256′ luffing jib and a potential public showcase.
