Budrovich Contracting Co., based in the Midwest, has recently taken delivery of the first Liebherr LTM 1110-5.2 mobile crane equipped with LICCON3 in the United States. This crane, boasting a maximum load capacity of 125 USt (110 t) and a telescopic boom reaching 197 ft (60 m), perfectly suits Budrovich's hosting needs. Notably, Budrovich purchased two Liebherr LTM 1110-5.2 mobile cranes at Conexpo 2023, showcasing their commitment to Liebherr machinery. With another LTM 1110-5.2 mobile crane set to arrive in the spring of 2024, Budrovich underscores the importance of excellent training and successful Liebherr machine implementation in their purchasing process.
This milestone was marked with a handover ceremony in St. Louis, MO, where Budrovich received the first LTM 1110-5.2 outfitted with LICCON3 in the United States. Founded in 1945, Budrovich Contracting Co. has established itself as a leader in crane rental, excavating, grading, land development and other services across the Midwest. With over 100 carry deck, rough terrain, crawler, and hydraulic truck cranes, Budrovich offers one of the most extensive crane rental fleets in the St. Louis area.
“Liebherr’s willingness to train our operators and mechanics along with the successful implementation of recent Liebherr cranes into our fleet has been valuable in our purchasing process,” said Sam Harper, Assistant Operations Manager for Budrovich Cranes.
The Liebherr LTM 1110-5.2 mobile crane is not just a symbol of Budrovich's growth; it represents a modern solution that meets evolving industry standards. Equipped with the third generation LICCON control system, LICCON3, this crane ensures greater safety and comfort for operators. Enhanced features include automatic heating and climate control in the operator’s cab, an improved dashboard and display, and the ZF TraXon DynamicPerform gearbox, demonstrating Liebherr's commitment to innovation and excellence in crane technology.
