September 23, 2015 - McNally-Nimergood Co. recently expanded its crane fleet with a new Liebherr LTM 1400-7.1 mobile crane. This Liebherr all-terrain crane delivers a lifting capacity of 500 tons, making it one of the largest mobile cranes in Michigan.

 

“This crane is a terrific addition to our modern fleet. Despite its relative size, the machine is surprisingly maneuverable,” says Jeff McNally, president and CEO of McNally-Nimergood. “We spent nearly a year looking into the purchase of a new crane. There are a number of things to consider when buying a piece of equipment this large.”

 

After the mobile crane was manufactured and assembled by Liebherr in Ehingen, Germany, it was loaded on to a large freighter to start its long journey to Baltimore. In fact, 13 low loaders were waiting to transport the crane and all its equipment to the McNally-Nimergood site in Saginaw, Mich. Once it had arrived the McNally-Nimergood team erected the crane, conducted tests, and commissioned the heavy-duty machine. McNally-Nimergood is the first crane contractor in Michigan to have an LTM 1400-7.1 in its fleet.

The new addition to the fleet has a maximum radius of 325 ft. “We had plenty of visitors during the assembly,” said McNally, who has been in the construction and crane rental industry for more than 40 years. “You could literally see our new crane from over a mile away.” After undergoing the commissioning procedure, the LTM 1400-7.1 has completed several jobs in the Michigan area.

 

The Liebherr mobile crane adds to a crane fleet which includes more than twenty other mobile cranes. Founded in 1946, the company provides crane rental, rigging, heavy haul, and lifting services throughout Michigan. For almost 70 years the family-run company has been striving to satisfy the wishes of its customers for safe, timely, and cost-effective jobs. McNally-Nimergood relies on safety, quality, and long experience in these efforts.
